The Coastal Brewing Co Town Lager

You can really understand the challenge The Coastal Brewing Co’s founders had when choosing a name for their core range lager. Helen and David Black’s town is called Forster, and they love celebrating their home and its surrounds through the naming of their beers, but Forster Lager could surely get you into a bit of trouble, a rogue "r" notwithstanding.

So instead they opted Town Lager, in honour not only of the town but also its main beach. The beer itself is likely one you’d enjoy after swimming at that beach on hot summer's day: an Australian lager brewed with Pride of Ringwood and Cascade hops to create a clean, crisp and slightly floral beer, one to takes you straight to Forster, whether you’re there or not, and regardless of how many Rs you have in your name.
