Australia

A pale lager mainstream alongside a hop-growing industry whose varieties reshaped modern IPA worldwide.

Australian brewing is historically dominated by pale lager suited to a hot climate, with strong state-level brand identities.

Its larger influence on world brewing is agricultural. Australian hop breeding produced Galaxy, whose extremely high oil content and intense passionfruit character became central to the modern hazy IPA, along with other varieties now used far outside Australia.
