OUR CORE RANGE

Picture
BUNKER APA
WINNER: SILVER MEDAL - BREWERS GUILD OF NZ 2017

​Drawing on the Heritage of the Birkenhead Region, we named this beer after the huge ammo dump at Kauri Point.  
When we developed Bunker APA, the feedback suggested we make a juicy, grapefruit, aromatic, slight bitterness, mid strength ABV beer.
We blended 3 great american hops on a 'secret malt base' which results in this balanced and clean beer running at 5.4% ABV.

BEAUTIFUL TROUBLE​
IPA

​If there was ever something to be said about Americans and Kiwis getting together to make beer, it must be added that Beautiful Trouble could be created.

We collaborated on a beer together pre-christmas 2016 and with a magic mix of brewers brains. The result is a stunning successful beer that deserves to be in our core range year round

PACIFIC PALE ALE

WINNER: GOLD MEDAL - BREWERS GUILD OF NZ 2017​

We were inspired to create a core session pale ale that would have the village crying out for more. Our heritage of having hardy people creating industry from the late 1800's. They built up one of the most desirable areas on the northern shores of the Waitemata Harbour.
Welcome to our Session Pacific Pale Ale.

PILSNER

​Birkenhead Point was the primary transport route to areas north of Auckland with the installation of Birkenhead Wharf. A "gateway to the north" if you will.
From our position as the gateway, we saw the creation of vital transport routes which made our village a very important commerce point.
Welcome to our gateway beer - the BBC Pilsner."
