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.

On hand pull at the Lumsden. Aroma is nice. Creamy coffee, little rye spice and a chocolate note too. Taste has the same base notes, but in a very watery body that carries plenty of it away. Ends up a bit weak tasting and a very thin texture.

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Aroma is fairly nondescript IPA. Flavour is great though, with a bunch of bitter and sour grapefruit notes. Delicious.

Copper with a creamy head. Earthy hops, crusty bread malt, a bit of dry bitterness on the tongue. Finishes really nice with light bitterness and a smooth coating. Medium full body. Good stuff. Would have gone multiple rounds with this one if I’d had more time.

Draft at Goldings Free Dive. Hazy reddish amber color, tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Aromaof lightly spiced brown bread. Taste is nicely spiced caramel. Hi carbonation detracts slightly from thr falvor and character. Still a good brew.
