QLD Brewer Release No-Carb Beer

The Burleigh Brewing Company of Queensland today (December 10) launched Bighead — Australia’s first no-carbohydrate beer.

“For the past year, our customers have been asking us when we were going to create a low-carb beer and today, we’ve not only delivered, we’ve exceeded everyone’s expectations with a beer that is truly unique,” she said.

Bighead is a full-flavoured, full-strength lager with a smooth clean taste with zero carbohydrates and only 88 calories per bottle. It is named after its place of origin Burleigh Heads, which was originally dubbed Burly Head (meaning big or brawny head) by surveyor James Warner in 1840.
