mcleod's  -  802  #62  Unfiltered  ipa

Here is our latest iteration, of our beloved series. Loaded with another single hopped
iteration. This time with Yakima Chief HBC 638. Lot’s to love about this one. Described as similar to Centennial (one of our favourites), with notes of mango, pineapple, banana, cherry, strawberry and cantelope. What is not to love about a fruit bowl. Always fresh, and always cold. 

Double  Vision -  The Jeffrey 

6.9%
A Hazy IPA with Cryo Hops, Hop Kief, a variety of malts, a special yeast to add complexity and a little bit of abv. It's like a Hop Neopolitan. 'Why is it called Jeffrey? Because who could be scared off a Jeffrey? Jeffrey's just this nice bloke from down the road.' 

Urbanaut  -  brixton pale ale

4.4%
The clean fruity aroma of this well-balanced pale ale makes it the ideal beverage to enjoy all afternoon. The bright auburn appearance is showcased through a mix of pale malts, and a subtle bitterness comes forward with citrus and spicy undertones.

As a tribute to the home of pale ale, we use English hops and brewing techniques, but with a modern New Zealand take on this British staple. This ensures every sip brings you back to the Brixton pubs in which it was first enjoyed, stopping over at our Kingsland brewery on your way. 

townshend  -  eye  scream  hazy  pale  ale

A double scoop of tangerine dream in every pint! This sessionable beer has been brewed with 100% Idaho 007 hops shaken and stirred generously through this delicious hazy IPA treat.

Brave  -  the people's pils german PILSNER  

4.8%
The People's Pils is deliciously simple and brings together clean, crisp malts and a zesty, noble hop character. Fermented with a German lager yeast, this is proper old school crushable pilsner, brewed for the people. 

urbanaut  -  monte  pirata  west  coast  pilsner

6.2%
Crisp and invigorating, this traditionally brewed pilsner has been hopped with Riwaka and Mosaic Cryo hops for huge swells of grapefruit, lemon, lime and mango aromatics which crash down with every sip of this hoppy beer. A rippling effervescence and clean, dry finish means peak refreshment from this tasty brew!

Refreshingly uncomplicated.

A Classic lager brewed with New Zealand’s distinctive and underappreciated Green Bullet hop.

Brave  -  Milk Stout

Released once a year, Milk Stout is brewed with the addition of lactose sugar and a small dose of cacao nibs during fermentation. The result is deliciously balanced, soft and creamy, with a toasty dark chocolate finish.

Mcleod's  -  amplifire  nz ipa

6.8%
Queenstown and Smith's NZIPA Challenge beckon, so our latest NZIPA gets a solid boost from Clayton Hops Amplifire hop extracts including Nelson, Pacifica and Riwaka for extra oomph. This makes for a rock star line up of green over a bready malt base with enough bitterness to lure you back for another round!

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. 

urbanaut  -  mollan  citra  wcipa

6.2%
Don’t turn your back on this wild West Coast IPA, single-hopped with unholy amounts of Citra and devastatingly delicious with zesty notes of orange, lime and passionfruit followed by a refreshing grapefruit bitterness. Punchy yet balanced with a full-flavoured malt bill, this beer will slay your thirst and keep swinging!

Heyday  -  sunsation belgian witbier

4.5%
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.

north  end  -  la  mure  blackberry  sour

5%
Farmhouse brewers in Wallonia on the Belgian - French border produce incredibly complex and yet refreshing beers that combine spicy yeast cultures, and light acidity. We took these elements of farmhouse brewing and combined them with locally grown Te Horo blackberries to create an incredibly fruity, tart and refreshing beer. We think it’s the perfect match to ripe camembert and cured meats.

Pacific Coast  -  Backwater Coffee black ale

4%
Designed to impress. Coffee-infused along with a rainbow of dark malts. Vienna malt lays it on thick, then pacific gem hops bring in the berry character.
