Hop Federation  -  Red IPA

6.4%
An exuberant blend of colour, flavours and aromas, Red IPA is our signature beer. Designed and first created in Simon’s garage back in 2012.

Everyone who tries it, loves it. The colour of a kaka’s wing. Where tart ruby grapefruit meets berries and passionfruit. A comforting toasty malt on the palate, rounded off with a satisfying, sustained finish.

Beer Baroness  -  Under Pressure Hazy IPA

We tried to squeeze as much flavour into this NEIPA using a delicious hop combination of Mosaic and Amarillo. Bringing you a barrage of juicy Mango Peach and Apricot along with some dank resinous pine.

8 Wired  -  Flat White Coffee Milk Stout

5.5%
A rather traditional milk stout, taken up a notch by the additional of Cuban and Brazilian coffee, freshly roasted by our friends at Rush Coffee.

Honourably named after New Zealand's national style of barista coffee. A title that has been wrestled away from freeze dried instant coffee and made our country one of the best coffee nations in the world. In our own humble opinion....

Brewed with coffee, vanilla beans and lactose.

emporium  -  run  for  the  hills  ipa

Run for the Hills is what we did when the earthquake struck Kaikoura in Nov 2016! It shook our whole world so it was appropriate that we shake yours with this beer that is full of Chinook, Simcoe, Motueka & Riwaka hops. Light on the malt base so those hops can smash you around, just like the quake did to our stash of sour beer! Enjoy
