My Festival
Welcome, NAME
Refreshing and regressive. Close your eyes, take a sip and you'll find yourself enjoying a Popsicle like the good old days.
Brewed in cahoots with our crispy, spicy mates at Peach's Hot Chicken (yes, seriously), this American Pale Ale is made for sittin’, sippin’, and snackin’. At a perfectly sessionable strength, Porch Pounder brings the hoppy goods without knocking you off your rocking chair. Aromatic, citrus’y and flavourful, it’s the ultimate sidekick to a plate of hot fried chicken—with just enough bitterness to cut through the grease and enough malt to cool the heat. Churly reckons it’s the kind of beer you pound while perched on a sun-warmed deck, watching the clouds roll by, crispy drumstick in one hand and a cold can in the other. It’s a match made in mouth-watering heaven.
Early days the Oamaru Harbour was - no safe port - originally, ships anchored in the open sea, offloading cargo into surf boats, then carefully guided to shore, through the breakers & hair raising foam surges. 150 years on our mellow east coast pale ale is your 'calm from the storm' chill unfiltered flavory goodness - with full fruity hop flavour of tropical fruit and citrus, & finally a gentle bitterness.
Inspired by the original Bohemian settlers of Puhoi, Puhoi Beer is a drinkable lager with a bunch of character.
Pukeko Hazy Pale Ale has low bitterness and a smooth, character. Citra, Mosaic, and Eldorado hops add citrus, tropical, herbal, and pine aromas, with hints of pineapple and mango.
Bursting with bright tropical notes, zestry citrus and that unmistakable punch of NZ hops make this IPA fresh, vibrant and unapologetically hoppy.
NZ Pilsner with a malt bill similar to a Czech Pilsner but the citrus hop flavours and bright tropical aromas are distinctly Kiwi. Low Gluten.
Malty American Red Ale dry hopped with classic American Hops Centennial, Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe
Festival version of our popular white stout, with addition of raspberry
Aromas of fresh strawberries and citrus zest. On the palate, it offers vibrant red fruit flavors with crisp acidity and a touch of minerality. The finish is clean and refreshing.
Lofty notes of brambles and dark red fruits dominate, with subtle background spice and fresh pencil shavings. The palate is loaded with dense ripe red fruits and has a silky-smooth texture. Tannins are firm but integrated with a supple mouthfeel leading to a classic Pinot Noir finish that is long, savoury and mouth filling.
Intense and powerful aromas of lime, gooseberry and passionfruit punch through. To taste palate is full and rich with juicy natural acidity and perfectly balanced minerality that gives the wine a long and luscious finish.
Reid & Reid Native Gin is a distinctly New Zealand craft gin that celebrates native botanicals. Crafted in Martinborough, it blends traditional juniper with Kawakawa, Manuka, and Horopito, creating a vibrant, herbaceous spirit with a peppery warmth and earthy depth. Citrus and spice notes balance beautifully, delivering a smooth, aromatic finish that reflects the wild New Zealand landscape. Perfect in a classic G&T this gin captures the essence of Aotearoa’s native flora.
