When theatres close their doors they keep an electric light illuminated on the stage, to keep the resident ghosts happy. With lockdown, Ghost Lights have been burning bright on stages around the world. Good for the ghosts, not so for those in the Arts. Brewed with extra light malt, oats and a blend of Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops, creating a brilliant white gold brew, with a distinctly spectral haze. Just what’s needed to raise spirits.

Intensely rich with a velvety texture, our Double Cream Milk Stout contains a non-fermentable lactose sugar derived from 100% pure NZ milk.

A New Zealand interpretation of an Old English classic.  

Obsidian-black with a velvety, tan head, our Milk Stout is traditionally brewed with non-fermentable lactose sugar for a luscious, full-bodied mouthfeel. Aromas of bittersweet chocolate, dried fruits, and bold coffee-and-cream flavours all descend on the senses, while soft roasted-malt bitterness keeps the sweetness in check.  Welcome to the dark side of craft beer. The best stout in the world.

Each Urbanaut beer is designed to celebrate the city that inspired its creation.  Whether you know the destination well, or yearn to explore it someday, this beer embodies the culture, the people, and the atmosphere.

Bone-dry and spritzy, this hugely aromatic Brut IPA will make you want to dust off the white tuxedo, bust out the hairspray and hit the dance floor... Its carnival in a can!

generously hopped Pilsner takes the Bohemian style of aromatic lager and reforms it with a generous dose of Nelson grown hops. Citrus, spice and tropical fruit float over a sweet malt base before a firm bitter finale. A revelation of Kiwi ingenuity

5% ABV.

Biscuity pilsner malt and distinctive Motueka and Riwaka hops bringing aromas of lemon and lime. Nelson Sauvin for a tart gooseberry hit. Straw coloured appearance, brilliantly clear, with a long lasting white head. Crisp and bitter. Medium dry finish.

4.8% ABV. 

Oud Bruin, the traditional brown ale of Flemish Belgium, here painstakingly recreated and lovingly tended by Dave Bell, our Wild Workshop brewer.  Prolonged ageing in wood with a blend of yeasts and Lactobacillus creates a beer bursting wit dark sour cherry and dried fruit flavours, topped off with coffee and chocolate notes.  Dark and complex, a little bit like our Dave.  

Ask not for whom the Bell toils, he toils for thee.

Classic Lager Taste. Half the size. Meet 2.3% ABV Northern Light Vienna Lager. Crisp lager profile upfront with cracker-like aroma. It drinks smooth & hits above its weight with a surprisingly full body for such a low ABV beer. Toasty & bready malt palate hints of biscuits to a clean, dry finish with just enough bitterness to keep it refreshing.

Session Lager - 2.6% ABV

'Smuggler Bay' Series - Breadalbane Barrel-aged Blended Sour is an enticing blend of numerous sour beer vintages from our barrel program, the majority being former Marlborough Chardonnay casks. Aromas of grapefruit & dank gooseberry lead to a soft sourness hinting at oak & vanilla. Finish 

6.7% ABV

Pale Ales are known for being aromatic with a balance of a lighter body with some maltiness and mellow bitterness.  Taking the concept from the Hazy IPAs we triple dryhopped our Sippin' on Sunshine to bring out the juiciness while having a lighter body and pleasant crisp finish.  Mosaic and Sultana hops contribute to tropical notes while NZ Southern Cross creates a refreshing lemon flavor!

5.8% ABV.

Caesar said he wanted a tropical India Pale Ale to keep him happy and get the monkey off our back. We jammed this beer full of our favourite USA and Kiwi hops. It bloody worked! A clean and crisp IPA, loaded full of NZ and US hops.

A crisp, bright Saison with a sunny disposition. Brewed with pilsner and rye malts and lightly spiced with White Pepper, Coriander and Meyer Lemon to bring a touch of sunshine, wherever you are.

Original batch brewed for Burger Wellington 2014.

Spiced Saison - 6.5%

On a good day in Wellington you can find us in Newtown, rolling around Riddiford St in pursuit of rad times. This beer has a full, tropical palate with fresh fruit aromas and a crisp juiciness that will keep you refreshed from the bar to the house party.

YELLOWHAMMER

Bright and lively like a parrot, but small and ubiquitous like a sparrow, the Yellowhammer adds a flash of colour and a musical chirp to open spaces all over the country. The way it does a lot with just a little inspires our smooth and refreshing hazy pale ale, streaked with the striking tropical notes of Strata hops.

4.8% ABV.

Like Slacklining styling a sour beer requires superb balance.  Too far in either direction and it's not going to end well.

The tartness of this kettle-soured Gose (that's pronounced "Goes-uh") is balanced by the tropical combo of mango and guava and a dose of sea salt.

Not too sour and not too salty, Slackline Mango and Guava is simply a beautifully refreshing drop!
