Opened in 1990. Specialising in British style ales. All the ales have good body, generous hop rates and full malt flavours are apparent in all my ales. These are genuine ales using a British Ale yeast and are made by traditional methods - most unusual in New Zealand !

P.B.A - Pale Ale - colour light amber. some bitterness, full hop flavour and distinctive hop aromath,malty flavour and malt aromas. O.G. 1.048
P.D.A - Dark Ale - deep garnet colour. Hop bitterness, full complex malt flavours and aromas O.G. 1.048
Mammoth - Very full-flavoured strong ale. Well hopped, good hop aroma. Full-bodied malt floavours. Very dark amber/garnet colour O.G. 1.072
Pachyderm Stout - Irish style stout. very dark and full-bodied. Lots of hops. Although alcohol content is only about 3.8%, this is a very grunty stout
Special and Seasonal beers will be available from time to time depending on my creative energy!

P.B.A. and Mammoth are dry-hopped in the secondary fermentaion/conditioning stage. All ales are naturally conditioned - i.e. not by external addtion of CO2
