Lager/Pilsner
We’ve tapped into the crisp, refined world of the Italian Pilsner with our latest limited release — a refreshing lager brewed using Saphir and Saaz hops. Pouring a brilliantly clear straw-gold, the European hops bring a noble edge — expect soft floral spice, earthy herbs, and a clean, grassy bitterness. Light-bodied, this pilsner is delicately complex, highly sessionable, finishing dry and crisp. A true celebration of hop nuance and lager precision. Salute!

Pilsner is a blonde lager that gets its name from the Bohemian city of Pilsen, first produced in 1842. using the lager yeast strain it's far more tolerant to cold temperatures than Ale yeast strains are. The suppressive effects of the cold temperatures typically used to brew a lager (coupled with their longer aging times) results in a cleaner flavour profile than you might otherwise find in an ale... our youngest addition to the menu, but likely a mainstay, Scotts NZ Pilsner is crisp, dry & good clean fun!

Originating in Austria, Vienna Lager really took off in America pre-1919 (when prohibition began), hence coined the term “Pre Prohibition Lager”. Our old world Vienna-style lager begins with crystal clear Alpine Water. Fermented very cold and slow. The result is a copper coloured lager that has a noted malty sweetness with a touch more richness than your usual lager. Hopped to balance the distinct toasty malt profile. The finish – clean, crisp and perfectly dry.
