Classic Northland Chic!

Pure liquid lupulin layers up in this pale gold pint. Huge, bright floral citrus and dank grapefruit hit deep across rich, oily layers of Citra and Mosaic, the ultimate hop cheat code. Modern liquid hop tech delivers all that flavour riding on a smooth, bright body, finishing clean with a “just-one-more-sip" bitterness. Pure hop wizardry.

Using the latest liquid hop technology out of the Pacific Northwest, we’ve brewed up a Citra and Mosaic stunner that’s bursting with flavour. Ripe mango, zesty lime, a cheeky lick of grapefruit, and that “just-one-more-sip" resinous snap — all riding on a wave of bright, juicy goodness. Itâ€...

Beneath the glassy surface, something stirs. A modern beast of hoppy proportions, Nessie rises from the depths with a crisp, snappy bite and a powerful, resinous grip.This is no murky myth—Nessie is a West Coast IPA in its purest, most ferocious form. Built on an ultra-clean, low-colour Pilsner ma...

Some things can’t be rushed—like tractors on backroads moving sheep. This unfiltered brew cruises in the slow lane, blending experimental Clayton’s Hops (bursting with lemon, grapefruit, and melon) with Nelson Sauvin’s bringing untamed Passionfruit and Sauvignon notes. A hazy, citrus-kissed ...

When the waves won’t play, we ride the dunes instead. This unfiltered IPA starts smooth with Aussie Ella’s noble hop charm, then drops into a full-throttle dry-hop of Vic Secret’s dank tropics and Ekuanot’s citrus/pine intensity. Hazy, bold, and packed with flavour—it’s the liquid equivalent of shredding Te Paki on your old board.

Our second 'vintage' of this delightful ale is brewed traditionally with Belgian malts & yeast along with our own 'candi syrup' to compliment. Our unique Belgian yeast adds inviting orange blossom & spice from the start with underlying notes of honey & soft, sweet bready malt with slight warmth that...

We aged some of our Hot Curl-Hibiscus sour with Brettanomyces Bruxellensis. Then we added local bush honey and fresh raspberries. This myriad of flavours has produced a unique ale full of red berry fruits, soft chamomile aromas and a soft, pleasant acidity with underlying notes of beeswax-tinted honey. Expect the fruitiness to fade over time and more funky flavours to develop.

An enticing blend of numerous sour beer vintages from our barrel program, the majority of barrels used for our Dry-hopped Sour Ale 2020 are former Marlborough Chardonnay casks. Aromas of grapefruit & dank gooseberry lead to a soft sourness hinting at oak & vanilla. Finish is long & complex with lingering sour fruit notes over savoury green hops. Both alluring & delicious, drink now or cellar away.

Smoked Dark BockThe style orginates from Bamberg Germany. The malts are slowly smoked with beechwood, imparting a deep rich smokiness. This is made in the stronger version, a bock or strong lager. Brewed like our Longboarder and cold conditioned. It is rich and smooth with a round integrated smokiness. Like bacon and eggs in a glass by the camp fire.

Brewed with brettanomyces & lactobacillus along with generous portions of oats & rye, this sour beer was then conditioned with proprietary sol berries from Northland's Maungatapere Berries. From it's huge, tropical raspberry nose to its soft, delicate citric & lactic sourness, the beer is clean & refreshing. Will age well, but equally drinkable now.

This unique beer was fermented with 100% brettanomyces before conditioning with fresh raspberries & golden kiwifruit for several months. Not a 'sour' beer but a clean, fruit beer, so expect bright, fresh fruitiness bolstered with soft, juicy raspberry & subtle kiwifruit. Mouthfeel is round & delicate with tartness building to a dry, slightly savoury finish. Drink now or tuck away in the cellar.

We brewed this Saison with a classic Belgian yeast blend in tandem with brettanomyces & lactobacillus for a spicy, tart ale with soft acidity. Malted oats & rye grains lend a soft, bready body that's surprisingly full yet dry. Clean & refreshing, it will age & develop nicely in-bottle. Enjoy now or cellar. Bottle conditioned, so take care when opening & don't rouse the lees (yeast).

Black Watch 2020 is a marriage of styles - classic Wee Heavy meets Russian Imperial Stout. Dark as night and layered with roasted & sweet malts, it's bold, bitter & luscious. We used a parti-gyle mash for massive structure & legs to rival the best red wines. Enjoy now or cellar for as long as you're able.

Despite its simplistic name, Black Sour 2020 is complex to the core. A blend of several vintages of sour beers from our barrel program, the majority of aging barrels used are former Marlborough Pinot Noir barriques which shaped the foundation of this unique sour ale. Layers of sour dark fruits & cho...

The 2018 iteration of Bonnie Wild Ale is as exciting & delicious as its 2017 predecessor. Tarnished orange with a white head & sustained lacing in the glass, it's hop-forward, bursting with bright clementine & bitter grapefruit on the nose. There's an inviting hint of funk & esters from the brettano...

Our Smugglers bay Imperial Oat Stout is everything you expect from the style. We brewed a classic imperial stout adding massive amounts of oats for a rich, silky body and full mouth-feel. We then let the beer rest in former Kentucky bourbon casks for a year after which we conditioned it with pure Gr...

Our flagship pale ale with all of its hoppy, yeasty magical-ness intact. That’s right. After a few keg-only batches in recent years, you asked, we listened & made some for cans. A tropical fruit bomb unaltered for your beer-drinking pleasure, we present Unfiltered Paradise, our core range superstar with #nofilter. Relish this when you crave #hazefordays in your own slice of paradise.

Like a big ocean swell, this beer is huge! Three of our fave hops shine here - Simcoe, Zythos and Pacifica - for a West Coast-style-meets-NZ hop combo. Ripe citrus, rock melon and pine needles rise to the nose while dank undertones balance the trio on a proper malt base. Decidedly easy drinking and ...

This ain’t your average NZIPA—it’s a neo-classic, dialled up with a double dry-hop punch. Deep gold and brilliantly clear, Tsunami Warning delivers a full-force blast of ripe stonefruit, led by luscious apricot vibes, thanks to a high-impact hop combo of Rakau, Nectaron, and the experimental C...

This classically-inspired English Special Bitter is crafted with all things English: yeast, malt and hops! Earl Grey and toffee aromas meld with a rich, malty body over pronounced but smooth bitterness. Just what an expat, ESB-loving Brit craves for a taste of the ol’ country whilst in a land far, far, far away.
