Vanessa Whisky & Oak Belgian Ale is dark amber ale fermented with an Belgian abbey ale yeast for great depth of yeast character. We added a flavouring made from soaking hand-selected oak chips in a blend of whisky and spirits. This is a special beer to enjoy at any occasion.

9.5% ABV.

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

Barrel Fermented Spelt Saison 

4.6% Alc by Vol | 750mL bottle 

Spelt Saison brewed into large format neutral French oak barrel on a mixed culture of yeasts. Aged in barrel for 14 months and conditioned in bottle for 6 months before release. A slightly nutty, bready, and crisp malt base with a fresh floral and faintly earthy nose. A touch of bitterness to balance out, and a tart spelt rusticity. This beer is complex, fun, and made to share. 

Perpetual 2024 - Raspberry Barrel Aged Sour [6.3%]
The second iteration of Perpetual, our spontaneously fermented
barrel aged sour beer, finished on raspberries. For this beer, we
selected two barrels of spontaneously fermented (Méthode
Traditionnelle) beer from the 2020 and 2022 seasons. We then let
this blend re-ferment with 400g/L raspberries for a further 10
months before packaging.
Size: 375ml, Bottle Conditioned

Our 2024 vintage of Meli is a barrel fermented pale ale conditioned on local wildflower honey and NZ Cascade & Wai-iti hops. Meli showcases a nice piney, kaffir lime hop aroma matched with rustic barrel character and a floral clean honey finish. Light bodied, dry, and fresh with a light bitter finish.

14.0% - Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine

Delayed gratification can be hard work. Hellbender Barleywine, a beer this big only gets better with age, but holding back ain?t easy. Problem solved, we?ve aged it for you. Five years in bourbon oak barrels have created a beer of astounding complexity and depth. Well worth the wait.

Barrel aged sour with Apricot, Nectarine and Peaches [6.3%]
For this beer, we blended three barrels together to make an amber
mixed ferment sour base. Two barrels were an amber mixed ferment
saison and one barrel was a spontaneously fermented sour ale. To
this blend, we added 450g/L of whole peaches, nectarines, and
apricots. The result is a complex, funky, tart, and fruity beer
with supporting structure from the oak barrels.
Size: 375ml, Bottle Conditioned

14.7% - Barrel Aged Rye Wine

Rye, it's a bastard to brew with, but it's worth it. This imperial strength rye blond, aged for three years in freshly emptied American bourbon barrels, pushes the boundries of what a beer can be. Velvet smooth, with the heat and vanilla-wood depth of a spirit, this brew is intentionally brewed with low carbonation and is best savoured unchilled. Enjoy with caution.
