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.

Wild Beer Co – Evolver IPA 5.8%
Beers£2.79Fermented with 100% Brett (a somewhat savage yeast, as opposed to Brett Ellis, one of the brewery's founders), Evolver's wild characteristics of refreshingly bittersweet citrus and melon are made more complex by the way this yeast ferments and changes the beer's flavours over time. Drink now or later - either way this little beast will leave a lasting impression if you're a fan of hops, tartness & more hops.

Wild Beer Co – Madness IPA 6.8%
Beers£3.09Wild's take on the West Coast IPA - the beer that sparked a revolution. This is their take on the style; bringing it back home, so to speak, with punchy, tropical aromas and piney, grapefruit citrus flavours running through the medium body. A truly fantastic IPA.

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.

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.

8 Wired – Rendition – Dubbel 7.5%

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!

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 – 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.
