Reinventing the OG of DVB Hazy Brews - A lineage of constant improvement and development. Reintroducing: Juicy Two Shoes - 6.2% New England IPA

When we talked as a team about bringing back Juicy Two Shoes, we decided we were keen to keep the same delicious hops, but improve a few tweaks here and there for the process as we have learned over the years. We now have better schedules of Dryhopping, getting more fruity aromas out of it, and improving the body to be more silky smooth and lighter through pilsner malt vs ale malt ratios.

Here's a beer as easy going as your weekend plans. Crisp, clear and refreshing.

4.5% ABV

Cooler than a Catalina Wine Mixer, more fun than doing karate in the garage! We brewed this hazy with seriously underappreciated hops, like the weird step brother no one talks about at the family reunion: Rakau, Moutere and Comet. Notes of stone and tropical fruits, backed by a generous malt base.

6.5% ABV | 440mL

Rogue Wave 330ml 4 Pack Cans

Rising from the depths is a Rogue Wave, our new core-range IPA.  Like our previous IPA, the inspiration comes from tradition, but, we have used Gladfield Supernova in place of Crystal Malt.  The grain bill offers colour and depth without too much sweetness.  A trio of Aussies hops, Galaxy, Eclipse and Vic Secret lay down layers of pine, tangerine, papaya and melon.  A lingering but unoffensive bitterness makes it an easy choice for a session.

ABV: 6%

Pipe Dream Low Carb Pilsner 330ml 6 Pack

Craving a light, refreshing pilsner without the extra carbs? Look no further. This NZ Pilsner brings the bold flavors of New Zealand’s finest hops—Motueka and Riwaka—delivering notes of lychee, passionfruit, jasmine, and a burst of citrus with hints of lemon and lime. Crafted with a generous amount of rice for a crisp, cracker-like finish, this beer has all the flavor, without the guilt. Enjoy a couple more without compromise, perfect for your next session.

Tasting Notes:

• Hops: Motueka & Riwaka
• Aroma: Lychee, passionfruit, jasmine
• Flavor: Citrus, lemon/lime, and a unique New Zealand terroir
• Finish: Crisp and dry, with a light, cracker-like base.

ABV: 4%

NEW RELEASE – Sunrise 08 440ml

Sunrise Series 08 Hazy Pale Ale 5% 440ml

The newest version of our hazy pale ale series is filled to the brim with Citra and Cryo Mosaic hops. Expect waves of citrus fruits and floral undertows. These two hops are the cornerstones of IPA, whether hazy or not. A nostalgic duo, like Bert and Ernie, whose colours seem perfect for the synaesthetic few.

ABV: 5%

Ruru

Hazy Pale Ale

There?s a tall tale to be told about our resident Ruru, who lives in the Wetlands here at the Tantalus/Alibi Estate. He got himself in quite a mess after getting caught up in the deadly seeds of the Parapara tree. In distress, he landed on some diners outside the restaurant before he was rescued and cleaned up. On the morning of this brew day, he could be heard back in good health calling before sunrise. A feisty wee guy, back in his patch. Morepork, morepork.

Vibrant tropical notes of citrus, pineapple, and tangy fruits from Citra, Talus, Idaho 7 and Nectaron on a bed of ale, wheat and oats.

Bavarian

Helles Bier

Slip on your lederhosen and transport your mind to one of the great German beer halls to enjoy this traditional Helles.

We have followed the strict German purity rules of the Reinheitsgebot ? all malt, noble hops, and traditional German lager yeast to give you a taste of Bavaria. The rules don?t stop there ? the German beer-drinking customs stipulate you need to always start your beer with a hearty Prost!, full eye contact, and a bottom glass clink. Best served with Wienerschnitzel, Sauerkraut, and Pork Knuckle.

Fresh baked oven loaves, subtle spice, and garden honey.

APRICOT BRETT, WILD SOUR 5.5%

In the 23/24 summer, a harvest of deliciously juicy apricots arrived from the southern reaches of Cromwell. We aged them with two funk brothers named lactobacillus and brettanomyces and the result is perfectly funky, lightly soured, earthy, fruity, and bright.

It's a wild ride.

 Blossom Blonde Ale 5%

brewed with flowers and honey

Spring has sprung, and ‘tis the hour.
For bees to bumble, flower to flower
Elderflower, lavender, a touch of rose
Chamomile and lemon delight the nose
Lemon and honey, petals of calendula
Make a blonde ale that tastes… um……… oh, forget it.
Blossom is light and delicate, elevated by a subtle bouquet of actual flowers. Enhanced with local Matakana honey and just a hint of lemon, this is a bloomin’ refreshing drop.

Get ready to throw down with our Haymaker IPA! This brew is a heavy hitter, packing a punch of malt biscuit sweetness, balanced by a solid bitterness that?ll keep you on your toes. With aromas of zesty citrus, lemon, fresh pine, and a hint of cut grass, it's like sipping sunshine in a bottle. Pouring golden and crystal clear with a brilliant white foam, this IPA looks as good as it tastes. Bold, refreshing, and unapologetically Good George?because life's too short for ordinary beer.
