Porter & Stout

A mind-melting, brand new Imperial Pastry Stout with over eight types of specialty malts, an extended boil, and a double dose of lactose. This indulgence tube is elevated by the addition, and subsequent conditioning, of chocolate fudge, swiss chocolate brownie mix, Marlborough sea salt, and caramel fudge powder all held together with a kiss of french vanilla. A stainless matured beer with a delayed-release mocha head, offering aromatics of espresso and maple syrup, and a palate of chocolate-drenched caramel candy and rich chocolate brownies. What a trip

Beervana 2024 Release

Midnight Knockout introduces a brand-new Imperial Pastry Stout featuring over eight types of specialty malts, an extended boil, and a double dose of sweet Bega lactose. With heavy-handed additions of toasted almond & coconut, Swiss chocolate squares, and US marshmallow, these flavours mind-meltingly meld together, offering a powerful and rich indulgence perfect for the coming darkness. Dark mocha in colour, bordering on black, and boasting a viscosity akin to oil, this stout stands as one of our most ambitious creations yet.

Ranniku [ The Coast ] - influences of the Australian coast collide with a tenebrous affinity from the P?hjala [ Northern Realm ]. Born is a massive dark collaboration of beer & friendship with our pals P?hjala, Estonia.
Working closely with Head Brewer Martin, we adapted a huge dark base of theirs for the antipodean malts we use while also drawing inspiration from coastal Australia. After an 8-hour boil, robust hopping, and cold fermentation, an extensive bittering on the hot side gives this massive Nordic Stout something massive. A rich foundation of strong malty and heavily roasted character is complemented, and amplified, by additions of North Queensland vanilla and toasted coconut, NSW cinnamon myrtle, and Tasmanian Oak.

Once again, as the Solstice passes, a rich and meticulous stout emerges.

Black as night and thick as oil, this is one chonky sugar-rich sud tube that?ll keep you on your toes with every sip. A black book full of German Montanas.

Chai holds a special place in our hearts here at One Drop and what better way to pay homage to this classic than brewing up a border-crossing new Imperial Pastry Stout with over nine types of specialty malts, a milk and cream heavy base, and an Indian-chai infusion.
Cinnamon, Vanilla, Clove, Ginger, Cardamom, Nutmeg, and sweet cream all combine to provide ultimate sun continental decadence.

Think Thick. Think Decadent. Think big salted caramel, rich belgian dark chocolate cake, nights-by-the-campfire vibes.

For it's second release, our brewers have thrown the frosting covered book at this decadent number - milk sugar, toasted marshmallows, golden syrup, cocoa nibs, vanilla, cake mix, and all combine in their baked-goods glory to give you the ultimate pastry experience, along with a hit of maple salt to provide a rounding salinity we've come to love here at One Drop and a kiss of smoked malts.

We've taken this crowd favourite and improved on it from last time. The nitro pour is gone allowing bigger bubbles to better lift the decadent aroma up into the smokey air. We've also doubled down on the pecan and mud cake aspects as we found them lacking last time around. All and all this is one decadent beast that has been spun right up to 11 for y'all.

Nights by the crackling fire need this creamy, roasty, dark chocolatey, and oh-so-caramelly brew of oozy chewy goodness.

Wellingtonian John Porter is a lawyer by day and winemaker by night, at least that's how his small production Pinot Noirs began life when he and his family first planted vines in Martinborough in 1992. 

This wine drinks beautifully now at five years old with fresh, delicate red fruit flavours over a core of savoury complexity and great structure providing length and texture to this wine. We think it represents great value for money and still has further time to evolve in the bottle, for those with the willpower to do so.

All the grapes in this wine were hand picked, fermented in small tanks and aged in French oak with a modest proportion of new oak. 

Martinborough Pinot Noir at its best with earthy aromas, dried red fruit flavours and freshness. Kereru is the brainchild of lawyer-winemaker, John Porter, who donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every bottle of Kereru Pinot Noir towards the upkeep and maintenance of a block of restored land with the aim of retaining its restoration into native forest for future generations.

This wine drinks beautifully now at seven years old and retains gorgeous bright fruit freshness with a core of savoury complexity and a long finish. We think it represents great value for money.

Meet a special new dry Martinborough rose made from Pinot Noir grapes grown on Porters Pinots Vineyard, which is situated at the start of the Wairarapa's most famous wine village. Tasty, dry and pale in colour, following the trend for light coloured, flavoursome pink wines.
