Explore These Must-Try Imported Beers

Asahi Super Dry

Asahi Super Dry is one of Japan’s most iconic beers—and for good reason. It’s brewed with precision and clean ingredients to deliver a crisp, dry taste that’s incredibly refreshing.

It has a crisp, sharp edge that’s refreshing without being too intense. The dry finish and smooth feel make it a great match for sushi, seafood, or your favourite fried bites.

It’s a great all-rounder and especially popular during summer. Whether you’re at a BBQ or just want something crisp and cold at the end of the day, Asahi Super Dry delivers every time.

Budweiser Beer

Known as the “King of Beers,” Budweiser has been a global favourite for decades. Brewed using a blend of American and European hops; it offers a mild bitterness balanced by light malt sweetness.

It’s an easy-drinking lager with wide appeal. Whether you’re watching the footy or catching up with mates, Budweiser is that reliable, no-fuss beer that hits the spot.

The light golden colour and subtle aroma make it a go-to for casual occasions. It’s one of those beers you’ll always find in a well-stocked fridge.

Carlsberg Elephant

Looking for something a little stronger and bolder? Carlsberg Elephant is your brew. This Danish beer packs a punch with a higher ABV but remains smooth and balanced.

The flavour profile is rich and malty, with subtle fruitiness and a slightly bitter finish. It’s ideal for those who enjoy a more full-bodied lager with depth and character.

Despite its strength, it’s easy to drink and pairs well with hearty meals like burgers, roasts or even spicy food. Carlsberg Elephant is bold but never too much.

Corona Extra Brown

Corona Extra Brown is a lesser-known variant of the popular Mexican brand, but it offers a richer twist on the light and crisp original.

It’s a golden brown beer with smooth malt notes and that signature Corona refreshment. Still great with a lime wedge, but with a bit more depth for those who like something slightly fuller.

Great on its own or paired with grilled seafood, tacos, or fresh salads. This beer brings a bit of summer to any season and is a fun twist for long-time Corona fans.

Coronita

If you enjoy the classic Corona, Coronita gives you all the same goodness in a smaller bottle. It’s the perfect size for parties, BBQs, or quick refreshment on a hot day.

The flavour is crisp, with light malt and subtle citrus. Add a slice of lime for that signature zing and enjoy a beer that’s made for chilling out.

Because of its small size, it’s easy to carry and serve, making it ideal for gatherings where you want variety without the bulk.

Godfather Legendary Strong

Godfather Legendary Strong is a high-strength Indian lager that has been making waves in Australia’s imported beer scene. It’s bold, rich, and crafted for those who enjoy powerful brews.

Expect a strong malt backbone with slight sweetness and a crisp finish. It’s not as hoppy as some craft beers, but the punch it delivers in flavour and alcohol content is undeniable.

This beer pairs well with spicy food, curries, and grilled meats—perfect for fans of Indian cuisine or anyone who wants to try something outside the norm.
