Hawkers have always had their sights set on big beer drinkers. Yes, they’ve brewed big beers that are kept in barrels that once housed spirits some of us have never heard of, but with more sessionable affairs, the Melbourne brewers have also long shown that there’s a different beer for everyone, no matter what they drink.
Hawkers' Ultra Low-Carb Lager joined their lineup in 2025 and was built for those seeking a beer that’s a little lighter on the carb count, boasting 6 grams of carbohydrates and 151 calories per can. Crack into the can and you’ll find a soft and slightly bready malt base with a dry, lean, and decently bitter finish. The choice of hop, meanwhile — Ariana out of Germany — brings a classic noble hop hit of herbal spice with a more modern touch of passionfruit and mixed berry.
