Like the rare beauty of a total eclipse, this stout is a dark and captivating experience. Layers of dark malts, chocolate rye and caramel swirl together with a silky smoothness from lactose.

Gisborne Gold

Citra and Mosaic hops combine to create a refreshingly crisp, flavour-driven light pilsner. With subtle lime and lemongrass notes, it&rsquo;s the ideal brew for kicking back on long sunny days.

Half Pipe

Golden and glowing like a Gisborne sunrise, this Belgian Tripel is brewed with local King Bees Coast Multifloral Manuka Honey. Adding a delicate floral lift and smooth, fermentable sweetness. Belgian yeast delivers ripe stone fruit, clove, and subtle spice, while the honey leaves a warm, dry finish that lingers just long enough. Strong, refined, and deceptively drinkable liquid gold from the East Coast.

Honey Belgian Tripel

No Access is a solid and consistent peaking wave. A mash of barley, oats and wheat give a solid palate weight to allow the juicy swell of 3 aromatic hops to peak explosively in unison. Surges of tropical fruit and lime lead through to an easy bitterness and hazy goodness.

NZBA 2025 BRONZE MEDAL

No Access

We threw together some Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin hops to create a refreshingly modern Kiwi pilsner and the perfect palate cleanser after a long afternoon surfing The Pipe.

NZBA 2025 GOLD MEDAL

Pipeline Pilsner

Inspired by the legendary waves of Sunset Beach Port Waikato, where golden light meets rolling waves. This PineappleIPA is a tropical escape in every sip, bursting with juicy pineapple sweetness and a crisp malt backbone. A bright hop blend adds layers of citrus and stone fruit, balancing the brew with just the right amount of bitterness. Refreshing and full of island vibes, it&rsquo;s the perfect way to end the day&mdash;no matter where you are.

Sunset Beach
