JUST DROPPED | SMOOTH BRAIN JUICY PALE ALE 🧠

Walk in with a head full of problems. Walk out with none, literally.

The old barber doesn't do much talking. But he does do a mean detail.

Amarillo, Citra Incognito & Nectaron. Mango, passionfruit, citrus. Soft, juicy, dangerously smooth.

No questions asked. No problems left.

In-store and online now 🍺

JUST DROPPED | GUARD GOOSE AMERICAN IPA 🪿

Moonlit walls. A knotted rope. The sweet smell of freedom. Nobody told him the guard was a goose.

Tropical passionfruit, stone fruit, clean bitter finish.

A ridiculously good IPA from a man who absolutely did not make it. Great plan though, mate. Escape was never an option.

In-store and online now 🍺

JUST DROPPED | SUMMONING GROUNDS COFFEE PORTER ☕🕯️

Dave said, "Let's brew a coffee beer."

Alex the Brewer heard, "Let's find a cursed grimoire, wear cloaks, and birth a malt-driven caffeine monster.

Cloaks were worn. A grimoire was consulted. Kindred's Milkman & Java beans were sacrificed to the malt gods. Dark chocolate notes emerged.

Warning: may cause spontaneous chanting and extreme satisfaction.

Canned, tapped, and available in-store and online now 🍺

DROPPING TODAY | SAVE US NZ PILSNER 🐑

Our Graphic Designer is on pat leave. We forgot the art brief. Al and Jake grabbed crayons... and here's what happened.

A crisp, zesty NZ Pilsner brewed with Riwaka and Moteuka hops; bright, refreshing, and absolutely carrying the team right now. The beer is great. The art is... present 🖍️

We brew killer beer, but clearly can't draw giant kiwi sheep. Shan, if you're reading this, please come back. We're struggling. We will send a chopper 🚁

Canned, tapped, and available in-store and online now 🍺

Shan, please hurry.
