8 Wired – Gypsy Funk – Wild Beer 7.5%
£9.89
This 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!

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 – 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 – Bigmouth – Session IPA 4.4%
Seasonal, Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£2.69Bigmouth strikes again! Bigmouth is an extra pale, unfiltered hoppy session ale with a bold tropical and white wine notes from the Nelson grown New Zealand hops. A Luscious mouth feel, from the wheat and oats, carries the hop flavour across the palate before easing out with a dry (rather than bitter) moreish finish. A refreshing beer that's as at home at the beach or in the shower, as it is with canapés or at the dinner table.

8 Wired – Big Smoke – Porter 6.2%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.69Now what is this? A smoked beer?? It really isn’t as crazy as it sounds. 250 years ago virtually all beers were smoked (it’s true, Google it!), but with the dawning of the industrial revolution most of the smoke lifted. However, in the German town of Bamberg the flame has quite literally been kept alive and to this day the town’s brewers produce world renowned beers brewed with their own special rauchmalz (beechwood smoked malt). 8 Wired have taken their best porter recipe and added a good measure of that same Bamberg Rauchmalz. The smoke mingles beautifully with the rich, dark roasted chocolate flavours of the porter without being overpowering. Although it pairs extremely well with smoked seafood, barbeques, strong cheeses and hearty stews, its food friendliness isn’t limited to savouries; chocolate and caramel based desserts are great companions too! Trust us; it really isn’t as crazy as it sounds.

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.

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.
