James Squire has released Stride, a flavourful low carb pale ale, with only 3.6 grams of carb per bottle, made from 100 per cent grain ingredients and Australian Pale and Munich malts. 

Stride is made from 100 per cent grain ingredients, created using only Australian Pale and Munich Malts with wheat. Tangerine and tropical stone fruit notes form the aroma and top notes while Mosaic and Galaxy hops give hints of passionfruit and citrus.

Lion Australia brand director - premium Albertus Lombard, said entering the low carb beer space was an exciting opportunity for James Squire.

“Stride has been carefully crafted by our brewers to deliver a low carb pale ale that has all the flavour of a pale ale that you’d expect from James Squire. We know that there's limited low-carb beer options on the market in Australia, and with James Squire’s innovation credentials, it was a no brainer for us to launch into this space. James Squire Stride gives beer drinkers the option to drink a low carb beer that packs a punch in flavour that craft beers are known for, without compromising on quality and taste,” said Lombard.

The James Squire Stride beer joins the James Squire portfolio including 150 Lashes, Broken Shackles, Ginger Beer and Zero.

James Squire Stride has an ABV of 4.2 per cent and is available to purchase in 330ml bottles in leading liquor stores across Australia and within James Squire brewhouses, RRP starts from AUD$54.99 per case and AUD$20.99 per six pack.
