GARAGE  PROJECT  NITRO  VANILLA  LATTE  STOUT  (NITRO)

6.5%
How do you like your coffee hit? Juicy two row malt, creamy rolled oats and roasted barley? Delicately sweet milk sugar? A cold infused freshly ground blend of central American coffee beans, perfectly roasted to accentuate their full bodied cacao flavour and delicate citrus acidity? Then rested on whole vanilla pods and finished on nitrogen for super smooth mouthfeel and luscious latte foam? Don’t forget to stamp your card.

NORTH  END  SIN  EATER  OAT  MILD

4.5%
North End Seasonal Range Once upon a time in rural Shropshire one member of the village would ritually take on the sins of the recently deceased by drinking ale and eating food over the departed’s body. These ‘sin eaters’ would have been drinking mild ale, so in collaboration with our Shropshire born friends at Small Gods we decided to brew a malty, tawny, mild ale with a decent dose of oats.
​

RHYME  X  REASON  -  MILKY  WAY  MILK  STOUT 

6.5%
We've delicately replicated our favourite candy bar, Milky Way, and have made a sweet and rich milkshake stout, topped with a smooth nougat-like head. With Cacao Nibs, Dark Chocolate Malts and sweetened with New Zealand's Alpine clover honey, this Milky Way beer will give you all the mouth feels you want on a starry night.

POMEROYS  -  BRIGADIERS  BELGIAN  WIT 

5.1%
This elegant and refreshing Belgian Wit is brewed with Oats and Wheat along with a gentle addition of locally sourced and hand zested oranges. The unconventional use of Citra and Amarillo hops combine with our favourite Belgian wit yeast strain to complement to the fruity citrus flavour.

URBANAUT  -  FANTASTIC  VOYAGE  RED  IPA

5.8%
Absolute, perfect balance. The harmony of hops and malts together - two paths destined to collide, creating light and heat and thirst-quenching salvation! This beer has a warming glow of toffee and caramel rounded out by a bold, sharp bitterness and topped off with the delicate aroma of fresh-crushed wildberries. Rumoured origins place this beer squarely in the
Cretaceous period.

BEER  BARONESS  -  WEIRDLY  NORMAL  BLACK  IPA

6.1%
There’s no such thing as a Black IPA!......... This strangely familiar combination of IPA and roast malt brings together a terribly good blend of piney hops with bittersweet dark chocolate and coffee. This clearly misunderstood style may be your only choice when it comes to a visibly dark hoppy IPA.. but that’s just our unbiased opinion. 

NORTH  END  -  QUANTUM  LEAP  INDIA  PILSNER

7.2%
Boundless - a bière de coupage (blended beer). A young hoppy mixed ferment farmhouse ale blended with a 2 year old barrel of spontaneously fermented beer. 100% local Gladfield malt, dry hopped with Riwaka and Motueka. Fruity funky and tart with a little structure from the oak barrel.

MCLEODS  -  PIONEER  PORTER

5.5%
Our take on an English-style Brown Porter, Pioneer is an award-winning beer that blends a proprietary malt list to a delicious end. Using a classic English ale strain imparts lovely fruity esters, both 'bready' & lively, with subtle cocoa & toast on the palate for a simple-yet-satisfying brew. Balanced, as always, & delicious. That's what beer's about, right? 

Juicehead  -  Inferno   Of  CHAOS   Birdseye  Chilli  Stout

6.5%
JuiceHead Chaos India Stout, dosed with Bird Eye Chillis!

WAITOA  -  NAVIGATOR  PALE  ALE

4.0%
A delicate Pacific Pale Ale, inspired by the peoples who have traversed the Pacific Ocean for Millennia. Galaxy hops lead a bouquet of tropical fruit, reminiscent of the flavours found in many an island paradise scattered across the Pacific.

8  WIRED -  HIPPY  BERLINER  HOPPY  SOUR

5.1%
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.

WILDERNESS  -  NEON  HALO  BLACK  PEACH  SOUR

5.4%
The base for this gose is a pilsner/wheat wort, lightly hopped and salted mixed ferment (lacto, sach, brett) pale sour ale. Aged for several months on hand picked black boy peaches from a family tree

URBANAUT  -  JUNO  HAZY  SESSION  IPA

2.5%
Say hello to Juno, our juicy lil’ hazy pale ale that packs the punch of a full-blown hazy IPA, but with a deliciously sessionable ABV of just 2.5%  assuring your dance moves stay slick all night long. Brimming with big nectarine, apricot and peach flavours and a gently rounded mouthfeel usually unseen in low-ABV beers, Juno is a LIL beer with BIG ambitions.

RHYME  X  REASON  -  DEATHWISH  HAZY  IPA

5.4%
Danger drop one of these into your gullet. Ain’t a fakie, come have a sesh. Dropping with 360 grist. First rotation; 180 Idaho 7, then 360 Victoria Secret, 540 Rakau, 720 Amarillo, 900 Azacca, 1080 Simcoe, and kick out 1260 Citra.

BEER  BArONESS  -  STRATA  HAZY  IPA

6.4%
Our Fresh New Hazy IPA uses a combination of Mosaic and Citra along with some out of this world hop heavyweights Strata and Galaxy. Sweet Passionfruit and Pineapple fight for centre stage against Herbal Resinous pine and Grapefruit pith. A clean Pilsner malt base is used alongside Oats to provide a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, but an addition of a not so common heirloom species of wheat 'Spelt Malt' creates a slightly tangy finish which accentuates a punchy hop bitterness.

BAYLANDS  -  NUMERO  UNO  PILSNER

4.8%
Delicious, hoppy, dry, and smashable! 

McLeods  -  LONGBOARDER  LAGER

5.2%
A proper lager, six weeks from brew to bottle. Layers of lime, lemon and melon aromas. Dry and crisp. Beer geek lager.

MCLEODS  -  COVE  HAZY  PALE  ALE

4.7%
Lovingly known at the brewery as '802's little brother'. This is the first batch we've canned, so we made it extra special with party faves Mosaic & Citra hops. Along with a massive citrus blast & fruit salad on the nose, there's enough malt holding it together & a soft mouthfeel over balanced bitterness. Enjoy it with friends or by yourself. It's a little slice of our place at yours!

BEHEMOTH/HEART  OF  DARKNESS  - HOP  SHAPED  BOX  HAZY  IPA

7.2%
We have teamed up with our mates at Heart of Darkness (Saigon, Vietnam) to
brew this hazy IPA full Motueka, Pacifica, Nelson Sauvin and Citra. Think tropical, Citrus flavours and Aromas. We know we could not make this box this beer is in actually hop shaped, it would be really hard to fit 6 cans in. Keep an eye out for Heart of Darkness around NZ. The taste of Vietnam brewed right here in NZ!
Get out there and support local bars and local breweries.

BREW  UNION/BONEFACE  -  BLOOD  ORANGE  SAISON

Brewed with our good mates from Boneface, this beautifully balanced Saison has blood orange juice in the boil along with orange and lime zest. Zesty, spicy, dry and bubbly

PECKHAM'S  -  MOUTERE  APPLE  CIDER 

5.0%
This is an iteration of the first cider we created in our Nelson cidery, and stems from our quest to create a go-to, medium-dry cider with plenty of character. Zesty and fresh with a touch of apple pie and subtle complexity from some great cider apples. 

MORNINGCIDER  -  BLUEBERRY  PIE  CIDER

4.5%
You know you want a peace o' this pie - blending crunchy cinnamon topping with blueberries and Granny Smith apples, this desserty sip is about to become the apple of your pie!
