🍍Nectar Oil Session IPA (Limited Edition)
Packed with juicy pineapple, passionfruit, peach and citrus notes provided by six fantastic hop varieties! Nectar Oil lives up to its name—smooth, golden, and packed with flavour without overpowering your senses. It’s a light, super-sessionable IPA with big aroma and a mellow bitterness that makes it easy to go back for another pint (or two). Ideal for sunny sessions and spring socials.
🌊 Sea Breeze Session IPA (Limited EDITION)
As crisp as a coastal walk, Sea Breeze is our zesty, tropical inspired session IPA. Expect bursts of passionfruit, lime, and a touch of pine thanks to a blend of Citra, Simcoe, Idaho 7, Sabro, and Nectaron hops. Crafted for easy drinking, it delivers a refreshing hop explosion with a crisp, dry finish.
🍑 Nectaron Pale Ale
Say hello to the hop that’s taking the craft world by storm. Our Nectaron Pale Ale puts this superstar New Zealand hop front and centre, with its luscious notes of pineapple, peach, and citrus. A medium-bodied pale ale that brings a tropical twist to the season. Sunshine in a pint glass. ☀️
🥝 New Zealand Pilsner
Crisp, clean, and dry with a punch of Southern Hemisphere flair. This New Zealand Pilsner is a lager with attitude, showcasing fresh lemon-lime zest, subtle floral character, and a firm, satisfying bitterness. Pilsner / Lager lovers looking for something exciting and refreshing, this one’s for you.
🌿 East Kent Gold
A true easy drinking British classic. East Kent Gold is a golden ale built on the backbone of one of England’s most iconic hops. Smooth, subtly herbal, with a biscuity malt base—it’s comforting, balanced, and extremely quaffable.
🥂 Brut Force Dry IPA
For those who like things dry, sparkling, and easy drinking. Brut Force is our champagne-style IPA with a bone-dry finish and vibrant hop aroma. Think effervescent citrus, subtle tropical notes, and a crisp snap at the end—this one’s made for toasting to spring.
🍺 Birra Italia
Inspired by the clean, smooth lagers of Northern Italy, Birra Italia is a bright, lightly malty brew with a touch of floral hop character. It’s the kind of beer that goes perfectly with pizza, BBQ, sunshine, or just relaxing in the garden.
