Deep, dark toasty and vibrant caramel malts dominate this cascadian beauty. Displaying a lingering bitterness with hints of coffee and a creamy tan head, finishing with distinctive Northwest American hops.

Life is the journey - when a hill presents itself, take the time to stop at the top and look at how far you have come and enjoy this beer. Cheers!

THUNDERBIRD  |  BRIGHT IPA
6 PACK 330ML CANS

5.8 ABV - alc./vol.

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the Thunderbird’s intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to modern hop varieties from North America, where these tales were first told.

We’ve dialled down the ABV on our OG Pale Ale. Same hoppy brew, but more session-able than before.

A New Zealand take on an American style Pale Ale, combining big citrus & tropical hop character, medium bitterness and a light yet present malt bill.  Refreshing & crushable!

Ingredients; water, malted barley, hops, yeast

COFFEE STOUT

6% ABV 330ml

Blackbeard Coffee Stout is a result of a long term relationship with our friends and neighbours from Little Drum Coffee. We used huge amounts of carefully hand selected Brazilian single origin coffee beans, along with dark speciality malts. To deliver espresso flavours and aromas with hints of bitter dark chocolate and toffee with medium but rich complex body.

A perfect beer to enjoy not only on colder winter nights but all year around, for all of the coffee and dark beer lovers out there!

Low Carb Hazy IPA

4.2%

Like surfing the high line of a wave this Low Carb Hazy Pale Ale Beer won’t disappoint.

Savour the tropical and citrus combo as it takes your pallet on a ride. Experience the best of both worlds with its hazy golden hue and refreshing mouthful whilst keeping the carb count in check. 

Let Highline quench your thirst and ride the waves together.

PALE ALE

2.5% ABV 330ml

Made for the heros of summer, the sober drivers we wanted to give these boys and girls the full flavour and full bodied ale experience they deserve, but with only a wee bit of alcohol. So this hop forward treat is for you guys. Cheers!

Cabbages & Kings Stout 12%

The Walrus did beseech. Cabbages & Kings, Imperial Oyster Stout, brewed with the more or less willing assistance of ten dozen fresh Te Matua Bay Pacific oysters, Horopito and Manuka smoked malt. Dark, certainly - and rich with just a suggestion of brine, a touch of smoke and a hint of native New Zealand pepper leaf.

Taieri George is named after the most important Emerson of all ? Richard?s Dad. Not only was he a founding member of the Taieri Gorge Railway, he was also the brewery?s original Chief Beer Taster. He particularly enjoyed this drop, brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg and Otago clover honey. In his memory, we release this brew on his birthday. Here?s to you, George.

He fell in with the Communists, seeing the revolution through and founding the “together in harmony” movement, better known by the name Gung Ho! For this version of our beloved Gung Ho! we’ve used the finest and freshest ‘wet hops’ from our sunny valleys in Tasman - picked fresh off the bine and carted straight to the brew kettle in 24 hours.

"Terrible Lizards IPA, much like Jurassic Park, is a spectacle of special effects and big flavour. Bold grapefruit and sweet fruit notes, the hop blend of Mosaic and Cascade offers something you can really sink your teeth into."

It seemed apt to name our Pilsner after the home of Pilsner beer; the Czech Republic.

However, this is a very kiwi take on the Czech classic, due to unconventional dry-hopping. The Saaz and Wakatu dominated hop blend creates a floral Pilsner with a crisp, refreshing palate.

When you own a brewery you might as well name a beer after yourself, and you better make it a big American hopped Double IPA. The Big George is hopped with Citra and Ekanot, giving it a mighty pineapple and citrus tropical hit.
