Greyhound  |  Low Carb Hazy
12 Pack 330mL Cans

4.3% alc./vol.

When the cliché was coined that dogs are humanity’s best friends, it was a Greyhound they had in mind. Whether your plans involve a run or a rest, a greyhound is up for joining in. We’ve dedicated our low carb hazy pale ale to them, and kept it fittingly lean and easy-going, with sparkling citrus hop characters, good balance, and a crisp finish.

Raptor  |  APA
6 Pack 330mL Cans

5.7 ABV - alc./vol.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it’s a throwback to the relatively recent past.

A golden, gluten-free ale made with sorghum, rice, and New Zealand Goldings hops, Auro Gluten-Free Ale is clean, very clear, light and refreshing, with full malty flavour and body.

Brewer's Notes

We really care about our beer and making the best quality beer possible. Auro Gluten-Free Ale is no exception and is made under HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). It has 4 stages where we check for the absence of gluten in the beer - in the kettle, in the fermenter, post filtration, and in package. We use an industry accepted method for testing for the presence of gluten (gliadin and hordein proteins) which has an incredibly low threshold of detection of 1PPM (which is well below the accepted minimum detection level of 3PPM). Food Standards Austalia New Zealand specifies that a product may only be called Gluten-Free if there is no gluten detected and considers a result of less than 3PPM as suitable for calling "Gluten-Free". We test ourselves at a far more stringent level of testing than is applied in the US, EU, UK, Australia or New Zealand. We are confident that we are achieving this result and would not release the beer if it tested otherwise. We produce other products which do contain gluten and have a very rigorous cleaning schedule which we follow prior to making our gluten-free beer. Breweries are typically kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, but there are problem points which we have identified on our brewhouse where proteins can build up as staining or deposits. To address this we perform a second level of cleaning beyond our usual caustic-based standard cleaning procedures with an intensive renovation cleaning procedure prior to making Auro. To do this we strip off key fittings from the brewhouse and manually clean the problem areas and visually inspect all surfaces to make sure they are not stained with deposits, and then use a hot-acid detergent wash of all the food contact surfaces in our kettle, heat exchanger, and transfer hose.

Black Ruby Imperial Stout is an English-Style Imperial Stout characterized by layers of dark malt complexity fused with People’s Don Wilfredo coffee beans, Wellington Chocolate Factory Dominican cacao nibs, and raspberries.

Fresh hop 2025

Waipara is a world-class wine region just down the road, where both of our brewers previously worked as winemakers. It also translates to murky or muddy water which is a pretty apt name for a New England IPA.

After a long period of trialing hop combinations, we’ve finally settled on our favourite match. This brew is hopped with Citra, Taiheke and Nectaron, which we believe bring all the sweet citrus and tropical fruit character we love in hazy beers, whilst still finishing clean and crisp.

Pacific Punch West Coast IPA- 440ml can- 6.3% abv

A clean, dry malt base built on Gladfield Pilsner sets the stage for the hops to shine. Generous additions of Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin deliver bold, fruit-forward hop character, layered with hints of pine and a touch of dank resin. The finish is crisp and assertively bitter, true to the West Coast style.

bb 13/8/26

It seemed apt to name our Pilsner after the home of Pilsner beer; the Czech Republic.

However, this is a very kiwi take on the Czech classic, due to unconventional dry-hopping. The Saaz and Wakatu dominated hop blend creates a floral Pilsner with a crisp, refreshing palate.

COFFEE STOUT

6% ABV 330ml

Blackbeard Coffee Stout is a result of a long term relationship with our friends and neighbours from Little Drum Coffee. We used huge amounts of carefully hand selected Brazilian single origin coffee beans, along with dark speciality malts. To deliver espresso flavours and aromas with hints of bitter dark chocolate and toffee with medium but rich complex body.

A perfect beer to enjoy not only on colder winter nights but all year around, for all of the coffee and dark beer lovers out there!

Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson’s first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints. The aroma is toasty, with a hint of sweetness and some earthy hop notes. Firm-bodied but not heavy, with a creamy texture, the dryish palate is full of roasted malt, coffeeish notes and a sustained bitterness.

PALE ALE

2.5% ABV 330ml

Made for the heros of summer, the sober drivers we wanted to give these boys and girls the full flavour and full bodied ale experience they deserve, but with only a wee bit of alcohol. So this hop forward treat is for you guys. Cheers!
