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.

Grapefruit Satellite, Hazy IPA 6%

Grapefruit Satellite is a transcontinental hazy that takes you on a journey out of this world. A smooth and juicy East Coast Hazy meets resinous and pithy West Coast hops. White grapefruit adds a luscious burst of citrus and zest.

6.8% - Amarillo-hopped APA

There are no peaches in this beer. None. So why Angry Peaches? Inspired by a throw-away descriptor by beer blogger Phil Cook, Angry Peaches aims to create an aggressive stone fruit character with absurd amounts of the hard to find American hop Amarillo. Because we love you, we got all the Amarillo we could get our hands on and put it all in this beer. Just for you. Angry is the new nice.

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

The mysterious nature of this beer is that it brings out what we love in New Zealand hops - piney, floral, citrusy notes supported by a medium body and rich but pleasant bitterness. Packed with Waimea, Nelson Savuin, Taiheke, Pacific Jade and Motueka hops this beer is a real beast, Sea Beast!

6.0% ABV.

This mouthwateringly delicious IPA gets its flavor from a heavy helping of citra and mosaic hops. 

Don't worry, no fruit was harmed in the making of this beer.

A West Coaster is usually a no-fuss character, and this IPA has the same laid-back attitude. It’s a modern take on an IPA featuring iconic NZ hops — Rakau, Motueka,
and Nelson Sauvin. A solid bitterness up front eases into a fruit-forward finish with layers of mango, guava, and cool white grape—the kind of laid-back fruitiness you’d expect from a West Coast commune somewhere up the Fox River.

Come, take a trip down the rabbit's hole with us. This brew is filled with visions of hidden forests filled with trippy little fruits infused with Motueka and Citra hops, giving each sip flavors of bright ripe orange, honeydew rind, lemon and lime. Once you've experienced it for yourself, you'll want to take another trip

MAXIMUS XX WCIPA 6.8%

A flash back to 2009, the original Maximus IPA recipe before the good American hops ran out. Loads of mid boil hops for huge hop flavour and excessive bitterness. Then dry hoped to within an inch of your life. A tribute to the good old days when IPAs were bitter and malt was still cool.

Targeting systems upgraded. Armour plating reinforced. Standing on the other flank of our third Pacific Hop instalment is Jaeger - Unleashed. After trading blows through Origins and our Fresh Hop clash, this precision-engineered mech has been completely rebuilt with advanced lupulin weaponry to face down the mutated Kaiju. Running a drier, sharper, and cleaner West Coast profile, this unit is locked, loaded, and ready to strike.

Flavours: A clean, bright base of pilsner malt, wheat malt, and dextrine malt, with a touch of light crystal, keeps the body lean, snappy, and light on its feet. Clean Froth Buddy ale yeast lets the hops fire on all cylinders. Nelson Sauvin and Taiheke are supercharged by a heavy drop of Tropical Fusion Kief, delivering sharp, defined notes of crushed gooseberries, white wine grapes, and zesty grapefruit with a clean, punchy bitterness

The beast has broken its chains. Following the raw power of the Origins first set and the seasonal chaos of the Fresh Hop second drop, Kai Juice - Unleashed arrives as the third evolution of our jungle giant. We have taken our wild, nature-powered hazy and mutated it with high-spec hop tech - packing it with concentrated kief and enriched hops to go head-to-head with its metal rival, Jaeger. It is soft, thick, and fully unleashed.

Flavours: A high-protein grist of pilsner base malt, wheat malt, and flaked oats builds a silky, pillowy body with a rock-solid stable haze. Whitelabs WLP008 yeast cradles a heavy payload of Galaxy, Nectaron, Riwaka Amplifire, and Riwaka Kief. Expect a massive, saturated punch of sweet peach, pineapple, and passionfruit, backed by a heavy wave of dank tropical citrus and fresh-squeezed lime oil.
