The Denmark tinnie that's as fresh as the ocean
Southern Ocean IPA
Ocean Beach Brewing
Denmark is hands down one of the most beautiful places within a day's drive of Perth.

Turns out, they make some pretty good beer down that way too.
Ocean Beach Brewing's Southern Ocean IPA is one that's making a name for itself after winning a silver medal at the Perth Royal Beer awards for 2025.
On the nose you'll get a light amount of citrus and tropical flavours with some toasted malty notes.
The tinnie pours a golden hue with a medium haziness and a white, frothy head.
The palate is light and refreshing, like a summer beer should be — but at the same time it manages to pack in enough bitterness (IBU 50) and alcohol (6.2 per cent ABV) to give it some real guts.
The hop profile is derived from a combination of US-produced strata hops and the locally-grown Beedelup hops — from fellow locals Great Southern Hops.
It's a cracker of a tinnie that can be enjoyed in both cold weather and warm weather, and it feels like the brewers have managed to combine the best of both worlds from the beautiful Great Southern region.
Enjoy it with mates, whether you're on the beach in the summer or in front of a campfire on a cold winter night. The choice is yours.
$27 for a four-pack.
