The benchmark session beer from Dunedin's iconic Emerson's brewery. Fruity melon and citrus hop aromas and flavours are backed up by toasty malt in a package that's big on flavour while being moderate in alcohol.  A BBQ classic.  A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale style. 

Bookbinder bitter is brewed with a blend of four malts, and a combination of two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Saaz). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown. Bookbinder Bitter has a sweet perfumy malt and hop aroma with soft malty fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing.  The beer's long, gently drying finish will leave you craving more.  

3.7% ABV.

Red IPA - fresh, fruity, gooseberry and citrus hop characteristics with a gentle red malt flavour to balance.

A rascal lives in us all, sometimes big, sometimes dormant, never extinct.  Our playful nature is something close to the core and too often forgotten.  Go on, make a snowman, give it some devil horns, kick it over and make a snow angel!!

Saison Zest is the farmhouse ale made in the French speaking, Wallonian province of Belgium. Traditionally it was a refresher for tired and thirsty farm labourers. 

Saison Zest is a modern interpretation, a stronger full flavoured brew. Orange of hue with a big rocky head, aged for two months in the bottle. We've chosen a simple grain bill that showcases Gladfield's superb malts and added Orange Zest. Paired with floral and citrusy hops, our saison yeast imparts massive character and a dry finish. We believe Zest will refresh and sustain the farm worker or office shirker. Enjoy in moderation, it's stronger than it seems! Unfiltered and unpasteurised in the traditional manner, for full flavour. 

Serve at cellar temperature: 8- 12C in a goblet Organic Pilsner malt, candi sugar and orange zest, Crystal malts, hops, yeast water.

This Naughty Fruity Ale was inspired by a well-known Belgian 'one-of-a-kind' speciality beer.  A sustaining drink, this complex beer will develop over time, with a further ageing in the bottle.  Our interpretation is unfiltered, unpasteurised and bottle conditioned for full flavour.  The grain bill is a balance of organic pilsner and crystal malts.  A subtle combination of hops and 'secret' fruits are combined with the native Flemish yeast strain giving a sweet bouquet and a rewarding strong drink.. Pour gently into a goblet at cellar temperature.  Enjoy in moderation, with a smile and good company.
