The first large commercial breweries producing beers using hops were brewed in London by Flemish immigrants. The porters that followed were aged in large vessels for a number of months resulting in a beer that would have acidity & a brett character not unlike Oud Bruin styles of their home…
Codename: Ryebena. In 2019 we brewed a rye-heavy wort which we put into an oak butt to ferment with our own mixed culture. After several months, it finished fermentation with a good amount of sugar remaining. This sweet, slightly spicy, sour beer needed something special added that would contrast the…
Ever since we began brewing, we’ve always sourced our fruit locally, or by foraging for it ourselves. Back in early 2020, we were checking on our sleeping barrels of golden sour & found 2 that displayed quite clean, crisp, almost tannic notes that we decided would suit perfectly with a…
This is our first variation blend of Folly Road, officially our amber sour base blend, fermented 100% with our own mixed culture. In this case, we didn’t feel the blending of these 2 barrels was enough on their own & decided a further addition of fresh Amarillo hops into the…
Fort Lauderdale – 5.2% Blood Orange Sour IPA dry hopped with El Dorado. Fort Lauderdale is a sour and juicy Orange IPA with plenty of zesty and citrusy hops. This time we changed from Mandarin to Blood Orange for a bloodier bite! It’s like a chewing on a bag of…

Nectaron is likely to become our new favourite and it flies out of the tap room! So you know its gotta be good! Nectaron hops are one of the latest hops to come out of New Zealand, we have paired them up with Citra hops juicy tropical notes to create…
We’ve a theory here in this brewery. We’re pretty dead set on the idea that there’s probably no better three-way combo for creating one of those high-juice, low-bitterness hop bombs we’re so accustomed to making than El Dorado, Citra, and Talus. When used with juuuust the right amount of balance,…
Anyone who has followed the brewery long enough knows that we love to scale up and scale down our hop pairings across various styles. From those halcyon Loka Polly days to the present day, we’ve been scaling up our pairing of Mosaic and Simcoe from that original kick-ass pale, to…
It’s back once after a long long layoff in the shadows! Lupo Capisco first charmed hearts back in the uneasy days of the first Covid lockdown being lifted – a beer brewed for the weather and our opinion that sometimes there’s nothing better after a long day at the brew…
Simcoe, Simcoe, Simcoe. Where would we be without you? A strong contender for our in-house favourite varietal purely on the basis of how adaptable it is, we’ve utilized this slammer on single hop showcases across the board, from DIPA to IPA, now it’s the turn of a more sessionable effort,…

Spezial is our Festbier, and originally a collaboration with our good friends at Lost & Grounded. A classic, simple grist of traditional German lager malt and Hallertau Mittelfruh hops in the boil brings real clarity of flavour. A comforting aroma of freshly baked bread with soft notes of peach and…
This beer showcases the wonderful relationship between Citra and Motueka, with super-bright Lemon, pithy Grapefruit and zingy Lime citrus flavours shining through beautifully here as a result. Pacific Sunrise adds resinous bitterness full of Pine flavours on the backend, here ensuring a balanced and refreshing finish, ultimately producing a highly…
With no IMBC this year, we thought we’d fill the gap with a Block Party in memoriam. BarthHaas X were such a huge part of that festival – sponsoring it for many years – so we got together to brew this Pale Ale, utilising the freshest (2024) hops we could…
Very rarely do we name a beer in such a direct way, we generally prefer references to descriptors. Over the long process of developing all of our blends from brew to barrel to bottle to label, we generally “discover” the names of our blends when we refer to them throughout…
