THUNDERBIRD  |  BRIGHT IPA

5.8% alc./vol.

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the Thunderbird’s intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to modern hop varieties from North America, where these tales were first told.

Brothers Beer ? Hazesteria Hazy Pale Ale 4.6% 

There was a buzz around town. ?All I know is they used Heidleburg and Lager for malt? said a source close to the Brothers Beer crew. Soon people started gathering around the brewery on Akiraho Street. ?I heard they are doing it keg only? said one young punk. ?Citra? said a bearded beer geek. ?Loads of Citra on the dry hop?

The crowd grew. ?My friend?s friend works with a guy that knows the brewer? said a girl wearing Docs ?and he says they used Mosiac AND Motueka in the boil!?

A chant began: ?Hazy! Hazy! Hazy! HAZY!?

As if answering their call a light came shining out of the brewery.

The crowd stood as one and raised their hands to it.

For when you need to lay low on the island, this tropical hazy is your perfect escape. 

Dive right into juicy stonefruit (nectarine) and citrus (lime) notes alongside delicate florals and a super sessionable finish.

Late hopped with Calypso, H?ll Melon and dry hopped with experiments 09326 and 13459 (USA).

6.5% - Stein Bier

Red Rocks Reserve is one of our most anticipated annual releases. A base red ale is brewed and then with a nod to an ancient brewing technique known as 'Stein Bier', the beer is passed through a giant hop back containing rocks, super heated in a hard Manuka wood fire to over 500c. Finally, the beer is given an additional pass through a hop back stuffed full of whole cone Nelson Sauvin. The end result is a beer with rich juicy jam and toffee sweetness from all those caramelised sugars, layered with distinctive lush hop aroma. An old world brewing technique meets new world hops.

Moveable East Hazy IPA is a hoppy East-coast-style pale ale made with NZ hops. It?s mildly bitter with a biscuity malt base and tropical and citrusy hop aromas.

6% ABV Far Away IPA 

NEW BREW | We blended Australian Eclipse and US Idaho 7 hops here for big clementine and lemon peel aroma and flavour over a moreish soft biscuit malt base and balanced bitterness. Otherworldly, some might say. We just call it bloody good IPA.

The real kicker with collabs is learning new things. For this beer with Cornwell based Verdant Brewing we chose classic Kiwi hops - big additions of Nelson Sauvin, mojito-like Motueka, tropical Moutere and a smooth bitterness from the piney Waimea. 

Then we applied the Verdant-way-of-doing-things including using their renowned yeast - a highly versatile strain with more body than typical IPA yeasts. The best of both worlds in this super juicy Hazy IPA.

Motueka and Nelson Sauvin Hops create the backbone for this Hazy IPA. Notes of fresh citrus peel and gooseberry provide a clean palette for Mango and Lychee to punch through and create a cocktail of summer fruits. Perfect for sipping on a beach somewhere you?d rather be.

ABV 8%

Supersaturated Hazy IPA is loaded up with our favourite NZ and US hops. It showcases complex citrus, tropical and stone fruit notes supported by balanced bitterness.

This beer is can-conditioned, naturally carbonated via a refermentation in the can. The refermentation process also absorbs any residual oxygen ensuring maximum hop freshness. It may take longer and require more work, but that's how we do things at Slow Lane. Prioritising beer flavour over efficiency.
