Of course, you're at The Garden in Russell to smash arguably the best pizza in Southern Hemisphere. It's delicious, and you're in need of a beer that matches the flavour-explosion of the food (without taking up too much room). We are bringing this special beer from the garden and making it...

Weizenbocks are a style of strong German wheat beer that can vary in colour from golden to dark brown depending on the malts used. For our first Weizenbock, we went with a pale version. You can imagine it as a supercharged version of our Hefeweizen. Born Too Late was inspired by the pale Weizenbock brewed by the oldest continually operating brewery in the world and arguably the finest wheat beer producer. It has the banana and clove notes from the yeast, supported by malt sweetness. Hazy in appearance and pouring with a delicious creamy head of foam.

Heritage Range

Gold Medal Ale

The legend begins here. In 1880 Speight’s enters it’s flagship ale into the Melbourne Exhibition. It cleans up, winning 2 gold medals and gets a new name; Gold Medal Ale is born.

Speight’s is the beer of choice after a hard day’s work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight’s Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

Crisp, dry, and unapologetically hoppy, this West Coast Pilsner is a bold showcase of the experimental HBC 1134 hop from Yakima Chiefs. Brewed with a clean blend of Pilsner and a touch of Munich malt for subtle depth, this beer lets the hop shine at every stage - from bittering to dry hopping.

Expect bright citrus, resinous pine and floral notes balanced by a snappy bitterness and ultra-refreshing finish. At 5.4% ABV, it’s crisp, crushable, and packed with West Coast attitude.

One hop. Full throttle. No compromises. Cheers
