Czech out this Bohemian beauty
Fresh Hop Bohemian Pilsner
Your local paper, whenever you want it.
Eagle Bay Brewing Co
Czech, please.
Eagle Bay Brewing Co has delved back to the origins of pale lager with its latest release, Fresh Hop Bohemian Pilsner.
Pilsner takes its name from the Bohemian city of Plzen (or Pilsen in German) where the world's first pale lager was brewed in 1842.
The South West brewers have sourced floor malted Bohemian Pilsner malt directly from the Czech Republic alongside aromatic Summer Saaz and Victoria hops from Margaret River Hops, delivered to the brewery as whole cones just hours after being picked.
Eagle Bay describes its Bohemian Pilsner as a fresh hop beer with uniquely modern retro twist where 'old world meets new world'.
The result is a bready, biscuity malt flavour followed by apricot, herbal and citrus characters from the local hops.
Czech, or Bohemian-style, pilsners are traditionally crisp like other pilsner-style beers but have a spicy hop character and a nice, rich, complex maltiness. Bohemian-style pilsners usually have a bit more malt sweetness than German-style pils, which helps counter the hop bitterness, making it a more balanced, well-rounded beer.
As you would expect, Fresh Hop Bohemian Pilsner pours a very pale gold you can see straight through.
There's a very light head on it, and those fruity and herbal flavours are immediately evident on the nose.
But from the very first sip, you know you are drinking a proper pils, with that hop bitterness coming to the fore ahead of those malt flavours.
It's a fresh take on a classic.
With a 4.5 per cent ABV, it's very sessionable but also ideal for sharing with like-minded Boho spirits.
$6.99 for a single or $82 for a 16-pack cube

Price shock: Luxe Aussie mansions now start at $2.52m
AustAsia's luxury property sales are booming with the price tag for a bougie home now starting at $2.52m – up 72 per cent from 10 years ago, new data shows. According to Ray White's second Australia's Luxury Report, Sydney remains Australia's most expensive market with buyers needing to find a cool $4m to afford a home with all the trimmings. The Gold Coast ranked second at $2.6m, pushing ahead of Melbourne's $2.49 million entry point. The Sunshine Coast in Queensland also ranked in the top five at $2.4m, followed by Brisbane and Perth, where the average luxury home now costs $2.1m. Meanwhile, the starting point for a bougie home in Adelaide and Canberra has climbed to $1.9m, with Darwin the only capital remaining to offer luxury living under $1m. RELATED Mansion that hosted Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra sells for mega price Telenet CEO pays $12.1m 'record price' for house with no parking Record warehouse seller emerges as $15m buyer of rare penthouse Luxury homes are generally defined by their use of premium materials and exceptional finishes, including finest marble countertops, rare hardwood floors, and custom cabinetry. 'More than just a price point, luxury represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and scarcity within a market,' Ray White senior data analyst Atom Go Tian said. 'It varies dramatically by location; what's considered standard in Sydney might be exceptional elsewhere in Australia. 'From a national perspective, luxury properties in Australia now command prices exceeding $2.52 million, representing a 72 per cent increase from $1.49 million a decade ago.' RELATED: Rose Bay mansion with James Packer link has $90m hopes Mr Go Tian said a staggering $663 million changed hands across just 20 transactions over the past year, revealing not only where Australia's wealthiest choose to live, but also who they are and how their wealth was created. 'Eastern Sydney continues to be the place to be, with the Double Bay-Bellevue Hill and Rose Bay-Vaucluse-Watsons Bay enclaves accounting for more than half of all top transactions,' he said. 'Bellevue Hill alone appears five times on the list, while Vaucluse claims four spots. Beyond Sydney's harbour views, Melbourne's old-money suburbs of Toorak and Brighton each secured positions, while lifestyle destinations like Noosa Heads, Byron Bay, and Portsea also featured prominently.'

Top agent Ashley Bierman of Ray White Double Bay negotiated this off-market sale. The architectural masterpiece commanded an eye-watering $80 million; a figure that towers over even its closest competitor by $30 million. Mr Go Tian said expensive homes are changing hands in new ways. 'Today's ultra-luxury property buyers are primarily self-made business owners, especially those who built digital and tech companies, rather than corporate executives who once dominated this market,' he said. 'The wealth behind these purchases now comes from a much wider range of industries, with online businesses and technology ventures leading the way.'

The report shows the architectural and landscape features of Australia's most expensive homes reveal sophisticated investment priorities, with wellness facilities, sustainable elements, and indoor-outdoor integration now considered essential rather than optional. Properties with comprehensive wellness features command price premiums of 10-25 per cent, reflecting a fundamental shift in what constitutes luxury in today's market.
