Brewed by 8 Wired
8 Wired Brewing is inspired by the legendary Kiwi can-do mentality and fellow craft brewers who have dared to challenge the masses and show us all that beer is no longer “just beer”! No 8 Wire is a specific gauge of wire originally used for electric fencing. In New Zealand it’s use is much more widespread than that though, Kiwi’s have used it to fix just about anything, from cupboards to cars. Over the years it has become a symbol of the kiwi ingenuity, their ability to fix any problem no matter how limited the resources.

8 Wired v Modern Times – Half Way to Whangarei – Saison 5.5%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£6.99A collaboration with Modern Times out of San Diego called Halfway to Whangarei. 8 Wired brewed a Grisette and fermented it in one of their foeders with a Modern Times house yeast strain of Brett. Halfway to Whangarei turned out as a light bodied, complex, fruity and slightly tart Grisette which is a farmhouse style of beer the coal miners used to drink.

8 Wired – Rendition – Dubbel 7.5%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£8.49It’s a rendition of an age old monastery beer, but 8 Wired do it in their own very special way. Brewed and dry hopped with NZ grown Styrian Golding Hops, fermented with a Belgian yeast and refermented with Brettanomyces.

8 Wired – Gypsy Funk – Wild Beer 7.5%
Seasonal, Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£9.89This is an intensely sour brew. Aged in wine barrels for up to 2 years, then heavily dry hopped with the unique flavors of all NZ hops. This is a very complex and super sour brew that was a massive hit for 8 Wired at GABS Auckland. A good amount of expletives were shared over its super sourness and heady, oily resin and heavy funk characteristics. A must try for the sour lover!

8 Wired – Saison Sauvin 7%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.69Saisons have been around for ages. Traditionally brewed by Belgian and French farmers to provide refreshment during harvest. These hardworking folk never imagined that centuries later their style of brewing would inspire brewers from all over the world. As all 8 Wired's beers, this is a very modern (you might say new world) interpretation of this style. Based on tradition they have used a French Saison yeast, providing a plethora of funky, earthy, very "Belgian" flavours. From there they have upped the ante a fair bit by loading the kettle with punchy Nelson Sauvin hops. Unlike the original, this is not a beer meant to be drunk by the gallon. Moderation is the key for full enjoyment of all great beers.

Yeastie Boys – Gunnamatta – IPA 6.5%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£2.99When the team behind the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular asked the guys to create a special beer for their 2012 festival, they started by searching for musical inspiration from their Australian homeland. The tunes led them on a wild conceptual ride but they ended up settling on this hugely floral India Pale Ale that is "dry-leafed" with a massive load of Earl Grey Blue Flower tea. Gunnamatta - the instrumental opening track of Paul Kelly's 2004 album Ways and Means - refers to a beach break on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula and had us thinking of good friends, cups of tea, surf, beer and rock 'n' roll! As Paul Kelly says himself: "Deeper water, leading me on."

Yeastie Boys – xeRRex – Imperial Smoked Ale 10%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£4.59A beefed-up version of Rex Attitude, xxRRex is in some ways a somewhat more accessible version of it's baby brother. Having said that, 100% peat malt is still borderline insanity. Approach with an enlightened pallet.

8 Wired – Hopwired IPA 7.3%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.49Although there's plenty of malty sweetness, this beer is all about the hops. But unlike an American IPA, which will mainly challenge you with grapefruity and pine-like flavours and aromas, the kiwi hops used in HopWired produce something more like a tropical punchbowl: Passion fruit, limes, oranges and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to name but a few.

8 Wired – Tall Poppy – American Amber 7%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.49This is an ale that is not afraid of standing tall among other great beers. The intense, sharp and fruity hoppiness is backed by its complex, caramel-like malty structure. Big, yet refreshing. Bold but balanced. This beer has been designed to have it all, to be the greatest common denominator.

Yeastie Boys – Digital IPA 5.7%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£2.99A new world India Pale Ale inspired more by our traditional forefathers than the modern pretenders, Digital IPA is defined by its heavy use of late kettle hopping and very restrained use of dry hopping - a technique, in contrast to our peers, that goes a long way to proving Yeastie Boys’ philosophy of ‘fresh is not best’. IPA as it was originally intended.

Yeastie Boys – Rex Attitude – Smoked Ale 7%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.99Like Peat? No, not Pete, Peat. Here is the world's first beer made with 100% peated malt: smokier than a highlander's local smoke house on smoke day. Famously described as a beer you'd liken to tonguing your Grandad (i.e. whisky and cigars), it is the Yeastie Boys favourite of their beers. Don't say we didn't warn you. This is one polarising mother of a brew.

8 Wired – iStout 10.5%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£4.19Beware, this is a BIG beer. Brimming with luscious roasted coffee and chocolate malt flavours balanced by a brisk bitterness and bold freshness from the hops. If you’re feeling politically incorrect try it with your favourite cigar, or a dram of your best single malt whisky. Or, if your tooth is sweeter, why not jump in at the deep end with the most decadent dessert of all; half a bottle in a glass with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (beer geeks like us know it as the Imperial Stout Float). Or simply enjoy it on its own as a decadent dessert or night cap - the perfect winter warmer.
