Pirate Life South Coast Crisp Lager Subheading
Dive into the depths of brewing innovation with Pirate Life. Their latest treasure, the South Coast Crisp Lager, emerged not from a dusty map or buried chest, but from sun-soaked memories of drift snorkelling along Australia’s pristine coastline. In this refreshing chat, the crew behind this craft beer revolution reveal how they’ve managed to can the very essence of oceanic zen, turning a dreamy day at the beach into what might just be your new favourite lager.
“We brewed this lager to satisfy a wide variety of beer lovers. Pirate Life release some full-flavoured froths, but this one was built for refreshment – a bevvy modelled on the beers we fell in love with.” Says the team at Pirate Life.
Join us as we navigate through the story of South Coast Crisp, where brewing expertise meets coastal charm, and discover why sometimes the best adventures don’t require a compass. Let’s hear from the Pirates about this refreshing NEW chapter in their ever-evolving world.
Where’s the ideal spot or event to enjoy this brew?
“Anywhere good beers are enjoyed. A BBQ, the beach, the skate-park, your local on a Friday night. It’ll sit comfortably in any setting.”
What sparked the idea for the South Coast Crisp, and how does it capture the essence of Pirate Life’s adventurous spirit?
“We’ve been playing with the idea of brewing an easy drinking lager for a few years now. The initial discussion was centred around drift snorkelling down on the coast, and how a beer could embody the effortless feeling of being carried by the ocean’s current. It’s a romantic concept, but there’s skill and mayhem involved, as well. We fell in love with the idea, and that’s where the South Coast Crisp journey began.”
Take us behind the scenes – Walk us through the brewing process and unique ingredients that give this beer its flavour!
“We’re really proud of this lager. It showcases our evolution as a brand, brewers and (of course) avid beer enthusiasts. It’s made using ingredients we know all too well: quality Aussie Pale Malt, Motueka Hops from our favourite growers, and a super clean lager yeast. Like all of our beers, it’s carefully crafted and cared for every step of the way – from milling grain, to tank, to packaging. The resulting froth is clean and dry with a gentle lick of citrus.”
How does this beer set itself apart from the rest of Pirate Life’s line-up? What gives it that “wow” factor to make it a standout sip?
“South Coast Crisp Lager bears all the hallmarks of a Pirate Life beer – quality, balance, and drinkability. With that in mind, it still offers a unique set of sensory traits. For one, it’s very crisp – which comes from a healthy ferment and bright carbonation. The hop bitterness is on point, gifting just enough lemon lime character to pull it all together. We’ve made some pretty tasty lagers as a crew, this one settles deservedly near the top.”
If this beer could spill one juicy secret about its flavour profile, what tantalising titbit would it reveal to curious drinkers?
“Plain and simple, it tastes like a good old fashioned Aussie lager. We didn’t overcomplicate this recipe. Sure, there’s flourishes of Pirate Life (subtle hoppy aromas, curated water profile), but in reality, it’s just a ripping everyday froth. Crisp, clean, and uncomplicated.”
