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.

GOOD  BEER  COLLECTIVE  CANTERBURY  PALE  ALE

$15.00/L
5.5%
The first collaborative brew of the Good Beer Collective - a Canterbury initiative dedicated to promoting Canterbury beer and beer vendors. Check out their Facebook for more info! This beer is hopped predominantly with  Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Moutere hops. It's a lovely clean pale ale with that classic Sauvin characteristic.

CHOICE  BROS.  FASHION  BROWN  IPA

$18.00/L
6.0%
Brown Ales are the next big thing. Trust us. Word on the street is that even 8 WIred are bringing theirs back. Seriously, who tried Rewired? That beer was mean. Fashion Brown IPA is equally mean. Hopped with Citra and Amarillo, and malt from Gladfield.

TWO  THUMB  GREEN  THUMB  FRESH  HOP  PALE  ALE

$16.00/L
5.2%

Green Thumb is Two Thumb's 2017 Fresh Hop Pale Ale. Weighing in at 5.2% this is a single (Fresh) hopped Pale Ale using the delicious and juicy Nelson Sauvin hops.

NUTS  BREWING  CO.  CHESTER'S  GOLDEN  LAGER

$15.00/L
4.8%
A crisp, clean and sessionable beer with the added nuttiness of chestnuts, from local brewers Concept.

PECKHAM'S  ELDERFLOWER  CIDER

$15.00/L
5.8%
Cider made in the family cidery from tree ripened heritage apples, including bittersweet cider apples, infused with wild, hand-picked elderflowers. Medium-dry. Floral and delicate, with herbaceous notes. This is a fragrant, vibrant cider, perfect for summer drinking.

8 WIRED  TROPIDELIC  PALE  ALE

$15.00/L
5.5%
"Our interpretation of a New Zealand hopped pale ale can best be described as Tropidelic. With plenty of exotic fruit flavours from the hops it's an island orchard of fresh fruit salad but with the characteristic 8 Wired touch of balance, as you would imagine."

VULCAN  MACFARLANE  SCOTCH  ALE

$16.00/L
6.3%

Pours a dark copper red with a bright white head. The nose brings malt biscuits, caramel, poached apricots and fresh cream with some strong burned grains beginning to take over toward the end. Delicious for the darker months!

THE  LABORATORY  NUTTY  PROFESSOR  BROWN  ALE

$15.00/L
4.7%
Another rare outing for a delicious Lab beer all the way from Lincoln. Nutty Professor is a rich, nutty mid-strength brown ale with epic hazelnut flavour. Not too boozy, but certainly good for warming your wintered soul.

NORTH  END  SALT  &  WOOD  BECOME  THE  OCEAN  GOSE

$16.00/L
5.0%

Another excellent brew from North End's Salt & Wood Collective series. A salty, brine sour popping with notes of yoghurt, fruit juice, and a little bit of hoppiness to round it off. 

SOUTHPAW  RIDING  PINE  RED  IPA

$15.00/L
5.4%
Riding Pine Red IPA is rich in malt complexity and balance with spicy, piney hop flavours.  It has a deep zestful aroma from a combination of US and NZ hop varieties and a rounded bitterness to accentuate the full bready, toasty malt sweetness.

MIKE'S  CHOCOLATE  MILK  STOUT

$16.00/L
5.5%
CMS, one of mike's signature beers, is made with the addition of lactose, which enhances sweetness and brings a creamy texture to the mouthfeel. Despite that, it's got quite a light body with a cocoa dryness. Velvet smooth and sweet with some late bitterness to balance, this is a drinkable and fulfilling drop.

MCLEOD'S  802  #2  AHTANUM-SIMCOE  DARK  IPA

$18.00/L
6.6%
The second in the Mcleod's epic series of fresh, unfiltered IPAs. 802 #2 is a dark IPA - not a black IPA. Black IPAs are often too roasty, too syrupy and just plain too heavy. This beer has a nice gentle roastiness, but is a juicy hop bomb upfront at the same time.

BEHEMOTH  IN  YA  FACE  DOUBLE  IPA

$20.00/L
9.0%
In Ya Face received a facelift recently, and has had the addition of some kiwi hops to the American hop bill. We reckon this makes it even more In Ya Face, and that's pretty much exactly what you want from a Double IPA!

BEHEMOTH  'MURICA  APA

$16.00/L
6.0%
Full of aromatic American hops, on a pale amber malt base. Good fruity sweetness underlies big American hop character. 

PARROTDOG  BITTERBITCH  IPA

$16.00/L
5.8%
This beer needs no introduction on our taps. Bitterbitch is a gutsy IPA with a robust malt base. The hop character is definitely coming out to meet you, but the balance with the malt flavour is what makes this a crowd favourite we think.

WIGRAM  HARVARD  HONEY  ALE

$11.00/L
5.0%
This copper coloured ale has a faint honey aroma. This mild, medium body beer has a distinct honey flavour balanced well with a clean crisp hoppy finish. At the end, a slight sweetness stays on the palate.

SOUTHPAW/PUNKY  BREWSTER  FRIENDLY  CONFINES  PALE  ALE

$15.00/L
5.5%
We chose our two favourite hops (Amarillo and Riwaka) and laid a heavy dry hop over a lovely clean pale ale using some of Cam from Southpaw's favourite English bittering hops. Our first ever commercial beer release is maybe not too ambitious, but a good pale ale can sometimes be hard to find - and we're pretty chuffed with how this one turned out.

BEHEMOTH/RENAISSANCE  BULLION  HOPPY  GOLDEN  ALE

$15.00/L
5.9%
A collaborative brew with Renaissance for Marchfest '17. Gold Bullion is a hoppy golden ale using NZ and US hops over a sweet and straw-like golden malt base. A beer to be widely appreciated by lager and ale drinkers alike.

BEHEMOTH  GRAPE  DRAnk  fresh  hop  pale  ale

$16.00/L
5.5%
The combination of fresh Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc hop varieties makes for a lovely sweet pale ale with extreme grape flavours and aromas. Very reminiscent of the fleshy part of the kind of grape vines grown in kiwi backyards.

PUNKY  BREWSTER  SKUNKY  PUNKY  IPA

$16.00/L
7.5%
Hopped heavily with Nelson Sauvin atop a robust malt base. People are always saying Sauvin is dank - what does it mean? We aren't totally sure, but this beer is for sure skunky.
