New Zealand Craft Beer

Originally brewed for Ben Shrewry?s Attica restaurant - the perfect accompaniment to their backyard BBQ.

Lager - 4.5% ABV

A Bit Mixed Up. Three beers | Two of each | All good. Sawmill Pilsner, India Pale Ale and eXtra Pale Ale.

Cereal Milk. Let's be honest, it's the best bit of breakfast in a bowl.

 Here in this beer we've combined this creamy comfort food with the rich, roast character of the milk stout. Brewed with corn flakes, oats, chocolate wheat and a generous dose of milk sugar, Cereal Milk Stout is rich, smooth and redolent of the sweet remnants of the breakfast bowl. Grab a spoon and dig in. 

4.7% ABV

Three Boys - In this Imperial Version of our famous Oyster Stout, we double the malt, double the hops, and double the additoin of that Sout Sea delicacy - Bluff Oysters.  Let's just say it's no beer for land-lovers and should remain the special preserve of the captain's quarters.

12% ABV.

North End - We took our light, zesty, citrus and herb flavoured Farmhouse Ale Botanicole Grisette and reserved a portion so we could bottle it with Brettanomyces Claussenii; a formerly wild yeast that was originally discovered in the early 20th century.  Dry, fruity, and a just a little bit wild.

5.5% ABV.

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.

9% ABV.

#N/A

Toasty aromas, rich malts, light caramel and chocolate flavours. Dark brown in colour with ruby highlights. Reserved hop presence, just enough bitterness to carry the malt. Residual sweetness, lingering mouthfeel.

6.5% ABV

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.

ABV: 5.2%

 Brewed with the beach in mind. Super Alpha takes its name from a local hop variety, boasting zesty citrus, to wash away the salt water after a hard day at the beach, or (not) mowing the lawns.

5.0% ABV

On the outskirts of Brussels there is a very old tradition of making beer by fermenting it spontaneously with microbes from the air. Rustica is our own take on these Spontaneous beers and was fermented entirely with the cocktail of microbes taken from the Waikanae wind.  Much like a baker making sourdough bread we captured the wild and produced something complex and tasty. Try it like the Belgians do with some ripe pungent cheese and cured sausage.

6% ABV

inspired by the wild iron-rich beaches of the west coast we devised a smooth warming stout that combines oats, caramelised rye, and chocolate wheat malt with our fruity English yeast strain and some lightly zesty Nelson hops. The result is a stout fit to fortify against wild west coast winter storms and the perfect match to a night beside the fire. 

6.0% ABV.

North End's interpretation of a traditional Gose combining mild lactic tartness , coriander spicing and a malt accenting salt character. 

5% ABV.

A nod to trusty milk cans of old, Billycan, our chocolate milk stout, pours black as night with a creamy off-white head.  Expect aromas of roast malts, coffee and cacao laced with vanilla and rum.  The palate has soft, delicate carbonation with deep chocolate, coffee and licorice to rich, balanced bitterness and around, toasty finish.  Filling a billycan was never so good.  Slainte.
