Czech out this Bohemian beauty
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

Inside the high-frequency trading floor where grads are paid $250,000
Stockbroking is tough, fund managers face intense competition from index-tracking robots. Still, there's one corner of the market that's living it up, if not quite Wolf of Wall Street-style – high-frequency traders, where finance meets technology. And at its centre is Optiver, the Amsterdam-headquartered market-making and trading firm. Here, graduate salaries head north of $250,000. Then there's the new office, five levels in the centre of Sydney CBD that opened this week and will act as the firm's headquarters in Asia. Sure, Optiver has offices in Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. But the timezone in Sydney is ideal, and the lifestyle is attractive enough to lure the best traders.

Malaysia's best hawker stalls are now found under one roof at a CBD dining precinct
Previous SlideNext Slide Malaysian$ Some of Malaysia's best food comes from hawker stalls, where vendors dedicate themselves to a single dish refined over decades. Kher Chink Pang (PappaRich, NeNe Chicken)'s new venture in Melbourne's QV precinct brings 10 of the country's best hawker stalls to Melbourne, including noodle stall Kedai Koon Kee and pork broth specialists Klang Siong Huat. Some date back to 1945. Khiang Pin kopitiam, run by Pang's grandfather until closing in 2023, has also been revived in Melbourne with Hainanese-style kopi (coffee), where coffee beans are roasted in a claypot with margarine, butter and sugar, but topped with a thick head of salted cream for a modern twist. Hainan butter toast has also been adapted, made from Japanese milk bread filled with a slab of butter and finished with a crackly sweet crust like Japan's pineapple buns. Other stalls are remaining faithful to beloved Malaysian dishes such as bak kut teh, a herbal pork soup. It comes in a claypot with optional add-ons like shallot rice, boiled lettuce and Chinese doughnuts for dipping.
