The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500's led to a moral panic. 

Hops were condemned as a 'wicked and pernicious weed', one which would lead to the erosion of social and moral standards. Thank goodness they were right. Here’s hoping that our homage to the original pernicious weed continues this gradual decline. Organic Rakau and whole cone Nelson Sauvin go head to head in this strong, golden, hoppy brew. Bitter, yes. Intensely hoppy, absolutely. 

Too much, never.

IIPA - 8% Alc./Vol 

A very special edition of our ?little death?. Rustic but beguiling blonde farmhouse ale, fermented with brettanomyces and saison yeast, aged for 6 months in oak and finished with a generous dose of Wai-iti hops.
Refreshing and delightfully drinkable, with bright notes of fresh spring grass and gentle floral perfume building to a peak of tart pineapple, hoppy lemon citrus and a hint of vanilla oak.
Allow yourself a little moment of bliss.

Cucumber Dill Pickle Sour

A clean, refreshing sour beer inspired by the burger’s classic companion - the dill pickle. Naturally kettle soured and infused with cucumber, dill, and pickle spice. This quirky refreshing beer would be the perfect playmate for the classic cheese burger, fish burger or any other pickle loving burger offering.

4.3% ABV.

A unique beer, born of a pilgrimage across the USA and Australia to visit some of the world’s most exciting wild and sour breweries. In an act of characteristic openness and generosity, each brewery gifted a sample of their own ‘house culture’, the collection of yeast and bacterial strains responsible for their beer’s unique flavour. From these gifts we produced 11 different barrels, then blended them with a barrel of our own house culture, creating a deliciously complex beer, with a restrained acidity and citrus fruit notes. A true celebration of brewing culture.
