Panhead - Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Supercharger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

5.2% ABV.

Panhead - Pours pale gold like dawn on a summers day. It’s also a bit hazy obviously. Citrus and tropical aromas come jumping out of the glass with orange, mango and stonefruit notes all along for the ride. A soft and silking mouthfeel with more of those juicy fruit notes is balanced but a pithy grapefruit zest bitterness and clean refreshing finish.

An easy eski companion, inspired by an iconic ride. Tropical. Juicy. A southern hemisphere sun chaser. Drop the tailgate, catch rays and recline in a wagon built for sha… sharing.

The Trappist Monks know how to turn a beer into a Sacrament.  

As mere mortals, we can learn from the brothers, by putting our local ingredients to work in a Belgian recipe.  This triple highlights organic pilsner and toffee malt and balances Nelson's organic noble hop varieties.  We chose the classic Wallonian Trappist yeast to give full expression to aroma and flavour.

This beer need not be rushed and may be cellared for many years as it will evolve in the bottle.  A warming drink, Good Lord Gold pours with a rocky head and a golden hue.  It is best served in a chalice or red wine glass.  Accompany with mature hard cheese, or sourdough loaves and fishes.  Most importantly, relish a glass with your loved ones on your own special fest days.

PALE ALE

Night Spirit Imperial Stout is a luscious black ale that has been aged more than 10 months in whisky casks that held very special NZ single malt whisky for more than 20 years. The casks have a great story to tell and amazing flavours to contribute to the beer.

Originally these American oak casks held American bourbon from J. T. S. Brown and Sons (now Heaven Hill) and were coopered in the early 1960’s. The resulting beer is deep, dark, and intense in flavour with notes of oak, roasted barley, black malts, vanilla, and whisky.
There were a very limited number of NZ Whiskey Co. barrels, and we can coax the whiskey character out of a barrel and into a beer only once. After that, the barrel may offer oak flavour, but the whiskey character is essentially lost. Each bottle is hand numbered. The 2017 release is sold out. Annual releases are planned for 2018 – 2021 and supply is very limited.

Count yourself fortunate if you are lucky enough to get your hands on some of these bottles. It is a unique experience which can’t be repeated and the beer will age gracefully for years. We expect the sweet spot to be around 3-5 years. Do not serve cold! Treat it like a port or red wine and serve it in an elegant glass.

Paloma New Zealand Barrel-Aged Barleywine is a rich, smooth, nutty, strong ale that has been aged for ten months in French oak wine barrels that previously held New Zealand Whisky Co's Double-Wood Whisky for many years. Like all our beers, it is made with New Zealand-grown malt and hops.

The result is a proper lager, fermented cold & conditioned for several weeks. A hint of biscuit-like malts & a dash of herbal evergreen hop aroma leads to assertive bitterness for one hell of a crisp, refreshing beer.
