Canard Brewing Co.

Canard Brewing Co. launched in Bali in late November 2022, founded by two brewers. It works from original, often centuries-old recipes and focuses on classic European styles, served at the right temperature and in proper glassware, usually with a food pairing. One of its stated aims is to make beer more approachable for women, a nod to the brewsters who made most of the world's ale in earlier centuries. Its slim cans, with an elegant gold script logo, are sold across Bali and further afield in Indonesia.

• Session IPA, session IPA, 4.7%
