"With a love for wood aged beer in Rackhouse we decided to age our Pilsner in one of our foeders for 6 months which has resulted in a rustic wood aged Pilsner that is refreshing yet complex. With a balanced malt character, dry finish and a slight funk edge from the wood aging. We are excited to experiment more with this style."

"The next beer in our discovery series of trial batch lagers.
Italian Pilsner has taken the world by storm since its emergence in the late 00's. Originally brewed as a German pilsner by Birrificio Italiano outside Milan. Agostino, the brewer added some tweaks to make the recipe more exciting for local drinkers including an increased amount of late-stage hops which give the beer a more pronounced hop character and soft floral aroma from the German hops. During the summer at festivals we were lucky to have a few chances to drink the OG, fresh Tipo Pils in Italy and this is our tribute to that beer. We lagered this beer for over 40 days so it has an incredibly smooth finish. "

"A bright, modern pilsner inspired by the Italian approach. Clean malt, a firm but balanced bitterness, and a light dry hop of noble varieties bring delicate floral notes and a touch of citrus zest. Crisp, refreshing, and low in calories, it’s built for endless drinkability."

"After our REZ project last year, we're returning with two new offerings brewed in conjunction with the TATE team! This time celebrating the launch of 'Frida: The Making of an Icon' their sublime new Frida Kahlo exhibition, opening on 25th June 2026!

I Would Give Her Flowers is a Mexican Lager (4.5%) A style we’ve wanted to brew for years. Inspired by Kahlo’s beloved sanctuary garden at La Casa Azul, this is crisp, clean, and beautifully bright. Expect a rounded malt body with a distinct flaked maize note, finished with a vibrant, natural, limey zing from Motueka hops."

"4.1% Italian Pilsner (Amarillo, Centennial, Willamette) - This highly crushable Italian Pilsner of 4.1%, brewed with Norm Brewery and delicately hopped with Centennial and Willamette and fermented with a state-of-the-art lager strain developped by the buddies and yeast magicians of Escarpment labs. Clean yeast profile and hop transformation at its best!"

"Light European-style pilsner, dry-hopped with Saphir hops. Crisp and super easy-drinking with bold notes of crackery pilsner malt and earthy, peppery hops; refreshingly clean with a dry finish."
