Combing a cool lager fermentation, and a mixture of striking aromatic hops from Germany, NZ and the Czech Republic. Fervour is tropical, citrus tinged and smashable.

JUICEBOX JUNIOR // 4.5%

Juicebox - the Junior edition!
Hazy goodness and big tropical hops in this sessionable IPA.

In 2022, we released our own gluten free version of our flagship beer, Punk IPA. This light, golden classic has been subverted with new world hops to create an explosion of flavour. Bursts of caramel and tropical fruit with an all-out riot of grapefruit, pineapple and lychee, precede a spiky bitter finish. When it comes to brewing gluten free beer, we start the process in the normal way, using malted barley to make our wort (a sugary-sweet liquid that forms the fermentable base of our beer). The removal of gluten comes later in the process through an enzymatic addition. The introduction of this enzyme works its magic by binding all of the gluten in that beer, so when we filter the beer the gluten gets filtered out in the process. There’s no witchcraft involved in the process. As our Head of Quality says, ‘it’s just simple chemistry’.

Hazewired
New Zealand Hazy IPA
7.0% ABV

Following the footsteps of trailblazing older brother Hopwired, Hazewired is a beer set to forge its own path. Packed with a plethora of the best NZ Hops, we’ve borrowed Nelson Sauvin and Motueka from Hopwired. An injection of ultra-modern varieties Nectaron and Superdelic makes for one big, juicy Hazy IPA, loaded with notes of tropical mango, candied pineapple and passionfruit. An ode to the past, forged in the present.

Pale golden colour with a foamy white head. Light biscuity malt notes carry the hops. A mix of American Citra and NZ Cascade hops give the beer a bright and vibrant citrus burst. Crisp and drinkable. Lower in alcohol than most IPAs.

THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

From 1917 to 1952, New Plymouth Prison was mainly used to detain apparent 'deviants’ convicted of homosexual offences. Fortunately those archaic days of discrimination have long since passed, but by acknowledging our history we can look forward with a sense of pride and inclusiveness alongside our local rainbow community. This bright IPA bursts with colourful hop character as a nod to our LGBTQI+ whanau.

Here at Sunshine Brewery we’ve reached an incredible milestone –  3000 brews!!!!  To celebrate we’ve brewed a giant, hoppy beverage perfect to share with your mates and cleverly called it “Brew 3000”.

The 3 made us immediately think triple, so we brewed a Westie-styled IIIPA.  A simple and clean malt bill provides the backdrop to showcase a trio of American hops, Mosaic Cryo, Amarillo and Idaho 7.  A big beer for a big occasion. Enjoy cold, enjoy fresh, enjoy responsibly.

Superbia presents itself as an extremely hoppy and fresh beer. It shows its proud taste but hastily. Do not store and drink quickly

7% ABV

This IPA brewed in a West Coast style highlighting the distinctively fresh tropical and passionfruit notes from the Nectaron & Nelson Sauvin hops. The fresh hops will be supplied by one of our local hop farmers, Mac Hops, and this IPA is just bursting with flavour that will linger and leave you taste buds singing for more.

5.9% ABV.

From NZ's first dedicated non-alcoholic craft brewery, State of Play, comes a Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale. Double the hops.  Double the brewtiful beery bitterness. Nectaron is a new hop from NZ Hops that has the complete Kiwi signature - it is very fresh, fruity and fun (and yum).  A lot of Nectaron is added as a 'Dry Hop'.  This is at the very end of the brewing process.  Hops added at the very end of brewing will give you the upfront aroma and flavour.

Using a special yeast, this beer is naturally brewed, retaining all the flavour while only producing a tiny amount of alcohol - in this UNFILTERED PALE ALE it is only 0.3% ABV.
