Parrotdog's troublesome original release, named for the problematic first brew day which hugely emphasised its hop bitterness. It's matured and evolved nicely over the years, as has Parrotdog. Big tropical hop flavour from local varieties with strong bitterness from an English hop to honour its origins, all balanced by plenty of malt.

An ongoing series of occasional one off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in Parrotdog's Lyall Bay Brewery. Limited Release 39 is a Double IPA brewed with a crisp, lean, pale malt base and loaded to the seams with intense US and NZ hop varieties - providing punchy citrus, tropical, white grape and blueberry characters, along with a firm bitterness.

An ongoing series of occasional one-off beer releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in our Lyall Bay brewery. Limited Release 44 is a Red IPA brewed with a complex malt bill and an assertive blend of American hop varieties. Bright citrus and berry hop character rides over a rich red malt base, with notes of toffee, resinous hop oils and a firm bitterness.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale Ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it's a throwback to the relatively recent past. A Bright deep gold beer with Orange, grapefruit & pine aroma. Taste of Citrus with a balanced malt depth.

2024 NZ Brewers Guild Trophy winning Pilsner. If the sky is clear and cool, and you're very lucky, you might witness a sundog: apparitions that accompany the true sun, an atmospheric trick of light and ice. Parrotdog's own Sundog, a Pilsner starring the vivid passionfruit and white wine notes of New Zealand hops, is much easier to find, but just as crisp and bright.

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the thunderbird's intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to a hop from North America, where these tales were first told.

A good watchdog is the perfect companion, a relaxed and friendly presence but always alert and attentive. It's a rare mix of traits but Parrotdog's brewers have taught a similar trick to this Watchdog, a refreshingly non-alcoholic IPA, with a pale malt backbone and lively hop flavours of citrus and stonefruit, but no bite.
