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!

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**

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.

CHERIMOYA & SAGE BLENDED SOUR ALE

ABV 6.0%

Occasionally we can get our hands on some of this magical fruit. Grown in Northland, cherimoya - also known as the custard apple - has a soft, sweet aroma and delicious creamy pear like texture. We added them to a mixed-culture saison base for six months then removed the fruit and added fresh sage leaves for a few more months. This was then blended with a barrel-aged Hefeweizen for a truly unique and special brew. Aromas of sage and clove with notes of lemon and fruit-driven funk dominate with a palate both clean and bright over tart lemon zest-laden sourness and a dry finish. With so many layers of complexity, this beer will age well for 4-6 years.

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.

At last, a non-alcoholic craft beer you can rely on as closely as your Wingmate!

Utilising carefully selected malts and yeast, we’ve produced a beer that is no more than 0.5% per can – while still delivering on flavour.

Wingmate is our non-alcoholic hazy IPA and delivers everything you love about craft beer, with none of the alcohol. Our brewers have cracked the recipe to creft a truly smashable drop, with a pleasant hoppy aromatic from the combination of Idaho 7 and Nectaron hops used within.

It’s aromatic and full-flavoured, hazy and delicious, but entirely non-alcoholic. You can always rely on your Wingmate.
