This Belgian inspired Sour Beer is a mix of 12 and 24 month old mixed ferment, oak barrel aged ales rested on raspberries picked from Windermere Berry Farm in Whanganui, and then conditioned in bottle with fresh Brettanomyces Yeast. Store upright in the fridge for at least 24 hours before gently decanting.

Smooth, complex, and beautifully balanced, our Flemish Bruin pours a deep mahogany with ruby highlights, crowned by a wispy, off-white head. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of dark cherries, dates, and a hint of balsamic, intertwined with gentle oak and a complex earthiness. The malt base boasts notes of caramel and toffee, quickly met by a bright, tangy acidity that adds lift and vibrancy. A hint of oak lingers in the background thanks to nearly 24 moths of careful maturation. The finish is dry, slightly tart, and refreshingly clean, leaving you ready for another sip.

Perfect for slow sipping by the fire reading a leather bound dictionary, pairing with rich meats, or matching with aged cheeses

Lakeman (little), known for his meticulous planning, has delved into the research to deliver a cutting-edge malt base and a grand symphony of tropical juiciness, coconut, tangerine, and a hint of sauvignon. Was the criminal mastermind planning a Pina Colada?

5.7 ABV - alc./vol.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it’s a throwback to the relatively recent past.

Pilsner, 5.0%

Crafted, as all good German-like pilsner should be, to be necked in responsibly large quantities while sitting in das Biergarten un bratwurst und sauerkraut. PROST Mein Bruder, trinken wir viel davon verantwortungsvoll! Ya ya ya!

7.7% - Fruited Spontaneous Ferment Ale

Kyle Harrop from legendary Horus Aged Ales, squeezed in this collaboration (and a few rounds of disc golf with Dave) during a flying visit to New Zealand. Specially selected puncheon aged spontaneous beer, infused with organic Sultan, Satsuma and Billington plums picked on Roy Sunde's ‘Orchard’ disc golf course in Oratia. Tart, aromatic, colourful and utterly delightful. It’s an ace.

For years, Richard Emerson has had big plans to brew beers under the name Deafinition Unfortunately, these plans went off the rails. You see, Richard is easily side tracked. And the culprit is, almost always, trains. So, while he is off doing the locomotion, we’re brewing Deafinition beers for him. Chasing Trains is one of Richards favourite styles. A barley wine that’ll warm the palate, with fruity hoppiness, citrus and toffee flavours, and a wine like mouthfeel. Yes, it is a real trainspotters beer.

7.8% - Sunny Belgian Blonde Ale

Take a walk on the sunny side of the street. Brightside Belgian style blonde ale. A deceptively simple blend of Pilsner, candy sugar, Saphir hops and a special yeast strain creates a distinctly complex and deliciously drinkable golden ale with restrained spice, floral notes and a hint of bubblegum. Always look on the bright side.
