As the first notes of Mariah Carey's Christmas anthem fill Australian shops, a clear signal emerges: the festive season has officially begun in Perth. Marking this cheerful time, a special collaborative brew has arrived to capture the spirit of the holidays.
A Festive Collaboration Unveiled
Mane Liquor has teamed up with Victorian-based Good Land Brewing Co. to launch a celebratory beer just in time for the summer holidays. The creation, aptly named All I Want for Xmas is IPA, was announced on 28 November 2025, offering a new reason for hazy IPA enthusiasts to celebrate.
This isn't your average beer release. It's a double dry-hopped India Pale Ale designed specifically for the festive period, promising a juicy, tropical experience in every sip.
What's Inside the Tinnie?
Cracking open the generous 440mL can—a size that encourages festive self-indulgence—releases an immediate aroma of pineapple, mango, and peach nectar. The beer pours a pale golden, hazy hue crowned with a white, creamy head, setting the stage for its flavour profile.
The palate is dominated by hop-driven tropical notes, with BRU-1 and Enigma hops taking centre stage. The flavours of peach and mango are particularly prominent, creating a fruit salad-like experience that is both creamy and remarkably light on bitterness.
This combination makes it an ideal companion for rich Christmas desserts, especially the traditional trifle.
Verdict and Availability
While Christmas is traditionally a time for sharing, this limited-edition IPA might just be the perfect gift to keep for yourself. Priced at $15 per tinnie, it's a premium treat for the festive season.
For lovers of hazy, fruit-forward beers, this collaboration between Mane Liquor and Good Land Brewing Co. represents a standout addition to the summer drinks cabinet, perfectly timed for the weeks leading up to Christmas.
