PUNKY  BREWSTER  JOCKEY  BOX

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.

Made with flaked malts (no, no lactose is in this beer) and Mt Hood hop from America, this is a refreshing and light with a full mouthfeel and lingering herbal hop character fromt he Mt Hood hops. Perfect for when you feel like something a little more flavourful yet not too powerful!

EPIC  SABRO  WEST  COAST  IPA

$18.00/L
7.2%
The latest One Trick Pony Release is here with the brand new Sabro hops. While at hop harvest last year Luke had the opportunity to try a number of beers with the latest trial hops. One that particularly took his attention was SABRO. Which had recently been named and released commercially. Luke was able to secure enough to brew one batch of of IPA with this brand new hop. As always the best way to test these new hops is to put it in a One Trick Pony series where we have the single hop as the hero flavour contributor to the beer. What makes this hop special is it is a unique cross pollination with a neomexicanus hop, which is quite different variety of hop. The resulting new hop Sabro (previously known as HBC 438) is a really complex character. You get your usual fruity citrusy notes but what makes this hop different is the coconut, mint, cedar and herbal notes that come through.

TOWNSHEND  KEYSTONE  MILK  STOUT

$16.00/L
5.5%
There is no actual milk in this beer but there is lactose- sugar derived from milk. This is an un-fermentable sugar meaning the brewing yeast does not convert it to alcohol and it retains its pleasing sweetness. Townshend's Keystone is a wonderful and modern take on the style- it has mild bitterness, big body, and a well balanced creamy, sweetness. Look out for chocolate, caramel and coffee flavours from the malt. Milk Stout was brewed by Martin Townshend's wife, Keri, at their brewery in Upper Moutere.

DUNCANS  STRAWBERRY  MILKSHAKE  IPA
