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.

ZEFFER  APPLE  CRUMBLE  CIDER

$15.00/L
5.4%
This Kiwi classic has won too many awards (and fans) to mention on here. Delicious is the only way to describe this cider. If you can imagine a freshly baked slice of apple crumble served with vanilla ice cream… this sums up the taste of this beautifully balanced cider perfectly.
Zeffer's head cidermaker crafts this ingenious flavour using freshly crushed apples infused with cinnamon, vanilla and blackberry leaves.

EMPORIUM  HI-VIS  PILSNER 

$13.00/L
4.5%
Superbly drinkable for the summer months. 
Hi-Vis got its name from the forest of Hi-Vis jackets Kaikoura has seen in the last year worn by the wonderful people from NCTIR and the other agencies fixing the roads into, and out of, Kaikoura. We'd be stuck without them so this one goes out to you guys & gals. When you drink this beer, raise a glass to these wonderful people

DEEP  CREEK  BREWTIFUL  HAZE  HAZY  IPA

$18.00/L
6.5%

This juicy, hazy, hop bomb is bursting with brewtiful tropical fruit hop aromas. Mouth-watering orange and mandarin flavours leap out of the haze. A downright addictive New England style IPA with a melange of juicy flavours and diminished bitterness. An incredibly approachable style. Get lost in the Brewtiful Haze! 

BEHEMOTH  GOOD  MORNING  VIETNAM  COFFEE  STOUT

$18.00/L
9.99%
A keg we've been cellaring for some time, this huge coffee stout was released in 2017 but we wanted to see what would happen with a little bit of age. The result is amazing! More mellow, less bitter, effortlessly drinkable despite its considerable power. Drink up,team. Once it's gone, it's gone! 

THREE  BOYS  CITRA  PILZEN

$16.00/L
6.0%
Gorgeously balanced American style Pilsner with so much Citra Hops you'd think you were in a orchard filled with honey bees tending to sweet peaches & tangy citrus fruits! 

DARK  STAR   HOPBOMINATION  IPA

$13.00/L
4.5%
A bold and malt-driven English style IPA. Aggressive and piney hops beam through the lovely biscuity malt base over a susprisingly small ABV given the body of this beer. Delicious! ​

RHYME  X  REASON  BRADY  PUNCH  NEIPA

$18.00/L
6.9%
Bursting with pineapple and candy flavours from the agressive El Dorado dry hopping, this juicy NE style IPA is smooth and sweet, just like Tom. But, unlike the G.O.A.T. who only gets better with age, this brew is best enjoyed fresh

CRAFTWORK  SAISON  ANISE  

$18.00/L
7.0%
Saison Anise is a sustaining drink, strong and full-flavoured. Aged for two months in the bottle, it pours copper gold. Anise has a complex grain bill; using Canterbury pilsner malt and crystal malts from Gladfield. Floral hop varieties, harmonise with candi sugar and certain spices, producing an elusive and enticing aroma. Our saison yeast envelops all into a drink that will beg another.

TOWNSHEND  POURI  LANE  LAGER

$14.00/l
4.5%
It's a crying shame that lagers are so underrated! This one's a beaut with Sorachi Ace, Cascade and Citra hops. Our take on the famous german cyclist beverage but without the lemonade! Wonderfully easy drinking with a lemony citrus hit.

CRIMSON  BADGER  GINGER  BEAR

$14.00/L
4.0%
The Ginger Bear from Queenstown's Crimson Badger hibernates over Winter but as soon as that sun starts pouring into the shop, it's time to bring it back. Ginger Beer as it should be.

PECKHAMS  MOUTERE  APPLE  CIDER

$15.00/L
5.7%
This was the first cider we created in our Upper Moutere cidery and stems from our quest to create a go-to, honest cider with plenty of character. Zesty and fresh with a touch of apple pie, and subtle complexity from some great cider apples.

MCLEODS  PARADISE  PALE  ALE

$15.00/L
5.8%
McLeods' version of an Australasian style Pale ale. Lush tropical aromas of papaya, mango and citrus with a hint of dank. Supported by a light sweet malt character and balanced bitterness

8WIRED  CUCUMBER  HIPPY

$15.00/L
4.5%
Unsurprisingly, Hippy Berliner was such a success that 8Wired ebbed to consumer demand and brewed a special edition with the addition of cooling cucumber. Bursting with sweet cucumber notes, balanced by lemon peel and tropical fruits. On the palate this beer is puckering, but very refreshing, full of cucumber, citrus and balanced by light hopping, finishing very clean. 

CONCEPT  BLACKBERRY  SOUR  KOLSCH

$15.00/L
4.5%
A kolsch soured on Blackberries.

"That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes."
