Chew Chong of Canton, knew nothing of Saison. What he did know, however, was how to make a buck, specifically with fungus and milk. He initially made his fortune extracting fungus from decaying Taranaki native trees and exporting them back to China as a delicacy. Then, from his dairy factory in Eltham, he was the bright spark who created the famous pound of butter. Shining Peak brewed this Belgian style Saison 'farmhouse ale' in his honour, using traditional Belgian 'fungus' (otherwise known as yeast) while nodding to his Kiwi heritage with a hint of Kawakawa and Horopito.

Charlie the Cockatoo - a feathered New Plymouth icon - lived until the ripe old age of 40, mostly situating himself alongside the Tea Rooms at Pukekura Park. A brief disappearance in 2013 had people guessing that he'd flown the coop, or worse, had gone to 'visit the farm'. Rather, he had been relegated to an aviary around the back of Brookland's Zoo, quite possibly due to the swear words that he had learned from dastardly teenagers. It appeared that Rehab served him well, however, as Charlie landed back at his usual perch for many more years entertaining locals and visitors alike. This Hazy IPA is brewed with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Peachrine, Citra, and offers up flavours of juicy stone fruit, passionfruit and citrus.

Crisp, refreshing, a trusted mate after a long day.

A cloudy mystery, as adventurous as a Kiwi summer.

For the focused, who play as hard as they work.

Brewed in honour of American bootleggers from the Prohibition days, this APA is loaded with malt characters, citrus notes, all-American aroma hops and a crisp bitter finish. Enjoy it before someone makes fun illegal again.

Crammed full of the tastiest bits of the South Island. With NZ hops and a selection of malts sourced from 'the Mainland', this hop-forward pale ale with citrus aromas, toffee malts and a smooth amber base.

Full flavoured & dripping with drama, with Ale & Wheat malts and packed full of local and exotic aroma hops. This lightly hazed Pale Ale is true to style with a tropical, juicy fruit aroma lingering aloft a heavyset malt body. De-lish

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.

Do your eyes deceive you or is that a ghostly galleon laden with a bounty of juicy hops hidden in the mist? Set sail into the hazy unknown for a supernaturally fruity burst of tropical and citrus flavours followed by an eerily smooth finish. Hazy IPAs are characterised by juicy flavours, a big viscous mouthfeel and very smooth bitterness along with turbidity or cloudiness, giving the resulting beverage the appearance and flavour of a refreshing glass of alcoholic fruit juice.

Mac's Three Wolves is an elaborate Pale Ale, bursting with citrus and tropical notes & a well-balanced bitterness. Inspired by the Latin name for Hops, Humulus Lupulus, which translates into 'Wolf of the Woods', Mac's Three Wolves Pale Ale features US hops Simcoe and Amarillo, as well as local hero Nelson Sauvin. Three hops, three wolves, one very tasty Pale Ale. The trans-Pacific trifecta of hops will really give your tastebuds something to howl about.

A Mac's take on the NEIPA (New England-style IPA), brewed to be lower in bitterness than traditional IPAs, but still very generously hopped, both in the brewhouse and dry-hopped in fermentation, with an emphasis on producing juicy, tropical fruit flavours. The large amount of dry-hopping is also what gives the beer its hazy appearance. And at 5.2% ABV it makes for a very sessionable brew.
