The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500s led to a moral panic, hops were described as 'a Wicked, & Pernicious Weed', feared to bring the downfall of civilized society. Thankfully, they were right.

What is the perfect burger beer? Juicy malts to compliment chargrilled character, hop bitterness to cut through fat and maybe a touch of umami to elevate the whole experience? Say hi to Red Dog - Red IPA brewed with four malts, red rice, Kohatu, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops and red miso. Chewy malt and balanced bitterness, juicy tropical fruit aromatics with a delicate umami twist. It's your burger's best friend!

It's all about balance. Bright California inspired IPA with an effortless blend of clean sweet malt and punchy citrus hops. Mounds of Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, Strata and Sauvin hops create a flavour and aroma loaded with fresh cut grapefruit, sun warmed pine, passionfruit and a hint of rock concert kush. Cool tricks.

Say hallo to Schnuckiputz. A delightful light and refreshing take on the traditional German Gose style sour. Fermented with Garage Project's mixed house culture and infused with coriander seed, grapefruit, pink pomelo and a touch of salt, this light, bright, spritzy aromatic beer could be the ultimate thirst quencher. Prost!

It's malt's time to shine! Screaming Goat, German style Bock beer, a gorgeous garnet and mahogany dark lager where hops definitely take a back seat. Incredibly balanced and easy to drink, with smooth, malt driven biscuit and toasted hazelnut notes. It's malt, with a little Rock n' Roll swagger. Throw me some horns.

'Tis the season. Sleigh All Day - your silly season session IPA. All the Citra, Centennial, Strata and Mosaic you love in a West Coast IPA, with a slightly more sessionable strength, so you can enjoy even more festive fun. Intense grapefruit citrus, pineapple, hydro resin and a hint of Christmas tree pine. You're sleighing it!

Home & Away, a series of rebrews bringing some of our funnest overseas collaborations back to the Garage. For this release we turn to the dark side with South Pacific Soufflé Stout, first brewed with Boston's beer bosses, Trillium. Brewed with Tongan vanilla pods, cacao nibs and Timor-Leste grown coffee beans from Wellington's own Flight Coffee, this huge dessert stout pours an opaque jet black with luscious layers of vanilla gelato, burnt marshmallow, chewy dried fruits and mocha latté. Bringing home the goodness.

Back in a blaze of glory. Sungrazer - crisp, dry hopped Cali Pils, made with OG American hop variety, Comet. All but forgotten, this hop's spent years in the lonely obscurity of space, only to blast into orbit again with intense white grapefruit, mandarin, bright pineapple and juicy apricot. Look who's back!

Surrender to the Void, an irregular series of outrageously decadent pitch black stouts brewed using an enormous, complex malt bill and mounds of debaucherous adjuncts. What's The Void up to this time? Cherry, chocolate and coconut - well that does sound lovely, but don't you think its rather a lot? What do you mean you're only getting started! Oh Void, have you no restraint! Turn off the mind, relax and float down stream.

Riffing on Egmont Street Eatery's Caribbean Island inspired Kingston Tastee burger, this Tastee Hazee is brewed with light pilsner malt, plump wheat, and golden naked oats matched with the tropical notes of Mosaic, Citra, and Motueka hops, and spiced up with a subtle touch of tamarind, mango, and ginger. Perfect beside a burger - or just by itself - for ones own island getaway. A collaborative creation with the 2021 Burger Wellington winner Egmont Street Eatery.
