Description
Baylands was started back in 2012 as a small brewery based on Baylands Drive in Newlands, Wellington. The brewery was in a double garage under the house with a 300L system but quickly outgrew that space and moved to Petone in 2014 with a 1200L brewery.
The first Baylands beer was launched at Goldings Free Dive, a popular freehouse dive bar in Wellington in May 2013 and it's been full steam ahead since then.
We now have a 2500L brewery in the heart of vibrant Petone with a large tasting room with 30+ taps of beer, wine, spirits and great bbq style burger & taco menu.

Hazy pale blond colour with lasting thin head. It's all about mouthfeel with a smooth and creamy texture. Soft tropical fruit notes. Lacking in bitterness but simple and easy to drink.

Can. Hazy gold with a cm + of white head. Aroma of spiced citrus, pine, light bread. Soft texture despite quite high carbonation. Light bodied but with firm bread under fruit and spices. Dryish and fairly bitter at the end. Very refreshing, highly drinkable. Nice one.

Clear heavily carbonated reddish copper body and modest foam, smells of semi biscuity malt and strong oily hops. Almost pushing into floor cleaner territory but not quite there. Flavour is heavy malts with sweet biscuit notes. Full on the mouth and abv is very well hidden. This is working quite nicely.
