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...

A rich and crispy, 'cracker' like Pilsner. Proudly brewed with NZ hops: Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka. Delivering zesty, lychee, citrusy-like flavour and aroma. Beer geek Pilsner.

The mysterious nature of this beer is that it brings out what Mount Brewing love in New Zealand hops - piney, floral, citrusy notes supported by a medium body and rich but pleasant bitterness. Packed with Waimea, Nelson Savuin, Taiheke, Pacific Jade and Motueka hops this beer is a real beast, Sea Beast!

Mount Brewing's six top selling core range beers. Pack includes: Relax, It's Only a Lager; Mountie Pilsner; Golden Hour Hazy XPA; Highline Low Carb Hazy Pale Ale; Mermaids Mirth; Sea Beast IPA.

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 pickup is loaded with notes of papaya, nectarines, citrus and melon, with some bitterness in the backend for a full and balanced ride.

Pilsner is famously Czech in origin, but here we've gone for a South Pacific hop profile in keeping with the people who brew it and drink it. Passionfruit, grapefruit and sauvignon blanc characters abound, stacked up on a robust malt base that's partly German, partly Kiwi.

XPA means Extra Pale, a product of Quickchange's lighter malt base. That delicate colour though is undercut by a glorious hit of alpha oils from Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra hops. Sometimes you don't want your mouth flayed raw and your liver worked to a standstill. Sometimes a few luscious notes of mango, guava, lychee and pineapple can be just the thing.

In hot rodding a Rat Rod is a chopped, low slung, rough and rusty special, designed for go more than show. A little like a classic hazy IPA in other words. There's a monster American hopping regime inside this unfiltered diamond, throwing the juicy orange and fruit salad characters forward without too much bitterness or malty sophistication.
