Grab ya sunnies, because this ray of sunshine delivers a clean, juicy, and bright IPA that’s as fruity as it is refreshing.

4.5%
Contains lactose

Altitude  -  sake  pilsner  

4.9%
Following our well received collab with ZenKuro sake brewery in 2019 we have teamed up again, this time with a different approach. Sake bomb beer in one neat package...Not quite - but we have brewed a beautiful golden pilsner with locally grown southland hops and then re-fermented it with sake kasu (rice starch by product of sake production). Making a lovely easy going beer that pairs well with japanese food and contains subtle aromas of rice wine matched with stonefruit. Just remember your chant before drinking!

8  wired  -  sicilia  Blood  Orange  spritz  beer

5.5%
Who doesn’t love the idea of lounging in the Sicilian sun, sipping a spritz, and ciao-ing all the locals?
With tangy orange, bitter spice, and a touch of bubbles, the elements that make an Italian spritz so bellissimo are captured in this unique experimental beer. Ciao Bella! 

Heyday  -  Coyote  Gold  Pale  Ale 

4.5%
Coyote Gold Pale Ale runs smooth with a clean malt base that lets its vibrant hop character shine. Pouring a light golden hue, it’s a citrus-charged adventure leading the pack—bursting with notes of lime zest, tropical fruit, juicy stonefruit, & a whisper of pine. A balanced bitterness rounds it out, making this brew a crisp, refreshing howl of flavour.

Three  boys  -  Bounty  hunter  coconut  stout 

5.4%
Coconut milk stout (contains lactose)

Garage  Project  -  Hazy  Pernicious  weed

6%
The monster hop has taken a new form. The same all-star cast of New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops, now shrouded in haze. Juicy grapefruit, passionfruit and dank resin, fused in a swirling otherworldly Hazy IPA. The beast is back.

Mcleods  -  subtropical stout

6.7%
Subtropical is a well-crafted, warm-fermented dark lager. A global, equatorial style brewed right here in Aotearoa.

Pouring jet black with a slight of white tan head, expect rich bittersweet chocolate with hints of espresso & campfire on the nose. Smooth, rich in body, crisp with soft malt, cocoa, & woody notes, it finishes finish with a hint of green banana, a smattering of hops & balanced bitterness. In a word? Refreshing. Dive in.

8  wired  -  boost  hazy  thiol  ipa

5.7%
Start the count down, this new hazy IPA is ready to launch you through strata of zesty, fresh, tropical flavours that are out of this world. With the help of “Mega Terps” from Freestyle Hops, we’ve strapped some Thiol boosters to this hop rocket of a beer, enhancing Southern Cross, Rakau, and Motueka notes of stone fruit, passionfruit, and lime. New Zealand, we have lift-off.

WAITOA  -  Tailblazer BLACK  IPA  

6.5%
 

mcleod's  -  the  roar  red  rye  ipa

7.5%
This bold, crimson-hued beast is a riot of flavour, strutting the perfect line between IPA punch and rye spice. Brewed with a fiery mix of NZ, US, and Aussie hops, it’s a hop-lover’s dream with layers of zesty citrus, peppery rye, and a lush tropical twist.

Think juicy mandarin and grapefruit up front, a crack of spicy rye malt in the middle, and a smooth, seductive finish of coconut cream and vanilla. Big, brash, and unapologetically flavour-forward—this is the kind of beer that doesn’t just growl… it roars.

MouNT  Brewing  - Mildly  Amused  British  Mild  

4%
A modern take on an English classic, Mildly Amused is light, refreshing, and just cheeky enough to keep things interesting. Soft biscuit malt, a hint of honey, and a whisper of floral hops come together for an easy going pint that’s full of character without the heavy-handedness. It won’t knock your socks off honestly, it’s too polite for that, but it’ll definitely make you nod, smile, and say, “Well, that’s quite nice.”

Altitude  -  Midnight  PeaK  Chocolate  Stout 

9.4%
A summit of rich indulgence. Midnight Peak pours jet black and syrupy, loaded with decadent layers of dark chocolate, smooth vanilla, and sticky toffee malt. Brewed with 15kg of roasted cocoa husks, proper cocoa powder, PNG vanilla beans and some chocolate essence. This pastry stout is a bold, bittersweet climb into the dark — silky, sinful, and unapologetically over the top.

North End  -  bones of the land saison

6.5%
The land has bones, it has a structure, a nature, a spirit and perhaps most importantly it has a flavour. In the Wallonia region of Belgium brewers continue a tradition of brewing farmhouse ales with the locally grown barley and yeast strains developed over generations. Bones of the Land is our take on these classic farmhouse ales combining malted barley from the Rangitikei with a smack of herbal hop and our own complex farmhouse ale yeast. The result is the produce of our corner of the world, the taste of here, the bones of our land.

Kereru  -  Shepherd's Ale

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.

Paradise  -  Prosecco

11%
Paradise Prosecco is a dry, fresh and crisp style of Prosecco with fresh citrus and stonefruit aromas and flavour and a long, dry finish.
Paradise Prosecco has been our best-selling wine by number of bottles sold since 2022. Delicious on its own or when paired with Aperol or Campari in a spritz (it makes for a great cocktail as it is light, fresh and dry).

peckham's  -  apple  cider

5.3%
The first cider we created in our Upper Moutere cidery 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.

kihi  -  fresh  hop  cider

5.4%
This crisp apple cider has been infused with the delicate notes of fresh Nelson Sauvin hops, picked straight off the bine in Wakatū and imparting cool white wine aromatics with hints of passionfruit and citrus on the nose. Bright, sparkling and finishing dry, this fresh hop cider happens only once a year when the season allows. Crack a can, let’s celebrate! XX
