Description
State of Kind Brew Co launched in spring 2021. As you can imagine, it’s taken a fair bit of planning, and yes, you’re right, we basically started a brewery in the middle of a global pandemic. This isn’t quite as crazy as it sounds. In a funny way, it’s ideal: if we can make it work now, we can make it work any time, whatever the world throws at us. We’re launching first as a gypsy brewer, with four gorgeous core beers created using spare capacity on the premises of some kind, creative and brilliant brewing friends. But we don’t plan to stay on the move for long. Once the pubs have fully re-opened and we’ve recovered from the celebrations, the plan is to launch our very own state-of-the-art brewery and taproom. Hopefully, if all goes to plan, by the time Christmas 2021 rolls around you can come and say cheers in person...

It opened its own brewery and taproom in Summer 2022.

Can. Have I heard it on Vinyl? Yes boys, it goes sscrchh, click, sscrchh click click pop pop etc. Tis why CD was invented, tis why CD is superior. And yes, I grew up with vinyl. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, slightly thin, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodies pale malts, a decent creamy sweetness nonetheless. Crisp pine hop intro. A surprising and pleasing bitter edge. Ripeish peach led stone fruits and orange citrus with some orange marmalade. Strata missing in action. Light finish. A tidy IPA, coulda got a bit more from the Peacharine but that is a nit pick..

Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a slightly thin mouthfeel but a decent creamy sweetness delivered. Manalita hops! Hard to pin their core character down when it's in with Citra and Mosaic, not that Mosaic is doing much here. So, light cooling pine into juicy bright fruity array that is hard to pick apart. Citra more obvious on the back end. Finishes light and crisp and with a modest hop spice. Nice APA, clean and crisp and very drinkable and Manilta definitely doing interesting things here, just not sure exactly what they are!

Can. Hazy gold beer, good size pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Airy pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Eggers Special hops, I believed to be a hop blend, but it's a new hop! Hop spice starts to nibble. Soapy pine. A kinda Motueka lime. More hop spice and it's now starting to burn a tad. Light herbal vibe. Smooth finish. Interesting hop. The soapy aspect starts to fade as the beer warms up. The hop spice is pretty ferocious by the time all is said and done. Informative and pretty drinkable IPA.
