Our Brews

Our beer is inspired by the legendary Kiwi can-do mentality and fellow craft brewers who have dared to challenge the masses and show us all that beer is no longer “just beer”!  Expect unique brews, expect ingenuity in flavour.

Batch 18

We always wanted to do something unique for our 8th batch but it came around so fast that we had to meet demand for our existing beers.

Tall Poppy

This is an ale that is not afraid of standing tall among other great beers. The intense, sharp and fruity hoppiness is backed by its complex, caramel-like malty structure. Big, yet refreshing.

Hopwired IPA

We're pretty sure HopWired is the first bottled new world India Pale Ale made with NZ grown pale ale malt and 100% unique NZ hops

Saison Sauvin

Saisons have been around for ages. Traditionally brewed by Belgian and French farmers to provide refreshment during harvest.

iStout

Beware, this is a BIG beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours which are balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold freshness from the hops.

Rewired

Chances are that this is unlike any brown ale you have ever tasted: it's malty, hoppy, roasty, flavoursome and refreshing.

The Big Smoke

We’ve taken our best porter recipe and added a good measure of that same Bamberg Rauchmalz. The smoke mingles beautifully with the rich, dark roasted chocolate flavours of the porter without being overpowering

HayWired

HayWired is our take on a refreshing summer beer. It is brewed with 50% wheat malt, but is no Belgian Wit or German Hefeweizen. It's something a bit different.

The Sultan

Originally named The Sultan of Swing, I have brewed this beer every year since I started home brewing.

Black Dwarf

A mongrel of styles stout: The malt bill is like a sweet stout. The hops resemble a hoppy NZ pale ale. Fermented with a Belgian yeast strain and dry-beaned with CRP "Accelerator" coffee.
