Kettle soured wheat, lightly salted and infused with white peaches - a delicate three way salty, sweet and sour balancing act. A little bit of white mischief in a beer where anything gose.

Brewed for Wellington On A Plate 2015.

Salted White Peach Sour - 2.9% ABV

RODENBACH Grand Cru is a aged Belgian red ale, consisting of one-third young beer and two-thirds oak-matured beer for two years. The result is a complex beer with a great deal of wood and esters, vinous and with a very long aftertaste, just like a vintage wine. 

Its taste is complex and rounded, intense and refreshing. It is characterised by an acidic, appley fruitiness combined with caramel, wild honey and oak with a touch of vanilla, cherry and liquorice. The aroma consists of touches of caramel and oak, as well as green apples mixed with honey and chocolate. The slightly sour, fruity aftertaste is long and nicely balanced, just like a Grand Cru wine.

Michael Jackson rightly called this beer a "World Classic" and "the Burgundy of Belgium".

Cucumber Dill Pickle Sour

A clean, refreshing sour beer inspired by the burger?s classic companion - the dill pickle. Naturally kettle soured and infused with cucumber, dill, and pickle spice. This quirky refreshing beer would be the perfect playmate for the classic cheese burger, fish burger or any other pickle loving burger offering.

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

5% ABV.

North End - Just because something is small doesn't mean it won't pack a punch.  The little, delicate, dried flowers of the hibiscus plant are a case in point as they lend a pungent, fruity character, and deep pink colour when added to beer.  The same can be said of Petit Luna.  Hibiscus, Kaffir lime, spicy Belgian yeast and lactic tartness all brew up to a big refreshing blast of flavour fired by a light, low alcoholic beer.

2.5% ABV.

A dessert style sour, brewed with lactose sugar and vanilla that sweetens the raspberry tartness.

5% ABV.

Baylands - Like Slacklining, styling a sour beer requires superb balance.  Too far in either direction and it's not going to end well.

This kettle-soured Boysenberry Gose features boysenberries from Hawke's Bay and pink Himalayan sea salt.

Not too sour and not too salty, it's simply a beautifully refreshing drop.  And did we say pink? Oh yeah, it's definitely pink!

Duncan's Brewing - Part of our dessert-style sour beer range.  Brewed with lactose sugar and vanilla that sweetens the passionfruit and lime sourness.

5% ABV.

Like Slacklining styling a sour beer requires superb balance.  Too far in either direction and it's not going to end well.

The tartness of this kettle-soured Gose (that's pronounced "Goes-uh") is balanced by the tropical combo of mango and guava and a dose of sea salt.

Not too sour and not too salty, Slackline Mango and Guava is simply a beautifully refreshing drop!

Oude Geuze Boon is one of the finest examples of the traditional 100% spontaneous fermentation Lambic style. To moderate the sourness, Boon Brewery only brews Lambic in the 7 cold months, from early October until April, according to the traditional "turbid mash" system. This Lambic beer is brewed from 40% unmalted wheat, 60% of barleymalt, aged hops and wild yeasts collected from our coolship and is aged for 1, 2 or 3 years in oak casks. The blend, a mild average 18 months old Lambic (unsweetened, unfiltered, unpasteurised) is refermented in the bottle and can be stored up to 20 years. Brewed in Lembeek, the village that gave Lambic its name. Awards at the World Beer Championships: 2008 Gold, 2010 Silver, 2012 Gold Medal.

North End Brewing - Farmhouse brewers in Wallonia on the Belgian - French border produce incredibly complex and yet refreshing beers that combine spicy yeast cultures and light acidity.  We took these elements of Farmhouse brewing and combined them with locally grown Te Horo Blackberries to create an incredible fruity, tart and refreshing beer.  We think it's the perfect match to ripe Camembert and cured meats.

Blackberry Sour, 5% ABV.

Introducing the newest in the Liberty Family. Liberty Brewing 'Sachet' Orange Sour geared for your summer sessions so you can have a couple in the sun and still be responsible!

Now why would we call it a Sachet Sour, seems weird right. Well, the secret ingredient in this beer comes in a sachet, and may remind you of your childhood, dipping your sticky little fingers into the orange tasting crystals instead of pouring them into the water as they were intended.

Crisp, aromatic, effervescent refreshment.
