My festival
Welcome, NAME!
Brewed for the crew at Hauraki's Big Show, join Jason, Mike & Kezie at the Emerson's site and have a hoon on their Hazy Pale Ale. Like the show, it is a great way to end the day, also great at the start of the day, and yep in the middle to.
The Botanist Gin is a handcrafted Scottish gin from Islay, distilled with 22 locally foraged botanicals. It offers a complex balance of floral, herbal, and citrus notes, layered over a crisp juniper base. Smooth and aromatic, it captures the essence of Islay’s wild landscape in every sip.
Filled to the brim with a blend of American and NZ hops, there’s nothing traditional about this.
Smooth malt sweetness balances a lively hop character, making this pacific pale ale fresh, vibrant, and perfectly drinkable. Whether youre on the deck or exploring the coast.
A smooth and roasty stout with layered malt complexity from ale, Vienna, brown, and roast barley malts, balanced by classic English hops and a clean finish.
Bold, bright, and unmistakably Kiwi. This modern West Coast IPA bursts with notes of gooseberries, grapefruit, and citrus zest, layered over a resinous pine backbone. Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, and NZ Chinook deliver a crisp bitterness and lingering dry finish, making each sip clean, punchy, and refreshingly moreish.

The latest release from Thief Brewing. So new we don't know much about it. With Habenero and Salted Lime what could go wrong!
Tart Boysenberry smoothed with notes of Vanilla icecream, this boysenberry sour has it all. Crisp yet smooth, the punchy fruit character is supported by notes of vanilla, all balanced with a smooth wheat base.
Soft and juicy, expect bright notes of passionfruit, peach and pineapple from the truckload of NZ Hops in this Hazy Pale Ale, featuring classics such as New Zealand Chinook, Rakau and Nectaron
A traditional dry gin with the spice of rainforest botanicals, hints of fresh citrus peel, and cassia bark. Locally foraged manuka, rimu, and horopito dance with juniper and coriander seed in a shower of the freshest rainwater on the planet. As New Zealand’s southernmost distillery, we produce boutique spirits that celebrate Stewart Island - our rich culture, colourful histories, and pristine environment - in every sip
How can something come from nothing? It is upon this fundamental age-old question that Third Island Vodka is built. Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality. We disagree. And as it turns out, our answer was around us all along. Blessed with only pure Stewart Island rain as our water source, our innovative filtration technique incorporates sustainably-foraged paua, mussel, and oyster shells from the pristine Southern Ocean. A final, polishing touch of free-flowing tannin-rich waters collected off the very rock of Rakiura herself all result in an exquisitely smooth mouthfeel and delicate minerality fully absent of any pronounced additional flavour. When it comes to vodka, our philosophy has never faltered: A little something makes all the difference, for nothing hardly comes close.
