5.0% - NZ04 Pilsner

Good game. Crisp golden NZ pils, crafted to showcase the new Hāpi Research trial hop variety NZ04. Canterbury barley with a light touch of toffee malt bring fresh baked baguette sweetness, balanced with clean bitterness, upfront grapefruit citrus and tropical passionfruit notes. Too ez.

This beer is a love letter to Blackball, a firebrand of a town with fiercely convivial charm. We first visited out of curiosity & left utterly smitten. By the time we landed, miner Patrick “Wild Bill” Hickey had already refused to leave his pork pie after a measly 15-minute break on a 10-hour work stretch. It was 1908, & his act triggered an 11-week miner’s strike eventually sparking NZ’S Labour movement & solidifying Blackball as a magnet for broadminded folk who eat politicos for breakfast, & mine their own good luck. On our second visit, we stayed at Formerly the Blackball Hilton, drank dark lager, laughed with locals & watched a reveller get ferried home in a wheelbarrow. Pure gold. We’ve been back since & will go again because Coasters in Blackball have wit & more true grit than any lump from a mine.

Panhead - In hot rodding a Rad Rod is a chopped, low slung, rough and rusty special, designed for go more than show.  A little like a classic hazy IPA in other words.  There's a killer American hopping regime inside this unfiltered diamond, throwing the juicy orange and fruit salad characters forward without too much bitterness or malty sophistication.

Duck Duck Gose - Grapefruit & Tequila Barrel Aged Gose 5.7%

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck... you're it. We took our salty, tart gose and locked it away in tequila-soaked European oak for four months, letting it soak up some briny, earthy attitude. What comes out the other end is puckering and playful in equal measure: sea salt minerality, zingy bright grapefruit, and just enough barrel character to keep you guessing who's the goose.

Brewed for the 2026 WC IPA challenge this years entry channels our inner wizardry. A bright straw yellow brew that starts innocent enough: crisp malt, a little citrus sparkle, sunshine in a glass. But every pint takes you farther down the road… past the Scarecrow giving life advice, past the Tin Man crying at jukebox songs, and straight to the Emerald City, where someone’s ordering nuggets for the whole table and insisting they’re “totally fine to drive a broom.”
