Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Balter started brewing in Currumbin on the Gold Coast in March 2016, set up by a group of eight founders that includes the professional surfers Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Bede Durbidge and Josh Kerr. The name comes from a verb for dancing without skill but with enjoyment. A taproom sits directly alongside the brewhouse, and the reputation rests on a hop-forward core range headed by the XPA, which has placed in the GABS Hottest 100 every year since 2016.

Notably less crisp than typical.

Across 10 beers in 3 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
