The definition of ‘Cider’ varies the world over. In Europe it is an alcoholic drink from fermented apples, where American Cider simply refers to unfermented apple juice – the alcoholic version coined ‘hard’ Cider. It would be important to clarify the use of the term at your local, as you wouldn’t want to be caught drinking apple juice on a Friday night! Friends, if you’re feeling parched, lets be clear…. our Cider is ultra dry and very hard!
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.

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.
