This beer is a love letter to Blackball, a firebrand of a town with fiercely convivial charm. We first visited out of curiosity & left utterly smitten. By the time we landed, miner Patrick “Wild Bill” Hickey had already refused to leave his pork pie after a measly 15-minute break on a 10-hour work stretch. It was 1908, & his act triggered an 11-week miner’s strike eventually sparking NZ’S Labour movement & solidifying Blackball as a magnet for broadminded folk who eat politicos for breakfast, & mine their own good luck. On our second visit, we stayed at Formerly the Blackball Hilton, drank dark lager, laughed with locals & watched a reveller get ferried home in a wheelbarrow. Pure gold. We’ve been back since & will go again because Coasters in Blackball have wit & more true grit than any lump from a mine.

capsicum, cantaloupe & white peach on the palate touched with soft malt sweetness. Balanced bitterness

Reissued. Welcome back to the third jam session in our ongoing series, featuring a trio of wicked berries. This session started with a creamy kettle-soured base that's been fermented really clean. Then we kept hitting it layers of hand-selected fruits until we reached the pitch perfect harmony of tart, sweet, creamy and refreshing. Stor chilled for the freshest performance.

Tui East India Pale Ale is a light, crisp, and delicately malted beer. After opening the screw cap and nursing your torn finger you should notice a distinct aroma of the Mangatainoka River. No? Rest the bottle neck gently under your nostril and give it another sniff, you’ll get it.

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!

5.0% - NZ04 Pilsner

Good game. Crisp golden NZ pils, crafted to showcase the new Hāpi Research trial hop variety NZ04. Canterbury barley with a light touch of toffee malt bring fresh baked baguette sweetness, balanced with clean bitterness, upfront grapefruit citrus and tropical passionfruit notes. Too ez.

Red IPA - fresh, fruity, gooseberry and citrus hop characteristics with a gentle red malt flavour to balance.

A rascal lives in us all, sometimes big, sometimes dormant, never extinct.  Our playful nature is something close to the core and too often forgotten.  Go on, make a snowman, give it some devil horns, kick it over and make a snow angel!!

6.3% ALC./VOL.

This beer is made in the traditional Belgian way i.e. a grist of 40% raw wheat and 60% malted barley, a turbid mash, aged hops, a long boil, spontaneously fermented (the wort is cooled overnight in an open tray allowing wild yeast and bacteria to inoculate it), aged in oak barrels for at least 1 year and then refermented on apricots for 2mths before conditioning. The whole process takes about 2 years.
Karamu Apricots is ready to drink after about four months of conditioning. However, although it continues to evolve, it remains great drinking for many years.

“From deep in the coal mines of Northern England comes a real dark horse. This Porter has been down in the pit, drawing up cartloads of dark roasty malt character and genuine English hop tones. Fuelled by dark crystal and biscuity brown malt, with a steady hand of East Kent Golding hops, this one just keeps on grafting. Quietly hauling rich, roasty flavour from first sip to last.”

Inspired by the thigh-burners, loose rock and views that’ll throw you off your line at Bike Glendhu. Monsoon Hoon is a beer built for fast laps, loose corners, and the inevitable post-ride yarn. A clean and lean malt base lets the Freestyle hops Manilita, Peacharine and Southern Cross do the dirty work. Red grapefruit, white peach and lemon up front, finished with a snappy bitterness that keeps it tight.  

But here's the part we're most proud of: 5% of profits from every can sold goes directly toward planting native trees at Bike Glendhu. That's every can, every time. Bike Glendhu has set a target of 30,000 New Zealand natives planted by 2030, and every Monsoon Hoon gets us a little closer.

Good beer. Real impact. Genuinely easy to justify a second one.

Point it down. Crack it open.

Duck Duck Gose - Grapefruit & Tequila Barrel Aged Gose 5.7%

Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck... you're it. We took our salty, tart gose and locked it away in tequila-soaked European oak for four months, letting it soak up some briny, earthy attitude. What comes out the other end is puckering and playful in equal measure: sea salt minerality, zingy bright grapefruit, and just enough barrel character to keep you guessing who's the goose.

• Rhys’ Pieces - Chocolate & Peanut Imperial Stout 10%

  The mysterious mountain man of the wilderness surrounding Canyon. Some say Rhys is just a myth, dreamt up to scare kids into behaving. But when he does appear from the trees, he never comes empty-handed. From the depths of his magic Carhartt overalls pockets, he pulls little bites of joy, packed with decadent peanut goodness to warm the soul. This beast pours motor oil black, with a rich malt base, notes of peanut, and a whisper of burnt caramel. 

This ale is the result of refermenting barrel aged spontaneously fermented ale on Pinot Gris pomace. It sits between the worlds of beer and wine displaying notes of grain, hops and Pinot Gris. It is remarkably light and refreshing considering the ABV
