Kiwi Kollektion

West Coast style, using all kiwi hops An aromatic pale celebration of modern hop varieties. Fruity hoppy goodness.

Beware, this is a BIG beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours which are balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold freshness from the hops. If you’re feeling politically incorrect try it with your favourite cigar, or a dram of your best single malt whisky. Or, if your tooth is sweeter, why not jump in at the deep end with the most decadent dessert of all; half a bottle in a glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (beer geeks like us know it as the Imperial Stout Float). Or simply enjoy it on its own as a decadent dessert or night cap - the perfect winter warmer! If you don’t already know the history of Russian Imperial Stouts please check it out on the internet, it’s a good story. But remember, although based on that century-old classic style, this beer is a very modern interpretation, like all our beers!

The "i" might be in lower case, but beware - this is a capital beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours drizzled over a scoop of velvety ice cream. iStout Affogato is balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold, hoppy freshness, remixed by the addition of lactose, coffee, and vanilla in the brew.

An extremely peachy, Websters Peach Tea infused IPA. Accompanied by a solid dosing of Lemon Drop, Citra, Centennial and Amarillo.

Light body, low bitterness and a balanced, fruity New Zealand hop profile makes up our core range pale ale. Designed to be anyone's go-to beer with its lower alcohol and easy drinking qualities. Gold medal NZ Brewers Guild Awards 2017

Brewed with some of the most tropical and lush hops available, flaked oats, and fermented with a blend of English yeast strains, this quaffable number has a vibrant aroma of mango and pineapple plus a full malt body with a light balancing bitterness. Highly flavourful and moreish, this beer gets as close to fruit juice as you can without including any fruit!

Brewed with Columbus and Ella hops creating some nice dank, spicey and piney notes rather than the straight up citrus.

A rather traditional milk stout, taken up a notch by the additional of Cuban and Brazilian coffee, freshly roasted by our friends at C4 Coffee.

Honourably named after New Zealand's national style of barista coffee. A title that has been wrestled away from freeze dried instant coffee and made our country one of the best coffee nations in the world. In our own humble opinion....

Brewed with coffee, vanilla beans and lactose.

You’ve got hot little hands on our annual Valentine’s Day sexual imperial stout. It’s silky smooth, and packed with chocolate, vanilla, honey, figs and maca Root. Share this with someone you love xoxo. 

The Monkey is playful and mischievous in nature.  We like to have fun and play around with our beers.  In doing so we created this Jungle IPA. A cheeky little juicy fruitbomb.  Bright unfiltered, with a full mouthfeel, soft hop bitterness, and flavour for Africa! Welcome to the Jungle.

Beer meets margarita! We've enhanced the natural zesty flavours of a traditional Gose style beer with additions of crushed dehydrated limes, bringing distinct lime freshness to the forefront. Refreshing!

Hopwired was one of the first, true new world IPAs made exclusively with unique NZ hops. In its short life time it has become a modern classic among Kiwi craft beers. Since then, many other IPAs have emerged but we dare say this is still somewhat the benchmark.

Although there is plenty of malt sweetness, this beer is all about the hops. Punchy, aggressive, New Zealand hops that all add up to create wonderful, tropical flavours and aromas. Wine people would talk about waves of passionfruit, limes, tangelos & gooseberries. Luckily we don't have to go to such detail, so you can just enjoy it without further complication.

Cheers!

Strap on your triangle bikini, book the sun bed, it's our first birthday and we're off to Copacabana! But unlike Barry Manilow, our brewery and this Brut IPA are at the forefront of global beer culture.

Emerging from the Northern California beer scene, the Brut IPA style is brewed and fermented so that no residual sugars remain in the beer, giving a light body and sparkling effervescence. If it weren’t for the intense aromas of fresh fruit salad with melon, mango, stone fruit and lemon tart, you'd swear you were drinking a fine champagne.

Bone-dry and spritzy, this hugely aromatic Brut IPA will make you want to dust off the white tuxedo, bust out the hair spray and hit the dance floor... Its Carnival in a can!

This Baltic porter was brewed in NZ at 8 Wired with Polish brewers Browar PINTA in October 2017. Using Polish hops, we combined the Baltic Sea with the Tasman sea.

Oak Aged Barley Wine

An assertive hop forward IPA with an initial sensory explosion of USA West Coast hops bursting with guava, mango and tropical fruit. This is quickly followed by a rich boozy body and a lingering bitterness.

Soft, lush papaya and pineapple aroma and flavours from all New Zealand hops, on top of our juiciest malt base yet. Super smooth, velvety goodness. Limited release from our Haiku range of Hazy IPAs.

The result of ongoing flirtations between an aggressively fierce serving of kiwi hops and a solid distinguished malt character is this love child. So’phisticuffs. As the names suggests she is beautiful, bold balanced and banging, bringing together the quintessential elements of a funkalicious IPA.

Give her a go, she’s a badass lass with a lot of class. 

A big, sticky beast of a stout. Brewed with a good amount of date syrup, aged in Merlot barrels for 12 months and then further rounded off with a touch of vanilla

With the tropical aroma and flavours of sweet pineapple and a hint of fresh mint overlaying a light zesty citrus base, this is the perfect refresher to transport yourself to an island paradise!

Refreshingly bitter. Until you’ve had your first sip it’s hard to imagine these two words being neighbours. With clean hops on the nose and a bright crystal glow, this handcrafted pilsner is highly effervescent, giving it a beautiful head with tight bubbles.

Paying homage to Auckland’s fastest growing beer style, Kingsland Pilsner was created to complement the bubbling excitement of this up and coming neighbourhood. Perfect for the Sunday session, evenings on a city beach or with your night market lamb burger.

Farmhouse Saison

A refreshing, light, hoppy, sour and very fruity tasting ale inspired by traditional Berliner Weisse ales. Naturally soured by live cultures and dry hopped with American and New Zealand hops. Probably the closest thing I have tasted to fruit juice, that didn't contain any fruit at all! - It's a trip!

This IPA was not only brewed with a ludicrous amount of hops but also fermented with brettanomyces bruxellensis. The little critter that many brewers love to love turns a relatively normal beer into something vastly different, complex and rewarding. Super dry, hoppy, funky and more than a little bit fancy.

The clean fruity aroma of this well-balanced pale ale makes it the ideal beverage to enjoy all afternoon. The bright auburn appearance is showcased through a mix of pale malts, and a subtle bitterness comes forward with citrus and spicy undertones.

As a tribute to the home of pale ale, we use English hops and brewing techniques, but with a modern New Zealand take on this British staple. This ensures every sip brings you back to the Brixton pubs in which it was first enjoyed, stopping over at our Kingsland brewery on your way.
