Introducing Latitude Lager: New name, same great taste
This summer, two iconic Australian names are raising a glass to the places we travel that shape us, and the people who bring them to life.
Latitude Lager is a unique, specially crafted beer in partnership between Coopers Brewery and YHA Australia. Built with movement and travel at its core, Latitude Lager is made for those moments after you've checked-in, where anything could happen next. New faces become lifelong mates, and your first sip could be the start of a new adventure.
Coopers brings all the good stuff behind the scenes too. Independent and family-owned since 1862, the brewery, like YHA Australia, takes sustainability seriously with an onsite co-generation plant and systems that capture and recycle up to 35 megalitres of water each year.
Each Latitude Lager design traces a different stretch of Australia, with lines that follow ocean shores, river bends and roadways, guiding you toward whatever’s next.

- 33° South is Sydney: with coral sunset skies meeting deep harbour blues, where the journey begins. Available at the rooftop bar at YHA Sydney Harbour (in-house guests and members only) and Schirrmo's Bar (YHA Sydney Central).
- 27° South is Brisbane: inspired by river-to-beach warmth in golden light and lush green, and made for easy, sun-drenched days. Available at the rooftop bar at YHA Brisbane City (in-house guests only).
- 37° South is Melbourne: embracing laneway soul in lilac and parkland green, stitched together by tram lines and unforgettable late-night plans that become treasured memories. Available at YHA Melbourne Central's bar.
Three latitudes. Three unique journeys worth sharing. One crisp lager, enjoyed in different coordinates, each one as unique as the stories you’ll share.
Available exclusively across YHA’s network, Latitude is brewed for the in-between moments that end up being the ones you remember. The long exhale after a big drive. A coastal sunset. A conversation that shifts from “where are you headed?” to swapping stories like mates.
And this is only the beginning. As the Latitude story grows, so will the map, with more coordinates and more places to crack a drink, from Adelaide to Surfers Paradise to Cairns and beyond.
Wherever you’re going next, Latitude Lager is your reminder that the journey’s already underway.
