Brewing beyond boundaries both real & imagined.
from complex to crushable
Curious, unconventional, and always experimental, we’re driven by the pursuit of possibility. Established in 2015, we were inspired by North America’s growing craft beer scene and set out to explore new ways of brewing. Today, we make a mix of core beers, rotating seasonals, small-batch releases, and craft sodas.
We tested our hypothesis that something beyond pale in colour can be beyond powerful in tropical hoppy flavour and proved ourselves oh-so right with this beer. Brewed with our neighbours and lab partners, Establishment Brewing, this hazy IPA required meticulous precision and called for the most advanced low-oxygen brewing tools and techniques in existence—in addition to heaps of NZ Freestyle Hops, of course.
NEW Releases
Lobby Lager | West Coast Lager 4.5%
6 × 355ml Cans
In collaboration with Class Clown Hamburgers.
Clued-up folks know to go to Class Clown a little early and grab a sneaky lobby beer before the table’s ready. Standing room only. This is a crisp, no-nonsense lager built for the in-between.
Think of it as a West Coast IPA brewed like a Pilsner. The malt profile is clean and dry, letting a healthy dose of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops come through. Served ice-cold, light, snappy and gone before your name gets called.
This item is only available for pickup at the Annex taproom.
4 × 473ml Cans
Come on in, the water's beer.
Specifically, it's a Pacific Ale: an Australian style known to be easy-drinking and heavily hopped. This one is particularly vibrant in comparison to a Pale Ale thanks to the hops' bright, fruity character that we dialed up heaps with actual mango—hence the bright orange pour. It's heavy on tropical flavour and practically floats over the tongue like the juicy cloud it is.
If you like mango Hi-Chews, you're gonna wanna choose this beer.
Taproom Pickup Only, Not Avalible to Ship.
