Driftwood Session Pale Ale at 5% ABV is an easy drinking and tasty pale ale. Brewed with predominantly Riwaka hops from Nelson, and supported by a couple or American hop stars; Amarillo and Citra, plus a handful of specialty malts from Gladfield Malt on Canterbury plains, NZ.

The pilsner is brewed to a classic European recipe using 100% New Zealand malt and Saaz hops. This gives it a traditional hop bitterness, flavour and aroma of a true pilsner.

This is a lean, mean Pils machine! Loosely based on the north Germanic style of dry bitter lager. Simple Gladfield pils malt base fermented as dry as possible with a load of new world German hops biffed into the middle of the boil for that cracking herbal hop bitterness.

Subtle and snappy attributes of lime, pear, grapefruit and apple come forward with a nose that exhibits almost kerosene and diesel notes from the Riwaka dry hop.

The natives have gone wild for this lager trouvé, a dry japanese style lager made from salubrious brown rice, German braumalz and 2 types of organic hops from beautiful British Columbia, then brewed with rain water from West Auckland. Not only that, its processed with an en.

Lush stonefruit and orange marmalade characters from the heady combination of American hops sit above the earthy caramel and toffee notes of the rich malt body. A warming and weighty mouthfeel makes for a restorative pint as the weather cools.

Here's to Andy Warhol; a pop art pioneer who was prolific in taking what’s familiar and re-stylising it in his own unique and unapologetic style, destroying the borders between high art and popular culture. This beer's a nod to him, with our re-created version of your classic Pilsner.

Winter has come and gone and finally given way to Summer, bringing all that is good - including the return of this beauty - our Rooty Toot Toot! It is back by popular demand and it's better than ever!! The tartness from the kettle-souring gives this delicious Gose style sweet and salty flavours. It is packed with an abundance of the same flavours as the first time around, all coming from the family of fresh roots we use - fresh Ginger, Turmeric & Galangal and now includes this year’s new addition….carrots!

Here's to Jean-Michel Basquiat; a rare example of how an 80s graffiti-based and counter-cultural practice could become a fully recognized and critically embraced artistic phenomenon.

Our latest core range addition is this carefully crafted IPA. We went to great lengths to ensure this beer can be appreciated for its complexity without the excessive hop smack to the taste buds as seen with many ‘over the top’ IPA examples. Using a selection of malts and generous dry hop additions we have created a pale amber hued beer with a soft malt mouthfeel, a smooth round aroma and a long bitter finish. Typical stone fruit, citrus and resiny tones as you would expect, resulting in a crisp and drinkable IPA at 5.9% ABV.

Our latest Offcut is a hybrid style between a juicy pale ale and a Belgian witbier. On the aroma is big notes of tropical fruit juice and grapefruit zest, with a background of spice notes due to the Wit yeast and light spicing with coriander and chamomile. The taste begins full and reminiscent of over-ripe fruit, which is then cleansed from the palate by the beers dryness. Highly fruity and refreshing but with depths of character usually absent in either of the parent beer styles.

A quaffable, cloudy white ale that is perfect for those afternoon sessions after a hard day's work or play. A perfumy coconut and vanilla note on the nose, with a little citrus and spice, and bready grains from the wheat.

The Hoppiest thing you've ever tasted. So hoppy, our brewers got kicked out of bed by their wives the night they were testing it because they were sweating hops! A huge Double IPA, infused with our own Hop Oil giving an incredible resinous hop mouthfeel.

From our Totem Project of West Coast IPAs comes Wisdom. Citra, Comet and Cascade give a big citrus hop flavour and aroma, on top of a lighter malt base including Vienna that makes for a very drinkable West Coast IPA

This Kiwi classic has won too many awards (and fans) to mention on here. Delicious is the only way to describe this cider. If you can imagine a freshly baked slice of apple crumble served with vanilla ice cream… this sums up the taste of this beautifully balanced cider perfectly.
