International Beer Day 2025: Perth Raises a Glass to Fresh Flavours
When August 1 rolls around, International Beer Day isn’t just another circle on the calendar for Perth’s legion of beer lovers. It’s a full-blown celebration—a chance to chase down the best brews, scout out new venues, and maybe even grab a deal or two to keep the fridge topped up long after the last cheer.
This year, the local scene is mixing excitement with innovation. Breweries and bars across Perth aren’t just sticking to what’s familiar. There’s a buzz of experimentation, from old-school lagers made with a modern twist to tart sours and hop-forward IPAs that dare to break tradition.
Where to Sip, Savor, and Explore: Perth’s Must-Visit Beer Venues
Take Bright Tank Brewery for starters. Tucked into the urban landscape, it’s a magnet for anyone hunting unique pours. Their Westside Hazy Pale Ale offers tropical fruit notes that feel just right for summer, while the 'Justa Lager' delivers a crisp finish thanks to its blend of lager and pale ale styles—it’s as adaptable as your mood. Pair that with their wood-fired menu courtesy of Brown Street Grill, and you’ve got a match made for any appetite. As if you needed more temptation, Bright Tank is slashing 20% off four-packs to go. Not a bad way to extend International Beer Day beyond the last shout.
If you’re willing to wander, the Leederville Precinct throws open its doors to a whole different vibe. Options spill out of The Garden, where breezy boho meets a stellar tap list. Over at the Servo Yard Bar, the feel is more casual—think street food, open air, and craft pints that rotate with the seasons. Rooftop hangouts at The Leederville Hotel round it out, setting the scene for sunset views with a cold one in hand. Together, these spots are making Leederville a haven for post-work wind-downs or a full day of bar hopping.
What’s across the board this year? More choices than ever. Sours for the adventurous, sessionable IPAs for hop-heads, even non-alcoholic and full-flavored gluten-free options for those who want in without the aftereffects. Perth’s breweries aren’t blind to changing tastes—more locals want lower-alcohol and low-carb beers, but they’re not willing to sacrifice anything on taste. You’ll spot those options on menus everywhere from city bars to neighborhood pubs.
International Beer Day in Perth is about more than a pint—it’s about celebrating an industry that keeps finding new ways to impress, from the most complex small-batch brew to a simple, satisfying lager. The mix of inventive beers, charismatic venues, and real enthusiasm for all things hops and malt just proves the city’s brewing heartbeat is stronger than ever.
