Description
We are a New Zealand owned brewery run by a small and creative team. We brew clean, flavoursome and balanced beer with a Sawmill edge - the willingness to think for ourselves.
The Brewery was established in 2004 on the site of what was once a local timber mill established in the 1860’s. In February 2016 we moved from the original site in Leigh, and we now work from premises just out of Matakana at 1004 Leigh Road.

44 cL can. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Hoppy fruity aroma. Flavour is medium fruity and solid hoppy bitter. Nice balance really. Light creamy carbonation towards the finish which is mild hoppy.

Can. A hazy light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, but also a light skunkyness. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and what I thought was brewing cereal, but its apparantly not, and a light acidity from the wheat malt. Thanks to Papsoe for supplying this.
