Our Hippy Berliner was such a success that we ebbed to consumer demand and brewed a special edition with the addition of cooling cucumber. Bursting with sweet cucumber notes, balanced by lemon peel and tropical fruits. 

On the palate this beer is puckering, but very refreshing, full of cucumber, citrus and balanced by light hopping, finishing very clean. 

Cool as a cucumber, dude.

4.5% ABV

The "I" might be in lower case, but beware - this is a capital beer. 

Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours, iStout is balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold hoppy freshness. 

As with all our beers, this beer is a very modern interpretation of this classic style. 

10% ABV

A trailblazer when first released in 2009, Hopwired was one of the world's first IPAs to be brewed exclusively with New Zealand hops. Today it's as unique as ever, delivering an enticing punchbowl of tropical fruit, citrus and gooseberry flavours balanced by mouth-filling caramel malt sweetness.

7.3% ABV.

Black as jet but easy on the ABV. This sessionable stout tempts you to land with big roasted malt notes but then soars to another level with the citrus kick from Centennial hops

BARLEY WINE

330ml Can

12% ALC./VOL.

This ambrosial barley wine invites you to sip, savour, and sink into a delectable world of dried fruit and luscious malt sweetness. Enriching it with a generous smattering of dried plums, raisins, and dates, we’ve brewed up one seriously indulgent ale. It’s Sticky by name, sticky by nature.

A pale sour beer, aged for up to 2 years in wine barrels and then another year on fresh, local and organic feijoas from Helen and Peter at Quinta Feijoas (just down the road in Omaha) who have supplied the fruit for the last 6 years.

6.7% ABV

A very special "Imperial Gueuze" inspired blend of selected barrels from our library. One third each of spontaneously fermented 8, 6, and 4 year old barrels create a perfect marriage of funk, fruit, acidity and sherry-like aged flavours. We barrel aged our first beer in 2010 since then we have built up maybe the largest barrel programme in the Southern Hemisphere . Here we produce many different sour beers, some traditional, some not. - Soren Erikson - Brewer 

8% ABV

A refreshing, light, hoppy, sour and very fruity tasting beer inspired by traditional Berliner Weisse ales. 

Naturally soured by live cultures and hopped with American and New Zealand hops. Probably the closest thing I have tasted to fruit juice, that didn't contain any fruit at all! 

- It's a Juicy trip, dude.

4.0% ABV.

WHISKY BARREL AGED

IMPERIAL STOUT

330ml Cans

10.5% ALC./VOL.

Don’t let the lower case fool you, iStout is big, bold, and now barrel-aged. We’ve taken our iconic imperial stout and let it rest in whisky barrels, layering in smooth, dried fruit depth and a warm kick. Expect rich waves of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and oak, lifted by a punchy bitterness and bold hop character.
