It’s nearly summer! And to celebrate we have brewed a pineapple and lime fruit bomb. Pineapple on mass up front, supported by a healthy zip of kaffir lime.

Shining Peak  -  Billy Gumboots Bock Bier

5.7%
Upon discovering that their local municipality was being reclassified from Taranaki to Whanganui, the residents of Whangamōmona protested by boldly declaring themselves an independent republic.

Since that day, the town has celebrated their independence with a biannual ‘republic day’, in which a president is elected. In ‘99, Whangamōmona voted in their first ever animal president - a goat by the name of Billy Hircus, aka Gumboots. Gumboots was accused, but not convicted, of eating his opponent’s ballot papers.

This malty German Lager boasts a smooth body with malty background notes of dark currant and walnut.

EPIC  -  Crush  Hazy  Pale  Ale

Mcleod's  -  Smuggler's Bay Blackwatch Imperial Dark Ale

10%
Brewed in 2022 and bottle conditioned, this semi-annual brew was made with a parti-gyle double mash on International Tartan day. A massive beer with rich chocolate and espresso aromas plus rich caramel and bittersweet chocolate flavours lingering to a toasty bitter finish. A beer for drinking now, to share with friends, or maybe tuck away for a few years, if you can wait that long…

HOP  FEDERATION  -  LAGER

A sunny drop showcasing New Zealand and its hops. Two varieties, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin, bring a refreshingly simple drop with a delicate malt base and a clean finish.

8 WIred  -  Maverick Stout

Black as jet but easy on the ABV. This sessionable stout tempts you to land but then soars to another level with the citrus bite of Centennial hops.

Pacific  coast  -  zodiac  bright  ipa  

6.8%
Zodiac is a bright but powerful IPA with a stripped back, 100% Pilsner malt base allowing a delicious blend of NZ and US hops to shine.

A hefty kettle charge of NZ Kohatu, Nelson Sauvin and Superdelic bring an assertive bitterness and pack in flavours of gooseberry, mango and lemon peel. A huge dry hop of Motueka, Moutere, Riwaka and Mosaic Cryo bring it home with a massive tropical aroma bursting with layers of ripe, juicy fruit character.

The Zodiac is a true marine icon. As the original rigid inflatable boat this pioneering vessel is the benchmark for recreation, lifesaving and military service craft the world over.

URBANAUT  -  JACO  HAZY  IPA

Our take on an English-style Brown Porter, Pioneer is an award-winning beer that blends a proprietary malt list to a delicious end.

That's what beer's about, right?
