Check Out: James Squire The Swindler Summer Ale

Australian craft beer is a thriving industry, and it welcomes its newest addition to the summer ale family, The Swindler. From the brains behind James Squire, the ale is set to excite Aussie craft drinkers with a new flavour for this season, contributing to the summer ale sector that already makes up 3.1% of craft volume in the country.

Malt Shovel Brewery head brewer Chris Sheehan describes the beer as a "firm malt body with a cunning blend of Calypso and El Dorado hops" (a rare variety of hops indeed), showcasing a "distinctive aroma with notes of pear and watermelon". Following its exclusive debut on taps at James Squire Brewhouses around the country, The Swindler will be available at selected bars and venues from 26 Oct. 

Drinkers will also be able to enjoy The Swindler at home, as it'll be added to the Tap King range (the first new craft beer to do so in more than 12 months), available from Dan Murphy's from 26 Oct.
