So.. We hosted the Taranaki branch of the law society for a shindig.

We though ' what the hell? brew a beer for the occasion!"

In 1827 the legendary John Ross set out on foot from Port Natal to Delagoa Bay to obtain medicines and other vital supplies for the stranded survivors of ‘The Mary’. Although not officially recorded, two very special companions provided additional eyes and ears against the lurking dangers. Introducing Barker, the plucky fox terrier who understood the law of the jungle all too well, and the parrot Quin, a little wacky yet as wise and as true as the sky.

Barker and Quin is a premium tonic water producer. This means they select natural ingredients and quinine, mixed together with mountain spring water to form the perfect tonic water. They aim to supply tonic to the discerning gin drinker. Priding
themselves on delivering a consistent premium tonic mixer using all natural ingredients.

Barker & Quin Marula Tonic Water is made with natural marula flavour and mountain spring water. Taking our notes from the treetops of Africa we present you with our Marula tonic water. This particular flower brings a bouquet that is exotic and tropical, The bouquet is potent and immediately takes you to the Bushveld. The taste is refreshingly different.

Zeffer - It's hard to beat a classic crisp apple cider.  This was the first cider we crafted and like all good originals, it's stayed true to form.  A bit like a Ford Cortina or timeless white shirt, our Crisp Apple is straight up and enduring.  It's dry, tangy, green apple goodness and carefully crafted by our cidermaking team each session.

Abel Methode Cider is made by us in small quantities, crafted from 100% apples and pears. We hand harvest tree-ripened fruit, crush it, then ferment until dry. This is quite different from your usual cider as we ferment the skins, stalks, pips and all, to maximize fruit aromatics and flavour. Abel cider is unfined and unfiltered. This basically means we allow our cider to naturally clarify via gravity to retain character. It's fermented in the bottle, like champagne. This natural carbonation gives a finer bubble which retains the aromas and flavours. Bottle fermentation adds complexity and texture, as well as giving cloudiness from the natural yeast sediment that remains.

Our cider is dry as this is the way we like to drink it - refreshing and full of flavour! ENJOY You have a couple of options when it comes to enjoying a bottle of Abel Methode Cider: EITHER...Place bottle upright in the fridge overnight, the colder the better. This will allow the natural sediment to settle to the bottom of the bottle. When you're ready to drink it, pour the clear cider (everything but the settled sediment) into a champagne flute or wine glass of your choice. OR...If you like cloudy cider, invert the bottle a couple of times then pour away!

Moa St Josephs is a classic Belgian Tripel. Strong spice, caramel and banana ester characters create complex flavours and aromas which are heightened by its extended bottle conditioning period. The combination of bittering hops, malt and candy sugars compliment the high alcohol content and integrate into a very approachable and drinkable Tripel.

For this, "The Botanist", small-batch, artisanal Islay gin we use nine of the classic gin aromatics orris root, cassia bark, coriander seed, etc ? and augment these with a heady harvest of 22 wild, native island botanicals, hand-picked by our expert foraging team from the windswept hills, peat bogs and Atlantic shores of this Hebridean island of Islay.

This truly seasonal and exotic cocktail is then slow "simmer" distilled in our unique and cherished lomond pot-still, "ugly betty". Betty prefers to work at low-pressure and won't be rushed. So our precious botanicals are slowly and gently coaxed into releasing their complex, signature aromatics.

This was a unique project for our head distiller, Jim McEwan. Jim says he had to "learn a new dance" with Betty, and none of us knew what to expect from that first, achingly-slow 17-hour distillation. The result: a highly distinctive, complex, floral gin with an outstanding finish and impeccable provenance. In an age of re-badged industrial gins, the Botanist stands out as a truly artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted labor of love and distiller's art. A breath of botanical Islay in every glass.Source - www.bruichladdich.com

Inspired by our action movie briefing, we’ve brewed The Law as a nod to the 90’s Judge Dredd film. Unless of course you're an IP lawyer from a big film studio. In that case: “It’s a lie! The evidence has been falsified! It’s impossible! I never broke the law;
I AM THE LAW!”

What is certainly true, however, is the fact that this big beast of a WCIPA is crammed full of All American malt and tasty hops!
