We built our brewery in an 80-year-old former pool hall and bowling alley with the goal of maintaining the building’s history while producing well-balanced American brews 10 barrels at a time. Proudly brewing since the summer of 2013 with no intentions of slowing down, striving to continuously produce products that our community can take pride in

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a modest creamy sweetness. Fairly savoury hops. Riwaka exotics immediately obvious if hard to pull apart, as usual. A touch of ripe citrus. Back end brings mild skunk and subtle peel notes, some lime peel. Interesting dipa with a darker feel. Rich and sinkable.

Again, lot of juice, but more hop to it, though the carbonation leaves you wanting more. Thanks Barry!

Good flavor, very juicy, but the lack of carbonation takes away from it a bit. Thanks Barry!

Keg at Ms.Hammer Taproom, Beijing. Murky straw colour, faint head. Grassy nose with apricot, grass and grspes. Sweet with nesr full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity, porridgy malt. Overripe tangerine and msngo. Husky finish with serious hop burn. TBH this is neither a looker, nor pleasant to drink. Expensive ingredients, but lack of talent.

16oz can from Tavour. Cream colored pour, sticky residue coats the glass. Aroma is bananas and graham crackers. Taste is banana cream pie, milky, sweet and stunningly delicious.

Thanks Matt!
Real nice juice. Sat on it a little too long, don’t really get that hop burn I like, but the juice is charged.
Wanted to get this drink photographed with The Ghost, but haven’t seen him recently.

Aromas are sweet tart blend of stone, tropical and citrus fruits. Flavors are similar to nose and a little more sweet than tart. Full bodied with okay carbonation. Finish follows flavors but gets a bit more tart. Pretty good.

Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, starts smooth, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, quite light, a decent creamy sweetness. Soft pine. Aggressive hop spice grabs hold and never lets go. Soft citrus hops. A little stone fruits. Mild Motueka lime. Light finish. The hop spice just keeps going and is now burning the softer parts of me north and south. Punky!
