We love playing with new hops. This time we've used the NZ trial hop number "9909" in a New Zealand Pislner, supported by European noble hop Hallertau and NZ Riwaka to add some pilsnerish goodness. This creates an easy drinking beer for the times when you might need a "Daddy's Little Helper".

This recipe was not specifically designed to be consistent with the BJCP style guides, but we believe it is similar to 07A - Vienna Lager.

Summer has come and this is the perfect beer for a hot summer day. Cold, fizzy and super easy to drink. We've used a high percentage of Maize to lighten the body and provide a background impression of sweetness. Fermentation is done with M54 California Lager for crispness and minimal esters. For hops we've stayed in New Zealand: Wakatu & Motueka since we wanted a hint of lime (so you don't have to stuff a lime wedge into your beer).

ABV: 5.4%

We just can't get enough of NZ Pilsners! This one, unlike others we've made before, uses the holy trinity of Kiwi hops: Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin & Motueka - and the bitterness is kept to a civil level. Have a sip and you feel home. Nice.

Here's our take on the famous Captain Cooker by the Mussel Inn in Golden Bay. This unique New Zealand classic uses fresh Manuka sprouts (not supplied in this kit, you need to collect them yourself). Like the original recipe this is a lager ferment, so good temperature control is recommended.

ABV: 5%

Bursting with citrus & grape New Zealand Hop aromas & flavour this crisp NZ style pilsner is the ultimate thirst quencher. Unlike many others this one uses actual lager yeast.

We've used rich cocoa bean husks from Hogarth's, one of the best chocolate makers in the country that has won multiple awards, and used it to create a creamy oatmeal stout melded with rich chocolate flavour - coming out at a very sessionable ABV. Decadence in a glass. Get it while we still have cocoa bean husks in stock!

Some days are harder than others. You might not have bullet holes in your bomber after trying to take out a Nazi dam, since, you know, the war is over. Still, you maybe had the modern equivalent to that for suburban Dads. This beer is for those days. It's Extra Special. We believe it's one of the tastiest ESB's we've come across in a long while.

Maris Otter base with just the right amount of specialty malts, Target & Golding Hops for that English flavour, fermented with a dry English strain.

Brew it, do yourself a favour.
