Description
Owner Matt, developed the Boneface craft beer brand from a love of all things beer and sci-fi. All beers are cleverly crafted to incorporate Planet Hoptron (that’s the Planet of Hops, if you are wondering), and it’s inhabitants.
Bringing the goodness of Planet Hoptron to Upper Hutt was a no-brainer – Matt’s brewing background and passion for craft beer fit perfectly into the burgeoning Upper Hutt craft beer mecca. Whilst brewing the favourites, he’s always in a parallel universe, developing new and innovative craft beer flavours for you to try.

Bottle. Cloudy amber with a tightly packed 1.5 white head. Assertive aroma of kumquat, under-ripe mango, pine, pineapple, bread. Not all that distinctively Kiwi tbh. Medium bodied. Not as clean as it might be but lots of fruit and resin with a loud bitter end.

On tap at Bin 44, Auckland. A big hoppy APA, a bright amber pour with a tight white head; and a peach aroma; then a strong aromatic bitterness and a rich malty body giving a touch of sweetness. Rather good.
