For this week’s Wednesday tap special we’re featuring two new beers from Oamaru brewery, Scott’s.

Scott’s NZ Pale Ale (5.2%) $7.50 per litre

Scott’s Pilsner (5.1%) $8.80 per litre

Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Single Highland Malt 48% ABV

Normal price:$90.99 Special price:$84.99

This week’s malt special comes from this excellent highland distillery.

The 12 year old has aromas of heathery, floral notes combined with the richness of poached pears and the sweetness of malted barley.

The palate offers crème brûlée and sweet, ripe banana at first, then comes a light oakiness with pear fruitiness, leading to a long smooth, creamy and fragrant finish.

Rogue ‘Brutal Bitter’ IPA 5.8% $12.80 per litre

This week’s tap special comes from the Rogue Brewery, Oregon, USA

“An Imperial Bitter with traditional floor malts, citrusy, hoppy flavour and a stupendous hop aroma. A cross between a Very Extra Special Bitter and an Indian Pale Ale. Pure hedonism……”

This Wednesday our Tap Special is the Parrot Dog ‘Bitter Bitch’ IPA. $10 per litre

“An aggresive, tropical New Zealand hopped aroma gives way to a rich, copper coloured malt base and a huge, lingering bitterness to finish.”

A hop-filled IPA with a solid malt backbone.

Our Wednesday special this week is the Panhead ‘Supercharger’ APA @ $10.00 per litre.

“American style muscle gets backed up here with real Kiwi horsepower.

A long, aromatic list of hops like Centennial, Citra and Simcoe should lead you to expect massive bitterness and sensory hop presence, and you wouldn’t be too far off that expectation at all. One for the hop heads.”
