Australian Beer Company (ABC) has launched a new mid-strength beer to complement its existing Yenda range.

At 3.5% ABV, Yenda Session is brewed longer for a fuller flavour – and is being launched nationally in 330ml bottles and on tap.

Mid-strengths are now the second-largest segment in beer, and the fastest growing at 16 per cent year on year as more consumers shift to more sessionable beers, according to the company.

Session is made with water from the Snowy Mountains and local barley from farmers in the NSW Riverina region. It contains no additives and preservatives.

The green-and-gold labelled beverage has been chosen as the official beer of the Wallabies.
