A hot rod icon. Stunning in ‘72. The wildest ride many had ever seen as magazine pages on bedroom walls or rumbling round Rotovegas, Cambridge and the ‘Tron.
It survives in ‘25, resuscitated by a couple of highly skilled hot rod history buffs, father and son.

Once the country’s coolest, Road Hog is coming back for its crown more than half a century later. An old-school IPA built with new-school hops. Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes. 

When thunder claps on the slopes and denim cuts through powder, you know Zeus Skis in Jeans. This West Coast IPA is a bold collaboration between Colorado's Westbound & Down and Queenstown's Altitude Brewing - a meeting of mountain minds and hop-forward intent. Expect a clean, dry finish with punchy bitterness and layers of grapefruit, resin, and pine. Brewed with precision and balance, it's a throwback to classic West Coast flavour with modern freshness. No haze. No nonsense. Just a powerful hop character and old-school swagger. For gods who don't follow trends - and definitely don't wear snow pants.

Adventures in beer Vol.3: Breda, Frontaal Brewing. Travelling to the Netherlands to catch up with Dutch rock stars Frontaal brewing is the latest in beer adventures. These guys crank out awesome beers across Europe and the plan for this collab was to lug a big dose of fresh harvested 2025 NZ hops over. Filling the luggage with delicious amplifre Nelson and Riwaka from Clayton hops we have made a big ballsy Hazy IPA with a huge dank NZ character of sticky passionfruit pulp, sweet cannabis and mushy mango smoothie. A soft, creamy and smooth drinkability rounds out the experience.

NEW BREW | Some things can’t be rushed—like tractors on backroads moving sheep. This unfiltered brew cruises in the slow lane, blending experimental Clayton’s Hops (bursting with lemon, grapefruit, and melon) with Nelson Sauvin’s bringing untamed Passionfruit and Sauvignon notes. A hazy, citrus-kissed pale ale with tropical lushness, gliding on velvety malt. No shortcuts—just honest flavour. So relax, the beer’s ready. And those sheep? Well, they’re getting there

Beneath the glassy surface, something stirs. A modern beast of hoppy proportions, Nessie rises from the depths with a crisp, snappy bite and a powerful, resinous grip.

This is no murky myth—Nessie is a West Coast IPA in its purest, most ferocious form. Built on an ultra-clean, low-colour Pilsner malt skeleton, it’s all about the hops. The newly crowned Krush leads the charge, hurling waves of pine needles and sun-ripened berries. Mosaic lurks beneath, adding a dank, fruity growl, while a spectral wisp of Talus in the whirlpool weaves in sub-threshold lactones—ghostly enhancers of hop aroma.

NZ Superdelic oils the gears, letting the yeast unleash a torrent of grapefruit peel, sticky resin, and a bitter finish that clings like a creature from the deep.

Billycan Milk Stout pours black as night with a creamy off-white head, it boasts Tahitian vanilla & cacao nibs. Expect roast malt aroma & a luxuriant palate with delicate carbonation. Coffee & cocoa laced with vanilla & rum lead to soft liquorice notes & a full-bodied, rich, balanced bitterness for a soft, toasty finish.

5.3% - Czech Style Amber Lager

Looks like it’s your lucky day. Lucky Charm, polotmavé pivo, Czech style amber lager. A generous blend of Pilsner, Vienna, Munich and Midnight Wheat, balanced with Saaz and Celeia hops and fermented with a Czech yeast. The result is a superbly smooth lager, with restrained hop notes, soft, rounded malt mouthfeel with hints of caramel and fresh baked bread crust. Works like a charm.

Barrel Aged Imperial Porter

Matured in bourbon barrels this Imperial Porter gives rich flavours of toffee and dark chocolate. A bottle conditioned warming, robust ale.

Unleash a little mischief with Loki Doki – a cunningly crisp West Coast IPA that walks the line between order and chaos.

CHIMERA WEST COAST IPA
6.2%
Wild and untamed like a three-headed beast this mighty West Coast IPA rains down zesty aromatics of lemon, lime, mango, stone fruit and fresh pine from the Citra, Simcoe Cryo and Mosaic Cryo hops which are complemented by a light, clean sweetness from the Golden Promise malt. Hoppy and flavourful with a refined bitterness on the tail end, this beer attacks on all fronts.

BLUEPRINT BRIGHT IPA | BRAVO // 5.5%

This 5.5% Bright IPA delivers sharp hop expression and balance. A clean malt base supports a layered profile of lime, white grape, and ripe nectarine. Bright, drinkable, and dialled in for freshness and clarity.

A refreshing, light malt backbone with a citrus-driven base amplified with bold notes of apricot, pineapple, orange oil and light pine. Clean bitterness and a dry finish.

Richard Emerson loves it when his ears burn. It either means he's being talked about, or he's drinking one of his absolute favourites: a chilli chocolate stout. This luxurious decadent brew is made with cocoa, red chillies, and Belgian yeast, giving it a deliciously complex rich plum, raisin, and chocolate flavour, a smooth velvety texture, and of course a warming spicy finish. Don't worry, while Deaf by Chocolate may make your ears tingle a little, it won't actually make you deaf.

Emerson's - This is more than a beer. It's a monument to the late, great Jean-Pierre Dufour. Food scientist. Biophysicist. Beer legend. Every year on his birthday, we release a Belgian style beer in his honour. This one's a Quadrupel. A strong dark ale fermented using belgian yeast, with cherry, clove, dried fruit flavours and a spicy finish. Sometimes we drink to remember.
