In collaboration with our friends at Kindeli, we brewed a deeply crunchy rustic Rye Saison on top of a mid-ferment Organic Feijoa Cider. Fermented using a mixed culture including our house wild yeast that we grew from Manuka branches and aged in large format oak over the Spring and summer months. This beer is incredibly unique and quenching bringin gthe best fruity acidity of Feijoa balance matches with the body and creaminess of a classic Brood Fermentation Saison.
Unfined, unfiltered, 20 IBU, 7.4 ABV.

Smokey brown ale fermented in seasoned Pinot noir barrels. Refermented on fresh blackberries and aged for 18 months to further sour. Smoked malts, chocolate, pepper on the nose, with subtle red fruit aromas. Vibrant farmhouse acidity balanced with salinity and finishes with a light cacao on the pallet. A very 'Brood Fermentation' sour brown ale of our dreams. 

Born with a rugged smoothness, this beer stands out like a Grizzly on its hind legs. The lightly burnt malt character that delivers chocolate coffee mocha flavours neatly combines with a bit of grainy, dark malt dryness on the finish. Add to this aging on bourbon barrel wood to further enhance the smoothness and bring faint vanilla aromas, and the rest is magic. So satisfying that it brings a session-ability that is hard to resist. Beware the Grizzly, he may sneak up on you! 6% ABV

The XPA style is designed to showcase hops while Brut styles produce a dry beer with little or no malt character. With Bone Dry Brut XPA we combine both these styles to produce a beer which is lighter in colour than a pale ale and very dry, which allows the hops to shine through. This brew uses Nectaron hops which bring intense tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Bone Dry is an easy drinker, dry and crisp, with a noticeable hop experience, and low in carbohydrates compared to other beer styles. **Highly Commended - New World Beer & Cider Awards 2019 and 2024**

Absolutely Smashing Cider 4.5%

You asked us for a cider, we made a cider, and quite frankly, we've smashed this one out of the park! Our cider is brewed with the juice of the apple gods, nice and dry with a touch of sweet. You should give it a go, we think you'll agree that this cider is absolutely smashing!

This 2023 release from Ardnamurchan combines peated and unpeated spirit matured in ex-bourbon and ex-rum casks. A lovely balance of peat and sweet tropical flavours - mango, spice and subtle vanilla thanks to the American oak

From the distillery...

Ardnamurchan Rum Cask ramps up our earthy, oily house profile with delicate grassy, funky notes. The underlying tropical richness is delightful. We think the distillery character matches beautifully with these Caribbean casks, the first time we've ever released a vatting matured in this cask type..

Taking inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross and the characters emblazoned on it, this release is named for the iconic maritime myth, the Mermaid. Made from unpeated barley and finished in Palo Cortado ex-sherry casks, this is a drier, floral and decidedly coastal expression. A swirling nose of dry seaweed, sea salt gives way to rich apple tart with caramel. The finish is long and with a savoury , coastal undertone.

Something a little unusual from Marlborough. Originally from North-eastern Italy, this tiny parcel was sourced from the Stanley Estate plantings in the Awatere Valley. It shows dark fruit characters, a little Awatere spice and a fresh, lively acidity. It's a slightly more robust red than our usual Pinot Noir and a great match with a big steak over the open grill this winter.

Harvested, crushed and then fermented in small batches in oak cuves to add complexity. The ferments are hand plunged, skin contacted post-fermentation, gently pressed and then aged in a 20/80 blend of new/old French oak barriques for ten months prior to blending and bottling in late summer.

The Gauldrons Campbeltown Malt Scotch Whisky tells the story of the eponymous dark, stormy coves on Campbeltown’s west shores, and literally means “Bay of Storms”. A marriage of the finest Campbeltown Malts, bottled in very small batches at 46.2% ABV, and proudly without colouring or chill-filtration. The Gauldrons is one of Douglas Laing's Remarkable Regional Malts
