Sydney-based brewery, Philter Brewing, has released two new products following its recent success at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards – XPA Lite and Philter Pale Ale.

Since launching onto the scene in 2017, Philter has released over 30 beers, won multiple accolades, and distributed its products across Australia. Recently, it received the Champion Medium Australian Brewery trophy, as well as the Best Modern IPA award for its Haze beer, at the Australian International Beer Awards.

Now the brewery is maintaining its streak of innovation, with the release of two new brews.

  • XPA Lite (2.1% ABV): A lighter version of Philter Brewing’s flagship XPA, maintaining the same tropical aroma and refreshing hop flavour.
  • Philter Pale Ale (4.8% ABV): A classic Australian Pale Ale with a caramel colour, balanced bitterness, and a clean malt backbone, made with quality local ingredients.

The company stated these releases demonstrate Philter Brewing's commitment to innovation and quality in the Australian craft beer industry.

Both beers are now available online at www.philterbrewing.com and nationwide through Philter’s distribution network.
