Relax… Take a Chill Pill

Winter is here, and with it comes the perfect excuse to slow down, layer up, and enjoy some beers to match the mood. It’s the perfect time to have some stouts, so we’ve included a couple in this box (try them side by side and note the nunances). We’ve also included a rare Steinbier, a mostly lost brewing process that requires running the wort through extremley hot rocks to achieve the right temperature. See if you can note the burnt sweet caramelly flavours that come from it!

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, don’t miss out on the pale ales and lagers, including a fresh-hopped crispy Kölsch that might be one of our top picks from this year’s hop harvest. There’s plenty to explore, whether you’re embracing the chill or dreaming of sunnier days. Cheers!

Description

What’s in the box?

Sunshine – Sunrise 09 Hazy Pale Ale

Easy-drinking and softly textured leaning into citrus and light tropical notes. Gentle, smooth, and well-suited to slower days.

BEERS by Bacon Bros – Tom Fresh Hop Kölsch

Clean and crisp with a subtle hit of peach and citrus from fresh Nectaron hops. A classic Kölsch base gives it structure, while the fresh hops keep it seasonal and bright.

Behemoth – Triple Chocolate Milk Stout

Rich and velvety, with plenty of cocoa character and a touch of vanilla sweetness. It’s indulgent, but still balanced enough to come back for another sip.

Garage Project – Red Rocks Reserve Steinbier

Brewed using red-hot stones dropped into the kettle, this rare style has layers of toasty caramel and a little smoke. Full-flavoured, warming, with a touch of something different.

8 Wired – Maverick Stout

A dry stout that stays grounded. Roasted malt and dark chocolate come through clearly, with a clean bitterness that keeps things sharp rather than heavy.

Townshend – Black Arrow NZ Pilsner

Classic lager structure with a firm bitterness and a herbal lift from local and UK hops. Crisp, tidy, and quietly complex.

ChinChiller – Pucker Up Blueberry Sour

Sharp and fresh, with bright acidity and plenty of blueberry on the nose and palate. A good palate cleanser, or just something to wake up the senses.

Fortune Favours – Optimist Hazy Pale Ale

Soft and rounded, with tropical hop flavour and a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Approachable without being dull.

Epic – Crush Low Carb Hazy Pale Ale

Lighter in body but still delivers on hop aroma. Citrus and stone fruit up front, followed by a dry finish. A smart option if you want something easy.

Sawmill – XPA

A lean, hop-forward pale ale with good balance. Floral and citrus notes sit on a dry, crisp base. Nothing overdone here, just solid beer.

DNA – Antsy Adam APA

Plenty of hop character, leaning into pine and citrus peel with a firm bitterness. The malt keeps it grounded, but this is very much about the hops.

Good George – Bandido Mexican Lager with Lime

Bright and breezy with a twist of lime that actually shows up. It’s clean, zesty, and easy to drink — a nice contrast to the darker beers in this box.
