Tap 02, Hazy IPA
Paekak Hazy
Nelson Sauvin and Citra, soft and juicy with almost no bitterness on the finish. Cloudy on purpose. This is the beer people drive up from Wellington for and it is our best seller by a mile.

The shed out the back
A 1,200 litre brewhouse and two very tired pumps
Dan brews on Tuesdays and Thursdays and you can watch through the window while you drink. Everything is unfiltered and unpasteurised, which is why it tastes better here than it does out of a can three months later.
Spent grain goes to a dairy farm in Te Horo, and the water is Kapiti bore water with nothing added except a bit of gypsum for the pale ales.
