The latest release in our ongoing serious of foraged flower ferments. For this brew, freshly harvested whole bines were plunged into a light golden base wort, creating a spontaneous fermentation using only the yeast present on the hops. The beer was then allowed to age and develop for a year in oak barrels, before being infused with another dose of wet hops flown in straight from the harvest. The result of this brewery outing is a complex yet clean citrus-like sour, bursting with delightful fresh hop aroma.

Beer and ballet - an unusual Pas de Deux. Brewed by Garage Project for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, Hops on Pointe teases the boundaries between high and low culture.

Brewed with premium German Pilsner malts, aromatic Nelson Sauvin hops and finished with a champagne yeast, the result is a pale gold lager with a crisp, clean palate, rich tropical fruit aromas and tight champagne bubbles.

2 cans each of Beer, Chipper and Liquid Refreshment

Mon P?tit Chou - a term of endearment in French. 

Translated literally it means ?my little cabbage?. Made from 100% Belgian malt and French grown Strisselspalt hops, this farmhouse style ale has a fresh sherbet aroma, and a refreshing dry, tart, palate with just a hint of orange. 

There are no cabbages in the beer, but there is a lot of love. 

A la tienne!

Our Wild Workshop house sour, a pristine blank canvas that invites creative possibilities. Fermented with Lactobacillus and our favourite saison blend, then conditioned in an oak foeder. Muse is a complex but refreshingly drinkable sour with a soft acidity and citrus aroma. Beautiful as it is in its ‘natural state’, or as the base for exploring syrup and flavour infusions. Bottled inspiration.

7.8% - Black Rye & Pine Kveik IPA

Fill your drinking horn. Old Gods, black rye IPA, brewed with malted and crystal rye, fermented with Norwegian Voss Kveik yeast, hopped with Simcoe, Cascade, Citra and Chinook, and finished with a libation of pine terpene. Obsidian black, with bold bitterness, rye spice with a clean hop hit of citrus and pine resin. Skål!

East Coast anthem IPA - A big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing an intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than its bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good.

Explicit Haze Warning: If cloudy beer offends you please drink from the can or close your eyes.

6.2% ABV

The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500's led to a moral panic. 

Hops were condemned as a 'wicked and pernicious weed', one which would lead to the erosion of social and moral standards. Thank goodness they were right. Here’s hoping that our homage to the original pernicious weed continues this gradual decline. Organic Rakau and whole cone Nelson Sauvin go head to head in this strong, golden, hoppy brew. Bitter, yes. Intensely hoppy, absolutely. 

Too much, never.
