Merry Monk - Belgian Tripel - 9.1% This Belgian Tripel is a bold, scandalously traditional classic that refuses to play it safe, holding onto its secrets tighter than a blowing robe on a windy Wellington day. This monk isn’t going to reveal everything until you get it into your glass to breathe a bit. Dry, effervescent, and stronger than it tastes, it is a decadent, high-gravity, relaxed adventure. Flavours: A straightforward, 100% European Bestmalz Pilsner malt base is lightened with clear candi sugar to keep the body dry and dangerously drinkable at 9.1% ABV. Fermented with WLP530 Abbey Ale yeast, it delivers a deep, spicy ester profile of cherry, plum and pear, while late additions of bitter dried orange peel bring a bright citrus lift. Mild, delicate Saaz hops linger in the background, providing a soft floral touch and a clean bitterness to balance the sweetness.

Tegridy Hops - West Coast IPA - 6.8% Here at Tegridy Hops, we believe in West Coast IPAs being properly brewed - with tegridy. In a world full of over-complicated, fast-paced nonsense, we have stripped things back to what really matters: honest, hard-working hops and a solid malt backbone. This classic, big, bold West Coast IPA is here to remind you of a simpler time. Whatever you put in your mouth is your business, but if it comes from us, you know we will fill you up down to your belly with tegridy. Flavours: A robust, classic grist of Ale, Munich, wheat, dextrine, and light crystal malts delivers a rich, balancing sweetness to hold up the heavy hop load. Columbus Cryo brings a modern, punchy bite of dank pine, black pepper, and intense citrus, laying a solid foundation for El Dorado’s bright pineapple notes. Dolcita hops finish the job, bringing a fresh-breed wave of ripe peach, orange, and sweet piña colada character over a clean, dry, and assertively bitter finish.
