Brewdog Hazy Jane New England IPA, 375ml Can ABV 5.0%
New England detuned. This full-tilt fruit machine of an IPA packs all the flavour but less of the alcohol. Notes of pineapple,mango, stone-fruit, and a hint of tangerine to mix it up. Brewed with oats and wheat and left unfiltered for a smooth juicy hit.

Batch The Big Kahuna Coconut Brown Ale, 375ml Can ABV 4.8%
Cowabunga, dude! Before Batch was a twinkle in Chris and Andrew’s eyes, they were, like, totally on Waikiki beach on holidays from jobs they weren’t really doing anymore anyway. They were just like, woah, let’s do a coconut beer. And they did. Sweet story bro, but not as sweet as this winter brown ale. The Big Kahuna has some gnarly malt complexity, giving it a rich and flavoursome maltiness without ever blowing out the sweetness. Like, then they add toasted coconut into the mash, then into the boil, then into the fermentor, so that some super fragrant coconut aromas get mad air out of the glass. So wax your board and raise a glass to the winter months with some tropical tunes, colourful shirts and a bomber of the Big Kahuna. Mahalo, bro!

Lord Howe Island Brewing Horned Turtle NEIPA, 375ml Can ABV 5.8%
The Horned Turtle New England IPA is a juicy tropical flavoured beer, with notes of stone fruit, lychee, pineapple and a punch of mango. Although extinct for some time, they decided to bring back a bit of the horn to the Island through this great beer. The Horned Turtle (Meiolania Platyceps) Thought to have gone extinct about 25,000 years ago, the first fossil was identified on Lord Howe in the 1880’s. This huge unique turtle grew up to 2m long and was armed with a head of horns and a spiked tail. The Horned Turtle would have been a formidable opponent. A skeleton is able to be viewed at the Island Museum.
