New Zealand Craft Beer

Low on alcohol but not lacking on flavor.  An inviting aroma of fresh-cut flowers and old-fashioned fruit pie cooling on a still in the summer breeze, before a balanced hit of zesty hops.  

Little Mighty is fresh, delicious and sessionable!

SHAKE IT - CHOCOLATE MILK STOUT
A Chocolate milkshake stout that’s better than money. You’ll feel like a sail-boat
adrift on a sea of rich chocolate and heavenly vanilla. Sway through undercurrents of
dry sherry and dark fruits and shoot at the moon singing -
‘Shake it, Shake it, what’s my line...’

STAR MAN - INDIA PALE ALE
Star Man IPA descends from the sky, to blow your mind in a myriad of bright tropical juiciness and sparkling gusto of orange peel and lush pineapple. An India Pale Ale that will have you riding on a wave of cosmic jive and rock ?n? roll.

That?s pretty far out man.

BIRDSEYE

Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds? eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.

This week we release a very special collaboration with the Yeastie Boys. Last year we took advantage of  Stu from Yeastie Boys being in the country to brew a special old ale utilising both the old British brewing technique of long boiling to gain strength and colour and a strain of wild yeast cultured from a 1977 bottle of Bass Jubilee Ale. We made use of Stu?s jet lag and boiled right through the night turning the wort from pale gold to dark brown via kettle caramelization. The beer was then fermented with our English yeast strain before heading into 500L oak puncheons to referment with the wild yeast for 6 months. The result is malty, fruity, and firmly bitter, with a leathery tangy note from the wild yeast. The beer was brewed to honour the life of my father who passed away last year. While it tastes good now it is designed to be laid down and we have put a 2060 best before date on it.

LEMON, COIANDER  SEED, WHITE PEPPER SAISON

Tantric Haze Hazy IPA was brewed to be as tantalizing and as rich of an experience possible. We knew we needed overwhelming fruity aromas so decided to ensure this had a massive double whirlpool hopping followed by a triple dryhopping starting on the first day of fermentation and continuing throughout until our yeasts had given all they could. 

We wanted a soft and supple bitterness that was enough to balance but gentle and forgiving thus we massaged our water chemistry. We didn't want to overpower the aroma and flavour the hops had to give, thus did not add any hops for the bittering into the boil. 

Lastly we needed a yeast that had the power to biotransform the massive hop quantities into a bold rich juiciness. Any element by itself is not standalone worthy but altogether combine into this sensually hazy IPA that we believe will deliver you an experience of love and enjoyment!

It?s time to level up our Hazy IPA offering. People have been loving the Epic Hazy orange cans so much they have asked us when are we going to do a six pack. Well the answer is, NOW! We have taken the best of all our Hazy IPA recipes over the last 12 months and we have ?cranked up the juice?.

We had already spent two years researching and tasting all the hazy IPA?s so we could come up with the ultimate recipe. We have also now brewed a bunch of different versions using different hop combinations over the last 18 months. We think that all the time and effort that has gone into making stunning Hazy IPA recipes will really show up in this beer. We have used an ?Epic? amount of hops as you would expect from us. We got the biggest, juiciest, stickiest Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops we could find. A blend of T90 and Cryo hops to give the maximum desired aromas and flavours. It?s like drizzling freshly squeezed passionfruit, mango and pineapple juice across your tongue.

A super low bitterness and maximum haze, will keep every Hazy-Head happy with being able to sit down and drink a few from the six pack. Share some with a friend. They will thank you for it.

Based on the historic stouts of London which added Oysters to add to theirperceived nutrition Three Boys annual winter release includes fresh BluffOysters which are added to boil with the hops. Pouring an inky pitch black witha healthy tan head, Oyster Stout is dry, roasty and rich with some dark fruitand the slightest hint of brine. 

At 6.2% ABV it's the ideal winter warmer forthe frosty nights we have been having. 

It's also the perfect accompaniment to afresh bluff oyster or a hearty beef and mushroom pie.

NZ went hard, went early and this far have smashed Covid-19! Behemoth have made this beer in honour of what the whole of Aotearoa has been through! Teaming up with their friends at Harpoon Cold Brew Coffee, they’ve infused cold brew into this massive barleywine. Go hard and go early and pick up the coffee in this early on, or let is age 5-10 years and see how those flavours mellow into a dream over time. Kia Kaha, Aotearoa!

Emerson's - One for the hopheads, Bird Dog is full of intense flavours courtesy of American hops to deliver a smooth, resiny beer. Tropical fruit dominates the flavour with subtle fresh squeezed orange with a hint of pine thrown in. Given the name, the astute drinker will note a gratifying absence of any avian or canine aftertaste.

Inspired by The Fall, this wonderful and frightening capsule of autumnal zest is kurious enough to bring out the hip priest in every slate, prole etc.

Kurious Oranj extricates the best of ingredients for the moment and fires the rest. A testy lineup of Citra & Huel Melon hops is perverted with ale male, sweetcorn, oats and candied orange to procduce the saving grace of any nation.

Eat yourself fitter... and drink the long draught for big priest

Some people say they don't like hazy pale ales. They reckon they look weird, or that the massive fruit flavours are too intense. Some other people say there's no accounting for taste.

Both of these groups of people are wrong. Hazy 'New England style' pale ales are awesome, there IS accounting for taste, and we are watching you. You have been warned.
