We have collated a rare selection of special 8 Wired brews picked from the depths of our barrel library. This is a collectors box set which tells the tale of our exploration into barrel ageing beers. We reach right back in history to our 18th batch in 2011 and gather a variety of our barrel brew adventures from over the years. These are all very rare sights on shelves, so take this opportunity to add to your beer library with some greats that have been aged to perfection.

We have updated the website with a ton more options. You can keep your fridge stocked up with 4 x 6 Packs of our fave beers, our get some new special beers for your cellar with our range of Barrel Aged 500ml bottles (minimum of six per order due to shipping requirements). Take a look through our online store, and see what tickles your fancy. Then get it delivered right to you... how easy.

Check out this post from Michael Donaldson on Beer Nation...

excerpt - "Brewer Soren Eriksen describes Bumaye as the “baddest” beer he’s brewed. It’s a barrel-aged imperial stout that packs an Ali-esqe punch of 16 per cent ABV. But it also has Ali’s “float like butterfly” silkiness as it glides smoothly across your palate.

Bumaye is made to be shared, and not just because of its heavyweight alcohol level. The flavour is just intense and even a 330ml bottle could be too much of a sensory overload. Aged for three years in pinot noir barrels, Bumaye is built on layers complexity that feature chocolate, stewed fruits, a savoury note that resembles sweet soy sauce, some tannins, vanilla, and a concentrated spiciness with echoes of cinnamon or all spice.

All of which makes it an impossible beer to drink in a hurry."

This is a special beer, one of our favourite yearly seasonals and one we take great pride and care in brewing.

We take beer brewed and barrelled the previous year then add literally a tonne of fresh local feijoas. Manually cutting 1000kg of fruit is a great team building experience!
