Lager

Our premium NZ lager made with all NZ ingredients and a load of pride. Crisp, dry and refreshing with subtle stone fruit and honey aromas, and a light body. This beer is named for the goldrush that started the growth and development of Queenstown and how the early miners spent what little profits they found on drink!

4.4% ABV.

Oktoberfest Lagers are strong, malt accented beers traditionally brewed for drinking in quantity in the German autumn. Down here October means spring and these beers work just as well in the turbulent days as Winter gives way to Summer. Fest is brewed with 100% German malt and hops and has been given a long 90 day cold conditioning . The result is malty, a little toasty, a little warming with a dry crisp finish.

5.9% ABV.

Black BEER - BEER, but darker. 4.8%

Exactly as it sounds. Water, malt, hops, yeast. Still simple, just dark. Brewed with a comforting bounty of Gladfield Pilsner, Munich and Chit malts. Sometimes simple is exactly what you want.

A European-inspired gem! Crisp, clean and refreshing- just as a good lager should be.

4.5% ABV

Bootleg Brewing - 

like your mama used to make (if she was bavarian)

crisp, bright and balanced with a long finish that showcases just how great this style of lager can be.

5.4 ABV.

Our multi-award winning Best Bitter now part of the Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. core range of beers ? try it once and you?ll soon see why it?s sticking around!

This well-known English-style beer has earned it?s stripes as a hoppier, and therefore more bitter counterpart to the typically mild pale ales of its time. It?s notched a few medals along the way, too:

2023: GOLD ? Australian International Beer Awards, Highly Commended ? New World Beer & Cider Awards

2016: Best British Ale ? Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards

Our Best Bitter blends five speciality malts to give the ideal balance of sweetness, providing well rounded toffee and biscuit characteristics. This is in combination with just the right amount of hops to accent the bitterness, and give a fruity, earthy aroma without dominating this malt-driven beer.

Amber in colour, bitter yet smooth in flavour, and malty in finish, the award-winning Best Bitter is one not to miss! Available in 440ml cans and 1.25L riggers ? as well as on tap at all Sprig + Fern Taverns.
