Pilsner

5.0% ? 330ml

Our Pilsner is brewed with soft Waitakere water, German Pilsner malt and Motueka hops, then fermented with a classic Bavarian lager yeast. This Pilsner offers firm bitterness up front, followed by lemon/lime notes from the hops, and leading through to a refreshingly dry finish.

Sunshine Brewing -Brewed for those wanting bigger flavour, Green has found a cult following amongst locals – and for good reason. Dry and crisp like a Gisborne summer, big citrusy hops play against each other in every flavoursome drop.

Our multi-award winning Best Bitter now part of the Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. core range of beers ? try it once and you?ll soon see why it?s sticking around!

This well-known English-style beer has earned it?s stripes as a hoppier, and therefore more bitter counterpart to the typically mild pale ales of its time. It?s notched a few medals along the way, too:

2023: GOLD ? Australian International Beer Awards, Highly Commended ? New World Beer & Cider Awards

2016: Best British Ale ? Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards

Our Best Bitter blends five speciality malts to give the ideal balance of sweetness, providing well rounded toffee and biscuit characteristics. This is in combination with just the right amount of hops to accent the bitterness, and give a fruity, earthy aroma without dominating this malt-driven beer.

Amber in colour, bitter yet smooth in flavour, and malty in finish, the award-winning Best Bitter is one not to miss! Available in 440ml cans and 1.25L riggers ? as well as on tap at all Sprig + Fern Taverns.

Crisp and hoppy New Zealand Pilsner.

"Sick as, bruh" meant something different for New Plymouth's surfers back in the day. It was probably what they were telling their General Practitioner after paddling through the proverbial let go from the town's 'revolutionary' sewerage system installed in 1933. Thankfully, things have been cleaned up since then, allowing for a much more refreshing ocean experience at the surf break known as 'Bogworks', located directly outside our Brewery. A combination of clean, light malts and crisp Riwaka hops make this New Zealand Pilsner the perfect way to cap off a day catching the big ones.

Pinnacle NZ Pilsner

NEW RELEASE

We’ve been on a journey to find the pinnacle of NZ hops, so when we discovered experimental Bract NZH-106, we knew we had to brew the perfect beer for it. This quintessential New Zealand pilsner is fresh, bright, and thirst-quenching, with tropical hops and a bready backbone. It’s all down-hill from here, because this trip starts at the pinnacle. 

This beer has been carefully crafted to keep all the flavour of a bigger beer and wrap it into a sessionable package. A combo of juicy NZ and US hop varieties sit on a full bodied hazy straw coloured base. Aromas of citrus fruits backed up by passionfruit make for a delicious juicy combo that is ideal for anytime drinking.

Our world-famous fresh hop pilsner has doubled down on a duo of Riwaka™ and NZH-106 hops; locally picked, lovingly packed, and back to the brew mere minutes after harvesting.

The combo opens with an exquisite resinous note, balanced by a tropical fruit sweetness, twists of ripe citrus peel, and set amongst the backbone of a crisp, dry, and damn-tasty pilsner. One sip and we think you’ll agree, this is as fresh as the harvest gets!
