Description
Down in New Zealand we’re at the edge of the world, and that sort of isolation can do strange things to your thinking! But sometimes strange is good and our beer reflects New Zealand inventiveness and creativity. We have taken the best of the old world styles and given them a new world twist.
Formed in 2016, we set about to challenge the notion that NZ breweries could only export to Australia and Asia, or that the US was the future for our beer.
We wanted to bring our beer to where it all began, where the customer was starting to demand something more innovative and exciting in their pint glass, and to where the local brewing scene was fast becoming the most exciting in the world.
For us beer quality, variety and the NZ ingredients are just as important as the people we drink them with.
As we have evolved so too has our offering. We now exclusively import 8 New Zealand Breweries, one Australian brewery, a cider producer and distribute and export a New Zealand brewery that has set up in the UK.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours jet black with a dissipating tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, sweet, sticky, vanilla ice cream, hot caramel sauce, stroopwaffel, honeycomb crunch, milky coffee, chocolate and toffee. The taste is bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, toasty, slick, touch of coffee, chewy liquorice, caramel, vanilla, toffee, stroopwaffel, milk chocolate, toffee crisp, touch of alcohol with a smooth toasty finish. Fulsome body and fine prickly carbonation. Fun stuff. Aroma is quite intense and sweet, but thankfully the taste is a touch more toned down.

The aroma is sweet, very juicy, thick, pulpy, tropical, mango, passion fruit, nectarine, touch green, weedy, fruit smoothie and floury bread. The taste is thick, juicy, pulpy, smooth smoothie vibes, crazy fruity and tropical, mango, peach, papaya, passion fruit, guava, twist of citrus, kiwi, lime, melon, weedy, dank, bong rips and some alcohol boost with a drying finish. Medium-fulsome body and moderate carbonation. Big a powerful. Enjoyable.
