HANDPULL :  Mcleod's   -  10  pound  poms  esb

3.8%
This classically-inspired English Special Bitter is crafted with all things English: yeast, malt and hops!

DuNcan's - yum  yum  yuzu  lager

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.

8 wired  -  rogue & villain  esb

5.5%
Rogue & Villain is our unapologetically classic ESB: rich amber in the glass, layered with toffee, toasted biscuit and a whisper of marmalade. A firm, earthy bitterness cuts through the malt sweetness, keeping things dangerously drinkable and undeniably balanced.

8 Wired  -  extra stout

6%
Extra Stout is built for those who appreciate depth. A rich and robust stout layered with roasted malt, dark chocolate, and subtle coffee notes, balanced by a smooth, lingering finish. Because sometimes, more really is more.  

garage  project  -  party  &  bulls#*t  Hazy  IPA

6%
East Coast anthem IPA - A big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing an intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than its bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good.

Explicit Haze Warning: If cloudy beer offends you please drink from the can or close your eyes.

Heyday x Aliment  -  beer friends hoppy porter

 5%
Pouring a beautiful deep mahogany colour, this Hoppy Porter is the perfect balance of hop forward texture & malt driven body.

Parrotdog  -  Birthday Hazy DIPA

8%
Limited Release – 15th Anniversary Edition is a Hazy DIPA brewed with Krush, Strata and Citra hops. Explosive tropical fruit, stone fruit and citrus hop character gives way to a pillowy, creamy mouthfeel and restrained bitterness, finishing juicy and smooth with subtle dankness and citrus peel complexity.

EMPORIUM  -   THE  AMERIKOURAN  APA

5.2%
Using a really light malt base to let the combination of Citra, Santiam and Riwaka come through this beer is built to help you survive a hot day (and some cold ones as well!)

Three  Boys  -  raspberry  sour

3.5%
A refreshing raspberry sour!

aliment  -  green  mountain  ipa

5.9%
A fitting nod to Vermont, the US state where Jason was weaned on Grade B maple syrup, long winters & stellar powder days. And - yes - it’s UNFILTERED. Shockingly it isn’t green given the lavish dollops of Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic & Pacifica in every drop. But - no surprise - it’s a banger! Sticky dank cannabis, fresh lemon zest & rich, ripe tropical fruit notes coat the palate to proper bitterness & a gloriously long hoppy finish. One pint & - jeezum crow! - you’re in a Green Mountain state of mind.
