East Coast anthem IPA - A big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing an intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than its bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good.

Explicit Haze Warning: If cloudy beer offends you please drink from the can or close your eyes.

6.2% ABV

The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500's led to a moral panic. 

Hops were condemned as a 'wicked and pernicious weed', one which would lead to the erosion of social and moral standards. Thank goodness they were right. Here?s hoping that our homage to the original pernicious weed continues this gradual decline. Organic Rakau and whole cone Nelson Sauvin go head to head in this strong, golden, hoppy brew. Bitter, yes. Intensely hoppy, absolutely. 

Too much, never.

IIPA - 8% Alc./Vol 

Kettle soured wheat, lightly salted and infused with white peaches - a delicate three way salty, sweet and sour balancing act. A little bit of white mischief in a beer where anything gose.

Brewed for Wellington On A Plate 2015.

Salted White Peach Sour - 2.9% ABV

A truly refreshing cider made with a blend of granny smith apples and passion fruit. Low alcohol and thirst quenching easy to drink cider.

 Gluten Free / Low Alcohol.

A nod to trusty milk cans of old, Billycan, our chocolate milk stout, pours black as night with a creamy off-white head.  Expect aromas of roast malts, coffee and cacao laced with vanilla and rum.  The palate has soft, delicate carbonation with deep chocolate, coffee and licorice to rich, balanced bitterness and around, toasty finish.  Filling a billycan was never so good.  Slainte.

5.5% ABV.

McLeod's take on an English-style Brown Porter and homage to regional ?Pioneers?. Using a classic English ale strain imparts lovely fruity esters that are both 'bready' and lively. With subtle cocoa and chocolate on the palate, it?s a simple-yet-satisfying beer.

McLeod's Scottish Wee Heavy or Strong Scotch Ale incorporates their house English ale yeast and rich, caramel-laden malts. A touch of rye rounds out the native Horopito which lends soft, evergreen notes to the finish. A unique Scotch Ale, it?s the perfect tribute to Waipu?s immigrant Scottish traders who landed at the turn of the last century with fresh hope in a new land of possibilities.

Baby Grand is the beer that will ultimately end up as the North End Grand Cru. Kieran has taken inspiration form this style and aged this beauty in ex Cabernet barrels for 18 months. This beer is heart-stoppingly good.

6% ABV.

North End's interpretation of a traditional Gose combining mild lactic tartness , coriander spicing and a malt accenting salt character. 

5% ABV.

inspired by the wild iron-rich beaches of the west coast we devised a smooth warming stout that combines oats, caramelised 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. 

6.0% ABV.

 Brewed with the beach in mind. Super Alpha takes its name from a local hop variety, boasting zesty citrus, to wash away the salt water after a hard day at the beach, or (not) mowing the lawns.

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Supercharger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce.

It's a seriously addictive combination.

ABV: 5.2%

Toasty aromas, rich malts, light caramel and chocolate flavours. Dark brown in colour with ruby highlights. Reserved hop presence, just enough bitterness to carry the malt. Residual sweetness, lingering mouthfeel.

6.5% ABV

Our Hippy Berliner was such a success that we ebbed to consumer demand and brewed a special edition with the addition of cooling cucumber. Bursting with sweet cucumber notes, balanced by lemon peel and tropical fruits. 

On the palate this beer is puckering, but very refreshing, full of cucumber, citrus and balanced by light hopping, finishing very clean. 

Cool as a cucumber, dude.

4.5% ABV

Our Flander's Red- Red Bonnet Original, aged in a Waitaki Pinot Noir barrel for one year. Further aged for six months on North Otago sour cherries, with further bottle ageing. Cherry flavour is full with coconut nuances.
