Some Highland single malt whiskeys are famous for their peat smokiness and this beer captures that quality using a unique Manuka smoked malt. It is inspired by those early Scottish settlers who headed to the Catlins region and set up home. The early years would have seen many a moonshiner and brewer working with malts that they smoked with native timbers. This beer is beautifully balanced and best enjoyed with Haggis, Neeps and Tatties in front of an open fire

A HINT OF HONEY FLAVOUR AND A SMACK OF SMOKINESS MAKES THIS A SCOTTISH ALE TO REMEMBER. BEST ENJOYED JUST SLIGHTLY CHILLED AND ACCOMPANIED WITH SPICY FOOD.

Tasting Notes:

Biscuity brown ale with a nose of barbequed meat and charred wood. Sooty and smooth. Read Less

In 1840 the good ship Portenia first arrived at the Clutha mouth docking in Port Molyneux. On board were a group of hardy land prospectors and he first agricultural settlers in the region. Port Molyneux became a bustling coastal village until the mighty flood of 1878 when the town was bliterated and the landscape changed forever. This IPA pays tribute to those early prospectors who despite facing huge adversity managed to carve out a future for the settlers in the rugged Catlin's region. Read Less

Nugget Point is one of the most iconic landforms on the New Zealand coast. Its a steep headland with a lighthouse and a scattering of dramatic rocky islets (The Nuggets). Luckily for us the Nuggets are visible from the brewhouse window but if it ever gets cloudy all we need to do is look at our bottles and see the famous silhouette there. Nugget Point truly is the centre piece of our brand and inspires us in the creation of this delicious Black Stout. Malty chocolate and coffee flavours predominate with a biscuity and slightly smokey finish.

CHOCOLATE, COFFEE AND BISCUIT FLAVOURS PREDOMINATE IN OUR AWARD WINNING STOUT. ONE FOR ANY OCCASION AND ONE WHICH WILL HAVE YOU COMING BACK FOR MORE.

Tasting Notes:

A big dark biscuity stout. Chocolate and coffee tones predominate with a dry finish Read Less

Hoiho (Yellow-eyed penguins) are thought to be the world's rarest penguin species. They can be found throughout the Catlins coast, which with its abundant seafood and native bush provides the perfect habitat for these shy characters. The bright yellow-eye is striking and distinctive, much like this delicous pilsner made in their honour.

Tasting Notes:

A NZ twist on the traditional German Pilsner. Light and easy to drink. Read Less

On 23rd May 1861 Gabriel Read gained esteem and government bonuses when he struck gold in Lawrence. This heralded the start of the 1860s Otago Gold Rush when Dunedin temporarily became New Zealands largest city. Gold is still found throughout the South Island and the black sands on Kaka Point Beach give clues about what treasure might lie in the creek feeding our brewhouse. You will be sure to know when we trip over a giant nugget, but in the meantime, enjoy KP Gold, our pure and fresh Golden Lager.

Tasting Notes:

Is a light, golden-coloured lager. Very session able; particularly suited to those more used to large-scale commercial lagers Read Less
