Yeastie Boys – Gunnamatta – IPA 6.5%
£2.99
When 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 – PKB Remix 2016 6%
Beers, NZ Craft Beer Collective£3.69Rich and roasty with a fresh kick of Early Grey Blue Flower tea, Dark Matta is a 'hypothetical' beer. This cross-over of Pot Kettle Black and Gunnamatta might make one wonder whether it, like dark matter, is indeed really there.

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£3.99Saisons 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 – 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 – xeRRex – Imperial Smoked Ale 10%

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.
