This is where it all began... a garage in New Zealand, some local hops, small cobbled together kit and against all odds an icon was born. Those same hops, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka are still present and correct in this, our love letter to the land of the long white cloud. Carrying all the freshness of a kiwi sauvignon blanc, this is a beer you will keep coming back to. Read Less

We love mexico! not least because of the culinary gifts it has given to the world. Both chocolate and vanilla beans are indigenous to Mexico and nowhere on the planet celebrates the nuances of the chile (not chilli or chili) more than in its homeland. Our love for Mexican culture and food is the reason we made this rich, boozy imperial stout infused with vanilla beans, cocoa, cinnamon, chipotle and mulato chiles.

Sweet, smokey, hot, fruity, delicious. Buen provecho! Read Less

Malt: Golden Promise, Chocolate, Munich, Oats

Nose: Rich Maple and Vanilla
Palate: Maple Sweetness, Vanilla, Rounded Bourbon
The leaves have just started to turn, the chill of autumn is lingering, and we’ve been sitting on some rather special casks for the last few months...

After releasing our incredibly popular imperial brown ale in 2017, the next logical step was to age it. We’ve aged the beer in Heaven Hill Bourbon casks for 6 months then refermented it with Grade A maple syrup. Rich maple and vanilla aroma from the Bourbon wood will tempt your tastebuds before you even take a sip. When you do, you'll be treated to a rich, sticky mouthfeel with a rounded Bourbon flavour, and a sweet, dessert like finish that will leave you looking forward to your next taste. Read Less

It's been talked about in hushed tones and whispers for a while now, but it's finally here.

For the last 7 months, we've been barrel aging and bottle conditioning our incredibly well-loved Mexicake imperial stout. It's something a lot of people asked about, and something that to us made a lot of sense. However, we've aged in not one but two different barrel types; Bourbon, and Brandy.

Bourbon Barrel bring exactly what you'd expect; a little bit of whiskey on the nose and warmth on the finish, and enhances some of the best flavours in Mexicake. On the nose, you get an intense vanilla aroma, the slight spiciness of bourbon highlights the Ceylon cinnamon, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, you get much of the same with a super smooth mouthfeel, and a bit of boozy warmth. Pay close attention, and you'll also get a bit of char and smokiness from the barrel aided by the infusion of Mulato chillies famous for their leathery, tobacco smokiness.

A beautifully decadent beer, it's in very short supply and will not last long. Read Less

Malt: Golden Promise, Barley, Wheat, Oats
Hops: El Dorado
Nose: Lime, Warming Spice
Palate: Chilli Fruitiness, Fresh Pepper, Lime Zest
Jalapeno peppers help to create a really unique, funky jalapeno and lime IPA. Lime compliments the fruitier flavours of the pepper, as well as a generous dry hopping with Motueka.
On first sip it's refreshing with a good balanced bitterness like any of our IPAs, with a tang of lime and hint of tropical, citrus notes from the dry hopping. The more you drink the more that heat builds and you get a really powerful but pleasant jalapeno kick. It somehow manages to be cold and refreshing, and hot and spicy all at once.

Welcome to Helles…

It takes real skill to make a great lager, and we’ve spent a lot of time perfecting our ideal, easy-drinking, flavoursome craft lager. Using as always the very finest Scottish malted barley from our friends at Simpsons Malt and citrusy Mandarina Bavaria hops, our take on a traditional Bavarian style session beer packs a punch.

Refreshingly uncomplicated in style, we ferment it slow and cold to produce a medium bodied, bready lager perfect for any time. Read Less

SHOCK! HORROR!

An experiment with a new yeast strain turns monstrous!

The Alligator Man is the first beer to emerge from our experiments cultivating a Vermont yeast strain; a 9.2% Double IPA packed with Citra, Mosaic, and Rakau. Big and juicy, this is the kind of IPA this strain was made for. The aroma alone will get you salivating, with tropical fruit, ripe mango, apricot and orangey citrus. On the palate, big mouthfeel, citrus, and resin, with a bit of alcohol warmth in the finish.

The Vermont yeast delivers body and a unique fruits ester profile with hints of apricot. Also not very floculent so a bit of a characteristic haze but not too much. Good to have a little yeast in suspension though as it helps carry the flavour.

What hides behind a wall of spectral haze remains a meteorological mystery. One can only speculate on the make-up of this particular phenomenon. Is it juicy? Is it tropical? Is it soft, fruity and approachable? Probably, but the only way to truly know is to lose yourself in the haze.

2017 Edition.
An American original reimagined.

Sit yourself down at the bar, and sip on our rye imperial pale ale aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. For our latest barrel aged concoction, we decided to pay homage to one of the original, classy cocktails that would truly test our ability to balance flavours. What's more, it's in 660ml bottles and hand labelled and wax dipped for that extra touch.

The Old Fashioned takes our well-loved orange and ginger double IPA, and infuses it with the smooth, warming, vanilla character of Heaven Hill’s famous Kentucky straight bourbon. Sweet and rich on the nose, you’ll likely be surprised at just how reminiscent of its namesake it is. The vanilla and oak from the barrel brings out the sweeter notes in the orange and ginger on the palate, but the hops give that distinct bitterness you’d expect in the cocktail itself and a lasting warmth in the finish. It has also been conditioned in bottle, allowing it to develop a rich, smooth texture that goes down a treat.

This has a pale ale base with lots of hops and citrus fruits; you want to taste the freshness. It is not for extended maturation. Despite its bottle conditioning, it will not benefit from extended aging, as we have matured it in barrels already. Read Less
