SMILEY

Sun Tan Lotion is Good for Me, You Protect Me Heeheehee! Freshie West Coast Drop Today!

Smiley - West Coast IPA with Mosaic Dynaboost, Peacharine and Citra 6.8% ABV

We have had our eye on Peacharine, a relatively new hop from our favorite NZ farm @freestylehops for a while and finally got a shipment in and immediately needed to brew an explosive Westie with it! Smiley showcases big stone fruit flavors blended with nice citrus and dank notes! We think this might be a new fav, it pops! Ultra Violet Rays bad, West Coast IPA good!!!

Available on Draft and 4-packs to-go!

Local Band Showcase - Hazy IPA with Citra Dynaboost, Strata, Citra, Cashmere and Mosaic Hyperboost 7.0% ABV

We had a rad day brewing, hanging and drinking spaghetts with our friends @radiantbeerco. We pulled out all the tricks for this beer and packed it in! Dynaboost, T90, and Hyperboost!!!???? The results: pure amazing hazy hoppy goodness. Booming with big aromas of tropical mango/pineapple and smarties candies all while keeping a nice resinous citrus backbone that carries through the beer beautifully! Something that would even make the West Coast IPA fans happy! Come by and try this one while its lasts!

“And I suppose I must go alone, if I am to do that and save the Shire!”

Frodo Foggins - Hazy IPA with Motueka and Kohia Motueka Hop Kief 7.2% ABV 

Inspired by our beloved Gandalf the Crisp, we took the base of our NZ style Pils and beefed it up into a mighty foggy one! Pillowy soft with lots of juicy character the @freestylehops Motueka and Kohia Motueka Hop Kief are bursting with notes of lime sherbert, starbursts and tropical fruit.

WATER YUZU DOIN?!

HEY YOU! 

Water Yuzu Doin?! - Gose with Yuzu and Watermelon - 5.0% 

Hehe :) This recipe was crafted in collaboration with our wonderful Taproom Team! They joined us on the brew deck and whipped up a fun and tasty treat for ya’ll. This Gose was dosed with Yuzu puree, Yuzu peel, Watermelon (OH YEA) and Watermelon Terpenes. The result is a tart and refreshingly balanced fruited Gose with undertones of coriander and sea salt.   

We are nothing without our FOH Crew and we’re extremely thankful for the service they provide to you. They’re awesome at maintaining a standard of professionalism that fosters kindness, equality, accountability and respect. Next time you’re in the taproom, thank them for being them and also helping us create this beer!
