parrotdog  -  jillian  boysenberry  stout

6.5%
Jill and Ian were destined to be together. She was the boysenberry to his stout, a splash of purple that brightened up his day, his dark features never failing to put a twinkle in her eye. In an ode to this union, a complex mix of dark malts, chocolate and a hint of roast are partnered with ripples of boysenberry, bringing both sweet and tart fruit flavours. Now Jill and Ian have become one.

Mcleod's  -  northern  light  lager

2.3%
Classic Lager Taste. Half the size. Meet 2.3% ABV Northern Light Lager! Crisp lager profile upfront with cracker-like aroma, it drinks smooth & hits above its weight with a surprisingly full body for such a low ABV beer. Toasty & bready malt palate hints of biscuits to a clean, dry finish with just enough bitterness to keep it refreshing.​

beer  baroness  -  making  plans  for  Nigel  wcipa

6.4%
​Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes his IPA to be
Really dank and sticky
Mixed with Orange sherbet and lychee

We're only making beer for Nigel
We only want tropical Citra hops
We're only making beer for Nigel
Nigel just needs a nice clear beer

And if young Nigel says that he's hoppy
He must be hoppy
He must be hoppy
He must be hoppy in his world

kereru  -  alice  land  ipa

6%
Alice Land is a delicious hazy India Pale Ale made with all NZ hops, with notes of stone fruit, citrus, and tropical fruit.

8  Wired  -  Hippy  Berliner  hoppy  sour  ale

4%
Think of this as the free-spirited love child of a Berliner Weisse and an IPA. American and New Zealand hops deliver juicy fruit flavours and gentle bitterness, while live cultures create a natural thirst-quenching sourness. The result is bold yet light, and totally outta sight.​

mcleod's  -  longboarder  lager

5.2%
Our flagship beer. A German Pilsner at heart with a heavy dose of New Zealand hops. Brewed with our house lager yeast and cold-conditioned for six weeks before we release it, the aroma is clean and bright with citrus and melon hoppiness. The taste is smooth with cracker-like maltiness and fine balanced bitterness, making it the perfect beer after a day on your longboard. Slainte mhath.

townshend  -  cathcarts  xpa

4.2%
A highly drinkable Kiwi / US / Brit-pop beer. Floral hoppy aromas, zesty citrus and light tropical fruit offset by chewy caramel and wine biscuit flavours - A nod to the folks who were the driving force behind our brewery.​

india  pale  lager

6%
 

heyday  -  stroke  of  luck  dry  stout

4.1%
With Stroke of Luck we wanted to go simple. No adjuncts, no quadruple dry hop with whimsical experimental hops, just good old fashioned roasted barley for a pint that is as dark as the dead of night. 

Ballast POint - Barmy Army

8%
Bourbon & Virgin Oak Barrel Apricot and Honey Golden Strong Ale

Ballast Point - Piper Down

7.8%
Rye Whiskey Barrel Aged Scotch Ale

heyday  -  kodiak  american  amber  ale

5%
Kodiak is an American Amber Ale but not as sweet as the classic style. WIth just over half the typical amount of Crystal malt used in an American Amber, it gives the hops a chance to bring out some beautiful orange marmalade characteristics, with just a hint of pine. A nice nod to the big Alaskan forest dwelling creature this beer is named after.​

Parrotdog  -  pilsner  

5.2%
​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.

peckham's - blackcurrant  cider

5.2%
Peckham's proper cider with a generous dash of Moutere blackcurrant. Pours a deep, rich red. Packed with the fragrance of whole pressed blackcurrants. Great sweet and acid balance.

scoundrels  and  rogues -   bad  habit  cider

6.3%
An off dry cider made from a mix of heritage and dessert apples, and aged for 1.5 years in barrel.

Crimson  badger  -  ginger  bear

4%
Our alcoholic ginger beer has a perfect balance between it’s natural sugar sweetness and ginger spice. A Queenstown original brew!​
