Fresh Crux is just 😍😍😍 Did you know every beer in our brewery is unfiltered and unfined? Minimal intervention, maximum flavour. The way it should be. #Freshcrux https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ak68JJ8xb/?igshid=11814vzhe2ihe

These hot summer days require something worth crushing. Crush is our irreverent take on the classic lager. delicately balanced with our buddies Ahtanum, Motueka and Bravo. This clean and crisp lager brings lemon flowers, rose water and freshly grated lime. We are often asked about lagers, some people disregard them as being uninteresting mass produced rubbish. Did you know that lagers are without a doubt the hardest beer to brew? At this time the brewer is left naked, there's no hiding. These beers have to be brewed with the most ultimate of care to bring that ultimate balanced, crisp refreshment. Crush had been an in house favourite for while. Go get some. #Lagerlagerlager #yum https://www.instagram.com/p/B7pGGL6JQxo/?igshid=1c0j0t73p25m5

Psychotropic has been selling out all over place, so we've decided to keep her in the line up for a while longer. An all out tropical wave of hops thanks to, Citra, Ekuanot, Motueka and Bravo. Malted oats and torrefied wheat give texture and a creaminess beyond belief. Check out that sublime colour on this fresh fresh fresh batch. #Sublime #whatevenisxpa https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KZJ6vps1W/?igshid=zsq3dxurc607

We decided to buy ourselves a Christmas present, and she arrived at the brewery today. 2000 more litres every fortnight should keep your thirst at bay. It should also free up space for some new delicious releases! Watch this space. #Shinyshinyshiny #Christmaspresent #thankssanta https://www.instagram.com/p/B6PvvCBpQS-/?igshid=1pd6k8o53w8jb
