Thanks to the Melbourne Royal AIBA team for recognising Altitude Brewing as 'Champion Small International Brewery' in the 2026 AIBA awards 🏆

Alongside trophies for 'Best Modern Pale Ale' - Foggy Goggles and 'Best Pilsner' - Powder Day, it really was a night to remember for the Altitude team in Melbourne 🇦🇺

We can confirm that the trophies are safely back home and on display in the taproom.

Thanks again for all your support - to all our customers, friends and family, we couldn't have done it without you 💚

Cheers to The Crafty Pint for the mention (and going with this powerful photo of Rob) following the Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards last week 🏆

"[Altitude Brewing] will be heading home with Champion Small International Brewery for the second year running as well as Best Pilsner and Best Modern Pale Ale."

Since first publishing the article below, we've issued this week's podcast. It features a discussion of the awards recorded in the canteen next to the main hall straight after the last trophy was handed out – plus a discussion with the very chuffed, just-crowned Best New Exhibitor winners from Fro...

NEW: Time And A Half 🐊
West Coast Pilsner | 5.9%
Altitude Brewing x DEYA Brewing Company

We met Theo, the founder, from DEYA in the UK last year at the 2025 harvest, and this year, Gareth, the head brewer was over to hang out amongst the bines.

One of the UK's best, these guys make beautiful beer and are all round good humans - it was our pleasure to host them for a collab.

We have brewed a West Coast pilsner with a cool point of difference.

The first ever pelletised harvest of Garston Hops Riwaka. This unique twist adds a sexy tangy depth to aromas of passion, tangerine and old-fashioned lemonade.

This is complimented by a crisp, tight and lean base and balanced with an assertive, refreshing bitterness.

Available now on tap and in can 🍻
