RHYME  X  REASON  -  SUNS  OUT  MANGO  &  APRICOT  SOUR

4.4%
Sun's Out is RxR's latest sour to quench your thirst and introduce some fruit into your life. We started with a traditional kettle sour, then pumped it up with 120 kilos of mango and apricot added straight to the fermenter. The juicy, dank stonefruit notes are backed up with an assertive but well-balanced tartness with plenty of body. It pours a beautiful hazy-orange hue, and at a crushable 4.4%, would not be out of place at the breakfast table, the river, a wine and cheese pairing, options are endless.

DOUBLE  VISION  -  THE  CLASSIC  LAGER

Lager is a funny style - people often overlook how difficult it is to brew a good, clean, crisp lager. Wonder on, everyone. Double Vision have done it. Classic. 

MCLEODS  -  NORTHERN  LIGHT  LAGER

2.3%
Classic Lager Taste. Half the size. Meet 2.3% ABV Northern Light Vienna Lager. Crisp lager profile upfront with cracker-like aroma.

A tart and refreshing mixed berry sorbet sour. Brewed with Blackberries, Boysenberries and Raspberries.

NORTH  END  -  IRON  SANDS  OATMEAL  STOUT

6.0%
Inspired by the wild iron-rich beaches of the west coast we devised a smooth warming stout that combines oats, caramelized rye, and chocolate wheat malt with our fruity English yeast strain and some lightly zesty Nelson hops. The result is a stout fit to fortify against wild west coast winter storms and the perfect match to a night beside the fire. Smooth, rich stout. Fruity notes with layers of chocolate and coffee.​

WAITOA  -  KIA  ORA  PILSNER

4.8%
Just like BBQs, Reggae, and Rugby, Kiwis have gone and done it again by discovering a distinctive NZ take on a foreign classic.

The subtle malt and light bitterness of a classic Czech Pils fused with the unmistakable aromas of local Motueka and Nelson Sauvin hops.

Say Kia Ora to a Kiwi classic.

HEART  OF  DARKNESS  -  SOME  SORCERER  HAZY  IPA

6.3%
Tropical fruit punch meets beer. Opaque and hazy straw color. Big aromas of banana, papaya, and mango with citrus and stone fruit supporting. Smooth and creamy body. More (very) ripe tropical fruit in the mouth. The finish is smoothie-like that gently drys out. 

TOWNSHEND  -  AOTEAROA  PALE  ALE

5.0%
A long white cloud of fresh flavours ‘It’s Kiwi as’. This massively hoppy aromatic pale ale, contains deliciously local hops for a kiwi version of the ever popular IPA. It is also quenchingly bitter, while still having great balance and mouthfeel.

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? 

HEY DAY  -  NELLY  TANGELO  WHEAT  PALE  ALE

The second in our Endemic Series, celebrating species native to Aotearoa and our fully NZ hopped beers ! Coccinella Leonina or "Nelly" ladybirds are ONLY found here in NZ. Nelly brings big full mouth creaminess that finishes dry and fruity thanks to the tangelo. Best enjoyed outdoors.
