PARROTDOG - L.B.  IRISH  STOUT  (NITRO)

4.5%
Brewed for the 2021 NZ Stout Challenge, this traditional Irish style stout is dry and balanced. Poured on nitro for that classic smooth mouthfeel. 

GARAGE  PROJECT  -  NITRO  VANILLA  LATTE  (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.

Garage  PROJECT  -  BLOCK  PARTY  HAZY  IPA

6.2%
Welcome to the Block Party - an ongoing celebration of New Zealand hops and terroir. Each batch is brewed using the unique combination of hops grown on a single block of the Freestyle Hop Farm in the sun soaked Upper Moutere. For this batch we’ve brewed a lush hazy IPA using Southern Cross, Motueka and Rakau from the farm’s Waghorn A block. A rare opportunity to experience the character of single origin hop varieties from a specific block of land. Party on.

MCLEODS  -  DUNKELWEIZEN

5.6%
Old-school beer styles never go out of fashion, & this is our first release of a favourite. Using  traditional German Hefeweizen yeast in tandem with German pilsner, Munich & wheat malts, we crafted this Dunkelweizen for maximum enjoyment. Easy-drinking, fruity & rich with a hint of tartness, think of it as banana bread in a pint, & you've hit the mark. Prost!

MCLEODS  -  UNFILTERED  PARADISE  PALE  ALE

5.5%
Let the sun in with 5.5% Paradise Unfiltered Pale Ale, our flagship pale ale with all of its hoppy, yeasty magical-ness intact. That’s right. After a few keg-only batches in recent years, fans asked, we listened & put it in kegs & cans. A moreish exceedingly drinkable tropical fruit bomb, it's our core range superstar with #nofilter. Grab some today!

BEER  BARONESS  -  KIWIFRUIT  PILSNER

6.3%
Brewed to be super dry and spritzy this gentle Pilsner was then conditioned with Golden Kiwifruit to provide a little fruity sweetness.

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? 

8 WIRED  -  DOUBLE  IMPERIAL  iSTOUT

15%
To celebrate 11 years since the release of the original iStout we decided to turn the dial to 11 and make an even more imperial version of this already very imperial beer.
11th anniversary limited edition release. An even bigger version of our already feisty iStout. Huge chocolatey roasty stout which will warm the cockles of one's heart.

PARROTDOG  - FALCON  APA 

5.4%
Falcons stalk the skies, commanding their territory with focus and intensity; a totem for this American Pale Ale. 
Our interpretation of the style takes modern U.S. hop flavours of citrus and tropical fruit and lets them soar on a light and nimble body.

BEER  BARONESS  -  SPEAKING  FRANKLY  CHERRY  SOUR

5.1%
Our Grisette inspired Cherry sour is brewed with Pilsner malt, Wheat and Spelt, then gently kettle soured and co fermented with a Belgian saison yeast and Sacch Trois we then conditioned on Cherries. Soft Tart and full of Cherry goodness. 

NORTH  END  -  BECOME  THE  OCEAN  GOSE

5.0%
For hundreds of years brewers in the German state of Saxony produced tart, salty, spicy wheat beers called Gose. The style was all but extinct when new world craft brewers discovered it and started to brew versions with increasingly off the wall flavourings. We decided to do something revolutionary and brew a Gose using only the traditional ingredients of water, malt, hops, salt, coriander seeds and yeast. Fruity, tart and just a little salty, we think Become the Ocean is the perfect match to a plate of shellfish​​

MCLEODS  -  NORTHERN  LIGHT  LAGER

2.3%
Meet 2.3% ABV Northern Light Vienna 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.

BEHEMOTH  -  PETER  &  BRIAN  HAZY  IPA

6.4%
The lovable moron and his anthropomorphic dog. They are also a freakin' sweet hop combo! Anyhow Mosaic with it’s fruit bowl of flavours and aromas mainly bringing some big mango then Ekuanot hops brining lemon, lime, pithy orange, tropical fruit, berry, papaya.

DOUBLE  VISION  -  CHILLAX  XPA

5.0%
XPA- Extra Pale Ale. A wise man once said "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere". A Nelson Sauvin/Simcoe duo bring fruity and piny notes witha bit of zing and some mellow, light malts to match.
