Parrotdog  -  Sundog Pilsner

If the sky is clear and cool, and you’re very lucky, you might witness a sundog: apparitions that accompany the true sun, an atmospheric trick of light and ice. Our own Sundog, a pilsner starring the vivid passionfruit and white wine notes of New Zealand hops, is much easier to find, but just as crisp and bright.

Juicy and drinking like a fresh smoothie with an abundance of oats added to the grain bill, this beer is the proverbial desert island escape - one sip and you’ll float into the sunset. 

kereru  -  shepherd's  al e

2.5%
This full-flavoured, mid-strength amber red ale is made with Gladfield Shepherd’s Delight red malt and crystal malts for colour. It is hopped with NZ Rakau and NZ Goldings hops for a mildly bitter and creamy finish. We used enough malt that we could have made a much stronger beer, but with precise control in the mash tun, we’ve crafted a brew which is very big on flavour and yet only weighs in at 2.5% ABV. This is the perfect beer to drink and responsibly enjoy yourself. 

brave  brewing  -  tigermilk  ipa

A light bodied, easy drinking IPA brewed with a blend of old and new school American hop varieties. The result is a delicious cocktail of citrus and tropical fruit. Tigermilk is bold, but affectionate.

This Belgian Witbier delicately dances on the palate with its crisp & refreshing character. Aromas of banana & bubblegum greet the senses, offering a subtle sweetness that complements the beer's light body. The addition of a light dry-hopping accentuates the nuanced flavours, providing a gentle floral & herbal complexity. The finish is soft & effervescent, making this Witbier a delightful & nuanced choice for those seeking a nuanced & flavorful brew.

double  vision  -  milow  &  oatis  chocolate  oat  milk

4.5%
There is something super satisfying about a Milk Stout that we feel nods to the comfort of a childhood chocolate milk. The only thing that is tough about that style is the accessibility for those who are vegan or lactose intolerant. In an effort for total inclusion and a progressive approach, we are developing with our mates at Chocstock a beer that can tick all of the boxes and be the perfect pairing with some of the world's finest chocolates presented for Chocstock 2024!
