Here you can check out our selection of what's pouring at Punky Brewster, along with some tasting notes so you know what you're in for! 

SHINING  PEAK  -  DICKY  BARRETT'S  ENGLISH  BITTER

5.9%
Traditional English Style Bitter that balances a firm floral bitterness with toasty malts. Served on Nitro tap.

PARROTDOG  -  BIRDSEYE  HAZY  IPA

5.8%
Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds’ eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.

URBANAUT  -  WILLIAMSBURG  WEST  COAST  IPA

7.2%
Showcasing the malts from Canterbury New Zealand, balanced with heady aromatic NZ hops. Big, bold, proud. A fresh hop aroma with cut grass and citrus. Left with a clean dry finish from an ale yeast that’s fully feasted, leaving an estery note.

BEER  BARONESS  -  OREO  COOKIE  STOUT

6.4%
When you walk into the brewery office the one thing you are almost guaranteed to find is a secret stash of cookies.
So when it came to brewing our next Stout the obvious inspiration had to be Oreo Cookies.
Sweet vanilla creme dominate the aroma along with loads of chocolate biscuits, first sip provides upfront sweetness with dry malt biscuit finish. 

MCLEODS  - WICKER  BASKET SOL  BERRY  SOUR

5.1%
Our new series of sour ales continues with Wicker Basket Solberry. We're excited to partner exclusively with Northland's Maungatapere Farms in sourcing solberries, a tropical raspberry, for added regional terroir in our beers. For this one, we started a base brew with lactobacillus cultures before fermenting with ale yeast and conditioning on fruit for a week. With a big, juicy tropical-laden berry nose and a massive fruit palate with bright acidity, it's a crisp, refreshing summer ale with the gift of northland sunshine in every sip.

GARAGE  PROJECT  -  CRISPY  CLUB  UNFILTERED  LAGER

5.3%
This brew contains the finest pilsner and caramel malts, Simcoe Noble, Spalter Select, Tettnang and X033 hops, creating biscuity sweetness balanced with snappy bitterness and floral hop character

BEER  BARONESS  -  LITTLE  MIGHTY  SESSION  IPA

2.5%
Classic Lager Taste. Half the size. 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.

EMPORIUM  -  SCHNAPPI   MARZEN

5.8%
A big beautiful amber lager - lots of sweet malt notes and a delicious and clean lager finish! 

PARROTDOG  -  FALCON  APA

5.5%
The follow up to the ever popular Howler APA. Wolfii's dominant hop is Centenial, giving it that piney aroma that is very common in American Pale Ales. Lovely hop bitterness but lower ABV than an IPA, once that first sip hits your lips, you'll be howlin' for more! 

CHINCHILLER  -  DANCING  JUICE  HAZY  IPA

7.2%
A big, resinous and juicy hazy IPA from the one and only Chinchiller! 

NORTH  END  -  SAISON  DE  TERROIR  WILD  ALE

6.5%
French winemakers use the word ‘terroir’ to describe the influence of the local environment on the wines that they make. We have helped add a big dose of ‘terroir’ into this beer by taking our Saison and re-fermenting it in barrels with a blend of wild yeasts from Waikanae. The result is tangy, lightly tart and extremely fruity.​

NORTH  END  -  SAISON  DU  NECTAR  MANGO  AND  PEACH  SOUR

4.5%
Nectar is derived from the Greek word ‘nektar’, the favoured drink of the gods.  In our brewery we favour Farmhouse style beer, and Saison Du Nectar hits the spot.  The base beer is a Saison, the dried mango in the boil replaces the traditional Saison spices, yoghurt microbes create the sour character, and conditioning on the peaches and adds the extra juiceiness.  The result is a tart, fruity, and refreshing flavour.

CHINCHILLER  -  STRIKE  II  UNFILTERED  PALE  ALE

5.8%
Easy Drinking Unfiltered Pale Ale, Hopped with Nelson Sauvin & Motueka

PARROTDOG  -  RHYS  COCONUT  HAZY  IPA

6.0%
Rhys had a knack for mixing things together in delightful ways. He always made sure the bar was a beautiful blend of drinks and drinkers from all over, and it was his inspired idea to combine coconut with the juicy tropical fruit flavours of a modern hazy IPA — pineapple colliding with sharp citrus and smooth coconut, for a perfect escape.

MCLEODS  -  SUBTROPICAL  STOUT

5.7%
The McLeods take on a classic tropical stout. Well-crafted & warm-fermented, the brewing style is suited to balmy islands & equatorial climes. Expect roasted malts up front with rich,fruity espresso & chocolate notes. Drinks like a slightly-sweetened espresso with a smooth, medium body hinting at alcohol for a touch of winter warmth. Not your average stout. Made in NZ's winterless north for happy indulgence everywhere.

CHINCHILLER  -  TOUCH  MY  WENIS  PILSNER

5.2%
NZ Pilsner -
Appearance: Clear golden pale
Overview: Crisp malty, clean ferment pilsner with touches of stone fruit and citrus
Mouthfeel: Dry finish with a clean bitterness alongside flavours of grapefruit and kumquat
Drinkability: High. Full flavoured

PARROTDOG  -  YELLOWHAMMER  HAZY  PALE  ALE

4.8%
Bright and lively like a parrot, but small and ubiquitous like a sparrow, the Yellowhammer adds a flash of colour and a musical chirp to open spaces all over the country. The way it does a lot with just a little inspires our smooth and refreshing hazy pale ale, streaked with the striking tropical notes of Strata hops.

HEART  OF  DARKNESS  -  SOME  SORCERER  HAZY  IPA

6.5%
This packs way more grunt and flavour than the 6.5% ABV might indicate. Loads of ripe tropical fruit, like a banana smoothie made with a tin of fruit salad blitzed in, but there's just enough citrus and grassy bitterness to hold all the sweetness in check. A creamy, lush mouthfeels creates a chewy, hefty mouthful of beer with a surprisingly dry finish.

TOWNSHEND  -  BLACK  STRAP  PORTER

4.3%
Rich dark and complex, this delicious Porter is creamy, chocolaty and malty, with a hint of espresso.

FORK  -  MA  IS  WHITE  BELGIAN  WIT
