Had one of those absolutely epic all-time glassy summer evening sessions on the points? No better way to reflect and wind down than smashing a few session pale ales on the hill as you watch the lines pulse through and the sunset light up the west. Am I dreaming? Actually you are. You’re on kid duty and your partner's gone to Wednesday night Yoga and there’s no light left, you’ve missed it. You’ll hear all about it tomorrow. Lightly fruity and citrusy but restrained bitterness – cause that’s how you feel. Read Less

What do you do when the local chocolate dealer say’s ‘hey I got a big pile of insanely aromatic organic Madagascan cacao bean husks I don’t need’? After trying to eat the box cause it smells so damn good, you cram the lot (a-lot!) into a deluxe choc milk stout…of course! Slightly sweet, and velvety smooth with a good whack of specialty roasted malts from our mates down south. Darth says it’s pretty much winter now and reckons it’s about the right time to join the dark side.
*Contains lactose and a lot of cacao husks, thanks Mike!

Our Alchemist house yeast ‘66sixtus’ awoke from dormancy and the beast was hungry, very hungry. So we fed it, a lot. Chomping through hand-made candy sugars, unrefined cane goodness and some awesome NZ malts, the beast yeast leaves a subtle trail of raisin, prune and plum before counting to 12 and going into a satiated slumber once more. Heavy duty, share with a good friend that likes big Belgian style dark beers. Aged for at least 6 months. Can cellar for at least 3 years. Best at 10-12°C Read Less

The male bee, or drone has a short but charmed existence. His sole purpose is to go trawling for virgin queens. If he fails, he grovels back to hive to kick back and refuel with more honey for another mission. Life is too short to drink bad beer, kick back like a lazy drone and pour yourself one of these. Savour the notes of early season Raglan honey, toasted coriander and subtle orange peel. Best around 8°C. Read Less

We packed so many awesome ingredients into this bad boy we actually needed to redesign our alchemist brew-sheet just to fit them on. Carefully selected specialty South Island malts bring caramel, cherry and light roasted coffee notes. Need more?… how about some ‘Raglan Chocolate’ cacao bean husks, local honey and unrefined dark sugars? …oh yeah, and a solid whack of NZ bittering hops to balance out the bitter-sweet symphony. Starchy Husk neat. Do it…Do it!.

An exciting Experimental IPA series from the boys at Workshop. This time we have decided to mutate our standard pale ale by upping the ABV and dry hoping it with our great friend Armadillo and an extra couple of different marinating mates, Nelson and Citra to bring in some fresh fruity, piney type vibes. One thing is for sure though, it doesn't get any fresher than this...Freshest zest in the west, Double hop trouble just went triple..Peel one back and let us know what you think. Read Less
