RODENBACH Alexander is brewed at the RODENBACH brewery in Roeselare, in the province of West Flanders. This mixed fermentation beer consists of two thirds beer that was matured in oak casks for 24 months and one third young beer, and has been subjected to maceration with sour cherries.

This extraordinary beer with its unique, balanced palate, complex finish and subtle fruit and wood notes is undoubtedly one of the best sour ales RODENBACH has ever created. 

It was brewed for the first time in 1986 on the occasion of Alexander Rodenbach’s 200th birthday and is now back by popular demand to the delight of beer lovers here and abroad. Its aftertaste is reminiscent of a Burgundy wine and its freshness makes this beer the perfect aperitif or accompaniment to cheeses or dessert.

LeFort is a complex, dark beer of 10% alc. vol. with a sweet and fruity touch. The pale and roasted, dark barley malts give the beer a perfect balance. The beer is lightly flavored with chocolate and caramel and the top fermentation gives a slight fruitiness. This results in a dark beer with a completely unique taste.

On the European Beer Star (2014), LeFort won a silver medal in the category Belgian Style Strong Ale & a gold medal at the World Beer Awards (2017).

THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

Port Taranaki’s own salty puss - ‘Colin’s’ the cat shot to fame in 2001 when a free feed saw her accidentally stow away on the methanol tanker 'Tomiwaka' - bound for Korea.

The chatty tortoiseshell snoozed her way out of the country and into national headlines, sparking daily updates, TV appearances, and an international rescue mission. Cat food giant ‘Whiskas’ flew her home in style before she was crowned honorary ambassador of New Plymouth.

A true local legend, she lived out her days at the tanker terminal. Our salted Raspberry Gose tips a hat to Colin's the Cat – the original Saline Feline.

You’re holding a can armed with no less than two and a third ripe pears - blitzed into one of our biggest, richest, fruit-driven sour bases yet. We’ve cranked every dial to oblivion: double the lacto, boosted ABV, and an utterly ridiculous fruit loading rate you could practically drown in. Massive fresh pear aromatics detonate on the nose before sliding into a silky, dense, ultra lush orchard-dessert finish.
It’s PEAR MODE X10.
Turned up. Turned stupid. Turned all the way on.
