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.

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.

Renaissance – Stonecutter – Scotch Ale 7%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.39Multi award winning Stonecutter Scotch Ale is the big, hearty, ‘red wine’ of their range. They use nine malts blended together to produce layers of rich malt flavour in tribute to old Scottish styles of the 19th century.

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."

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.

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 – 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 – Hippy Berliner – Berliner Weisse 4%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.59Originally brewed for GABS 2015 (Great Australian Beer Fest) New Zealand’s 8 Wired have decided to let craft beer lovers on distant shores experience their Hippy Berliner. This Berliner Weisse’s bold and colourful labelling reflects the tropical flavours that bubble beneath the cap. Mango, lychee, lemon, lime and grapefruit flavours are all waiting to escape from this moderately bitter, sour and exceedingly juicy brew.

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!
