Grandmas recipe: Spread crispy coconut base, layer with chocolate condensed milk and press some fresh raspberries in whilst soft, refridgerate and then serve on nitro. This is an ultra decadent but oh so drinkable desert in a glass. All the flavours above bouce out and roll over your tongue in a thick rich creamy package. Grandma would be proud, its perfect.

Winter in Queenstown is magic, but it can also be pretty cold. Let us warm you up with a new creation for 2025's winter season. Fresh local apple juice and Wet Jacket pinot gris straight from the fermenter blend beautifuly with a kick of lemon and grapefruit, and the warming spices of cinnaom, clove, star anise, and nutmeg mulled to perfection.

Adventures in beer Vol.3: Breda, Frontaal Brewing. Travelling to the Netherlands to catch up with Dutch rockstars Frontaal brewing is the latest in beer adventures. These guys crank out awesome beers across Europe and the plan for this collab was to lug a big dose of fresh harvested 2025 NZ hops over. Filling the luggage with delicious amplifre Nelson and Riwaka from Clayton hops we have made a big ballsy Hazy IPA with a huge dank NZ character of sticky passionfruit pulp, sweet cannabis and mushy mango smoothie. A soft, creamy and smooth drinkability rounds out the experience.

For The Love Of Hops (Frontaal Brewing Collab, Neatherlands)

One of our core values here at Altitude is having a good time. Some days are naturally gonna be better than others and some dont go as planned, but as they say, you can turn lemons into lemonade. When its time to pass up a beer, we respect that. But it never means you shouldn't be having a good time as good times are all the time with us. This extra pale ale is crafted with all the best qualities of a full flavoured brew but without the booze.

Good Times

Introducing the first release in our Alpine Legends Series &mdash; a crisp salute to the fearless and the fast. Herminator is a bold Austrian-style Pilsner named after ski racing icon Hermann Maier, the indomitable force who turned near disaster into Olympic glory. Just like Maier on the slopes, this pilsner is all precision, power, and poise. Expect razor-sharp bitterness, a clean malt backbone, and a finish as dry and satisfying as steel edges biting into hard ice. Brewed with noble hops and Austrian lagering finesse, it's a beer built for champions &mdash; and those who drink like one. Fast. Clean. Unstoppable. The Herminator has arrived. More legends dropping soon.

This jammy journey of mouth FOMO keeps going! Finding a path in volume 15 is a beery take on one of the most delicious spreads to come across your toast - Lemon curd. The sweet and tart thiccness of this is a perfect pairing with the gentle fruitiness of fresh sliced strawberries to remind you of a summer weekend breakfast. Visually delicious with a soft glowing orange hue the beer delivers aromas of lemon custard with a strawberry edge. Sweet and tart flavours of real lemon curd roll around the mouth with a creamy custard richness to finish.

Jam Sessions Vol. 15: Lemon Curd & Fresh Strawberry 

Is it the weekend? It's time for peak performance, whatever that means. Maybe a sofa start followed by a casual lift lap or even a doggy trail run. The goal is 'most fun wins' whatever you're up to. A backbone of new Amplifire&trade;️ morphed Motueka, cryo-enhanced Simcoe and the best Nelson Sauvin we could find make up a hop bill that hits all the right spots with minimum effort. Whatever your weekend activity - own it!

How do you like your croissants? Extra flaky and warm with butter? Drizzled with Nutella? With some toasted almonds perhaps? How about in beer form? We've taken everyone's favourite weekend breakfast treat and turned them into beer. Aromas of rich artisanal pastry come up first with lashings of salted butter right behind. Next come the nuances of Nutella spread, chocolate glazed donut and finally a hint of whipped cream. Palate is soft and creamy with none of the booze and a dark chocolate bitterness that wipes away the sweet start. Bon Appetit

Pain Au Chocolat

When thunder claps on the slopes and denim cuts through powder, you know Zeus Skis in Jeans. This West Coast IPA is a bold collaboration with one of the worlds finest and most pre-eminent hop forward breweries: Colorado's Westbound &amp; Down. Expect a clean, dry finish with punchy bitterness and layers of blackberry cannabis, grapefruit, resin, and pine. Brewed with precision and balance and using Westbounds own hop selections specially sent to NZ - it's a throwback to classic West Coast flavour with modern freshness. No haze. No nonsense. Just a powerful hop character and old-school swagger. For gods who don't follow trends - and definitely don't wear snow pants.
