Mermaid's Mirth is a bit of a local legend in Mt Maunganui. Generously packed with American hops where Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook deliver a citrusy flavour and aroma, supported by a clean and crispy body. Exceptionally easy drinking for 6% she may be legendary but comes with a cautionary tale...

Orchard Thieves is best enjoyed when the sun's out. There's nothing better than that magical moment, opening up a cool, crisp Orchard Thieves cider, while soaking up some rays, telling yarns and recounting the stories that have gone before, and plotting the next adventure. But don't think Orchard Thieves just embraces the daytime! We love the cover of darkness.

Orchard Thieves Peach & Passionfruit has a palate that is a generous tropical fruit basket with distinctive interplay of peach and passionfruit. The liquid is pale straw coloured with a rich ripe aroma of fresh peach. It is well balanced and provides a refreshing and long finish.

Batch cans are a series of Panhead cult classics, mostly exclusive to the taproom. Handpicked from Panhead's archive of small kit experimental hits, these staff and punter favourites are now yours for the taking.

There's an elemental darkness at the heart of this massive Black Barley and Rye Wine. You can feel it wafting rich, dark fruit up from the glass with powerful overtones of tobacco and bourbon. Like its stable mate The Vandal, Black Sabbath is inspired by a famous John Reid-built kiwi hot rod, but at the same time Panhead think its strength and uncompromising character also pay considerable tribute to the rock and roll originators of the name.

As self-confessed bogans we have an attraction to black. The key to creating a silky death metal monster like Blacktop is the caramelised Golden naked Oats we've built it around. Sophisticates will detect the chocolate and coffee notes of creamy tiramisu. The rest of us will note that it matches our jeans.

This low riding Rivi is a sassy sister sittin' on bags. Likes the finer things in life and has a hard-working hot rod honey to provide them. One Ms Starry-Moon. Once the only pinup in the beauty salon now lights up a stage in swing skirts and pettis or denim, leather and leopard. Together these two glitter with their hearts of gold. Coz, you can't take it with you when you go!
