February Special: Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is a vibrant reimagining of our much-loved Red 29, offering a bold Red Ale experience that's both nostalgic and exciting. Showcasing Harlequin and Citra hops, this brew bursts with citrusy and tropical notes, perfectly balanced by a rich malt backbone that provides depth and warmth.


Its deep amber hue and smooth, bittersweet finish make Groundhog Day a versatile pint, ideal for those seeking a taste of classic character with a modern hop-forward twist. It's a second chance to savour an old favourite, proving that some things are definitely worth revisiting!

March Special: Equinox

Celebrate the longer days of the equinox with Equinox, a pumped-up Spring Break edition that’s brighter and bolder than ever. At 4.6%, up from its original 3.4%, this brew is designed to pack more punch without losing its refreshing charm.

Motueka hops take centre stage, delivering vibrant tropical and citrus aromas of lemon and lime, while Simcoe hops provide a subtle bitterness that perfectly balances the juicy tropical character. The result is a zesty, invigorating pale ale that’s full of life—just like spring itself.

Raise a glass to the changing season and savour the energy of longer, sunnier days with Equinox.
