Beer? Na Beer. What looks like beer, tastes like beer and can be consumed in great volumes with no downside ?(apart from the toilet trips). It?s 0 Pale Ale!! And it?s your future for 10 hour BBQ sessions and road trips. Dry July here we come!

In 2022, we released our own gluten free version of our flagship beer, Punk IPA. This light, golden classic has been subverted with new world hops to create an explosion of flavour. Bursts of caramel and tropical fruit with an all-out riot of grapefruit, pineapple and lychee, precede a spiky bitter finish. When it comes to brewing gluten free beer, we start the process in the normal way, using malted barley to make our wort (a sugary-sweet liquid that forms the fermentable base of our beer). The removal of gluten comes later in the process through an enzymatic addition. The introduction of this enzyme works its magic by binding all of the gluten in that beer, so when we filter the beer the gluten gets filtered out in the process. There?s no witchcraft involved in the process. As our Head of Quality says, ?it?s just simple chemistry?.

Patersbier - Trappist Style Ale
4.0% ABV 

Unlike high-octane Trappist styles like dubbels and tripels, Belgian Single Style Ales have a lower ABV and a lighter body. The sessionable working beer of the monks themselves, Patersbier (meaning “Father’s beer”) is crisp, bready, and enriched by Belgian yeast. Whether you’re getting stuck into an afternoon of Gregorian chants, or mowing your lawn, a Patersbier goes down oh so smoothly. 

Brave Old World is a series of 8 Wired Beers, historic styles brought back to life in modern New Zealand.
This is the seventh beer in this series, a Patersbier, inspired by the Trappist style Single Ales of old.

FINALIST AT THE 2024 WEST COAST IPA CHALLENGE

Much like a game of Tetris ? and Tracy?s tank plan at the Brewery ? the flavours and aromas of our 2024 West Coast IPA Challenge entry certainly slot right in to place. A dank and resinous aroma greets you at the glass, while the palate delivers orange peel, apricot and tropical fruits, followed by a crisp, assertive bitterness and an oily, smooth finish.

NEW RELEASE!!! Sonic the Hophog WCIPA 440ml

Our entry for the 2024 Malthouse West Coast IPA Challenge “Sonic the Hophog”.  One of the most iconic video games, we can still remember the sound of it booting up on Sega Genesis.  Nostalgic, yes, timeless, we reckon.  The games and movies continue over 30 years after its original release, much like us @Sunshine Brewery.  After 35 years in the industry, we give credence to the balance between the old and the new, and this beer is no different.  A traditional WCIPA malt base with Simcoe, Cryo Mosaic and a new hop from Montana named Ahhroma.   Let out a gleeful sigh with every sip.

Kiwi Capital ? Conservation Pale Ale ? 440mL 

In 1999, eight North Island brown kiwi were discovered in ?hope Scenic Reserve, representing the last of their local population. The Whakat?ne Kiwi Project was created to restore local kiwi numbers.

Simcoe, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Ekuanot hops ? terrific on their own, combined to create something sensational.

The Amazing Haze brings together a medley of NZ and US hops, delivering citrus, tropical and stone fruit notes across a sip that?s soft, smooth and slightly sweet ? think ripe papaya, plump white grapes, gooseberries and freshly zested lime. It says it in the name ? amazing!

From NZ's first dedicated non-alcoholic craft brewery, State of Play, comes a Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale. Double the hops.  Double the brewtiful beery bitterness. Nectaron is a new hop from NZ Hops that has the complete Kiwi signature - it is very fresh, fruity and fun (and yum).  A lot of Nectaron is added as a 'Dry Hop'.  This is at the very end of the brewing process.  Hops added at the very end of brewing will give you the upfront aroma and flavour.

Using a special yeast, this beer is naturally brewed, retaining all the flavour while only producing a tiny amount of alcohol - in this UNFILTERED PALE ALE it is only 0.3% ABV.

Crack open a can and enjoy some hoppy goodness today!
