A new Sydney craft brewery has released an XPA with a 1980s Australiana feel.

Philter was founded in March by ex-sales and marketing team member for Lion and Beam Suntory, Stefan Constantoula, along with friend and fellow Marrickville local Mick Neil.

The brewery is helmed by Sam Füss, known in the industry as one of Australia’s first female brewers.

For the brewery's first product, Philter XPA, Füss has used vibrant international hops and left the beer purposely unfiltered.

Füss describes it as “naturally cloudy and easy drinking beer that meets you with tropical fruit aromas, delivers a distinctly refreshing hop flavour, and leaves a balanced finish."

The first batch of Philter XPA is now sold in select Sydney stockists and venues, with more continually added to the list.
