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.

Bright and lively like a parrot, but small and ubiquitous like a sparrow, the Yellowhammer adds a flash of colour and a musical chirp to open spaces all over the country. The way it does a lot with just a little inspires this smooth and refreshing hazy pale ale, streaked with the striking tropical notes of Strata hops.

Ranfurly is a great tasting New Zealand draught beer with no frills around the edges - just good tasting and refreshing.

Beer with everything except alcohol. Big tropical aroma and a smooth bitterness defy logic in this non-alcoholic Pale Ale.

Super juicy and tropical with punchy flavours of passionfruit, mango and orange. Real East Coast style in this Sawmill classic.

Sawmill's refreshing and juicy take on pale ale with plenty of citrus character.

The people's favourite and the king of lagers. This is a New Zealand style Pilsner - clean, crisp and hoppy with a refreshing bitterness.
