Pale ale nailed. The orange one. Forever charges on. Tropical hops front with a famously balanced bitterness and light malt base riding quietly in the back. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds' eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.

The troublesome original release, named for the problematic first brew day which hugely emphasised its hop bitterness. It's matured and evolved nicely over the years. Big tropical hop flavour from local varieties with strong bitterness from an English hop to honour its origins, all balanced by plenty of malt.

An ongoing series of occasional one-off beer releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in our Lyall Bay brewery. Limited Release 43 is a Hazy IPA brewed with new season, hand-selected Citra and Mosaic hops from Yakima Chief Hops in Yakima, Washington. A silky, hazy base of oats, wheat and light caramel malt provides a cushy platform for vibrant mango, orange, blueberry and melon character from these expressive hops.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale Ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it's a throwback to the relatively recent past. A Bright deep gold beer with Orange, grapefruit & pine aroma. Taste of Citrus with a balanced malt depth.

Beer with everything except alcohol. Big tropical aroma and a smooth bitterness defy logic in this non-alcoholic Pale Ale.

Super juicy and tropical with punchy flavours of passionfruit, mango and orange. Real East Coast style in this Sawmill classic.

The people's favourite and the king of lagers. This is a New Zealand style Pilsner - clean, crisp and hoppy with a refreshing bitterness.

Sawmill's three most popular brews - Pilsner, Hazy IPA and IPA, in one ready-to-go six pack. Three beers / Two of each / All good.

In 1969, backing the arts in New Plymouth was enough to get you spat on in the street. Then-president of the Operatic Society, John Murphy, copped some ill-directed spray while fighting to save the Opera House from demolition. Thankfully, it wasn't curtains after all, with Murphy's efforts helping ensure the Showplace lived on and continues to host world-class productions to this day. This West Coast IPA celebrates 100 years of the New Plymouth Operatic Society with a proper ensemble of old-school and modern hops. Pine, citrus and tropical resin take centre stage atop a lean malt base, creating a brew that hits like a standing ovation on closing night.

Despite the name, 'German Hill' isn't particularly German at all. It earned its title from the blunt local assumption that any European accent must surely be German - when rather it was Inglewood's influx of Polish immigrants settling there in the area in the late 1800s. Close enough, right? Nestled just outside of Inglewood, the volcanic mound originally known as Atoa Iwa had previously served as a perfect kainga for local iwi, giving commanding views of the surrounding land. It also boasted several clean, bubbling springs of water known for its excellent mineral composition. Raise a stein and give a mighty Prost to this beer, brewed with traditional German malt and hops, with inspiration taken from the pure, fresh springs of German Hill.
