A few New Beers from Across the Ditch

Epic - 'Grain Dead' West Coast IPA 6.7%

This year the West Coast IPA has a theme of horror films, so we went with the inspiration of New Zealand's greatest horror film of all time Peter Jackson’s - “Brain Dead”. We have had a play on words and made it “Grain Dead” due to the fact this beer is so hop focused there is little attention given to the grain/malt character. We have smashed in a terrifying amount of Columbus and Citra hops into this beer. It gives an amazing green piney resinous hop aroma. The hop flavour is scarily aggressive, yet it’s balanced in a way that it is like a brain dead zombie that sneaks up behind you and bites you before you know it. Be aware, and be ready to enjoy this horrifyingly good West Coast style IPA

8 Wired - 'High Strangness' West Coast IPA 7%

A classic WCIPA brewed with Simcoe, Columbus, Citra and Mosaic. Its pretty resinous / dank with lots of the classic US hops characteristics of stone fruit and citrus.

8 Wired - 'Super Conductor's Double IPA 8.8%

If you don't like hops, don't buy this beer. The intense bitterness and pungent, fruity hoppiness may confuse your taste buds to an extent where there would not be enough voltage left in the world to electroshock them back into coherence.
