PUNKY  BREWSTER  JOCKEY  BOX

10L/20L/30L/50L KEGS

With the helping hands of a couple of keen beer engineers, we've managed to put together a set of Jockey Boxes for rent. These bad boys hook themselves up to a keg at one end and a bottle of CO2 on the other.

​The beer is then pressured through the metal coil on the inside which is packed full of ice. This means fresh, cold beer from a room temperature keg on the go. Suitable for all sorts of occasions; weddings, parties, day at the beach, funerals. The world is your oyster.

PECKHAM'S  BLACKCURRANT  AND  APPLE  CIDER

$15.00/L

Just like a dry white wine, a dry cider is a natural base for a kir style drink. This Cider Kir is inspired by the traditional French aperitif, but made with local New Zealand heritage variety apples and Moutere grown blackcurrants. The cidermaker extracts the blackcurrant juice using cold extraction following an old 19th century English recipe. It has a delightful sweet and acid balance and pours a deep red.

DARK  STAR   HOPBOMINATION  IPA

A bold and malt-driven English style IPA. Aggressive and piney hops beam through the lovely biscuity malt base over a susprisingly small ABV given the body of this beer. Delicious! ​
