Born with a rugged smoothness, this beer stands out like a Grizzly on its hind legs. The lightly burnt malt character that delivers chocolate coffee mocha flavours neatly combines with a bit of grainy, dark malt dryness on the finish. Add to this aging on bourbon barrel wood to further enhance the smoothness and bring faint vanilla aromas, and the rest is magic. So satisfying that it brings a session-ability that is hard to resist. Beware the Grizzly, he may sneak up on you! 6% ABV

American Pale Ale

If you like pale ales there aren’t many that don’t dig solid troppo flavours and aromas. Yes, mainly multiple additions of American hops pushing our local footprint but damn they’re good. Don’t worry, we’ll plant some trees….actually. But first chop those pineapply hops. Cryogenesis completed. Drink cold and fresh.

We love sour beers, and with sunny drinking weather on the way we figured we’d take a crack at an Imperial this time around. The idea coming from a beloved English pudding – Eton Mess.
We have thrown in every berry we could get our hands on and topped it all off with lashings of vanilla and milk sugar. Our new favourite dessert.

Skunk Juice is Shining Peak’s answer to the ‘Haze Craze’ of the last few years. Hazy IPAs originated in the North Eastern states of the US and are brewed to be soft, juicy, pillowy IPAs that differ vastly from the more aggressively bittered IPAs of the West Coast. Brewed with a good portion of wheat and oats in the mash to promote a soft, silky mouthfeel, Skunk Juice is also brewed with canny water chemistry and strictly only late addition hops to restrain any potential hop bitterness. The hops used are Citra and Mosaic which gives this beer a big, tropical punch-bowl of aroma and flavour that drinks like a glass of Fruit Juice.

In the south of Germany, Brewers make crisp, clean, malt accented golden lagers that they call 'Helles' after the German word for pale. Pacific Blonde is our take on the Helles style lager; using a blend of New Zealand and German malt, herbal New Zealand hops, and a traditional German yeast strain. Crisp and refreshing Pacific Blonde strikes a tight rope balance between ready malt and herbal hops that makes the perfect antidote to a hot summers day.

Continuing on from our latest delve into new zealand hopped beers comes this flightless and fuzzy nz pale pale.
