La Trappe Blond
La Trappe is the only Trappist beer located outside of Belgium and is only one of the seven still producing Trappist beers today. The Blond is a golden blond beer that combines the Trappist fermentation process to produce an aromatic, fruity and fresh aroma. The flavour may be described as light malty and slightly sweet. A fresh and fruity beer with a hint of bitterness that evaporates quickly, resulting in a smooth and friendly aftertaste. This easy drinking beer is a finely balanced mix of complexity and simplicity.
La Trappe Quadrupel
Quadrupel is the heaviest La Trappe beer with a magnificent amber color. Matured in oak barrels, it has a warm, intense flavor that is full and well balanced. Malty sweet, slightly toasted and pleasantly bitter with a sweet aftertaste. Identifiable aromas include banana, almond and vanilla.
Craggy Range Sophia
The soils of the Craggy Range sites that supply fruit for this blend are scarily Pomerol-like. This is a wine of finesse and restraint, showing complexity and depth that we have come to expect from this producer, but is still surprising the uninitiated. 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.
Te Mata Bullnose Syrah
The Bullnose Syrah from Te Mata is one of New Zealand's original Syrah wines, having been made since 1992. Vineyard partners, Michael Morris and Peter Cowley - both car enthusiasts - named the wine after the pre-1928 Morris Cowley car, nicknamed Bullnose due to its distinctive radiator. The Bullnose is a single vineyard wine from Hawke's Bay that shows characters that are aromatic, savoury, and elegant. It's an expression of syrah which, when well stored, develops and intensifies in bottle with medium term cellaring.
Hook Norton Twelve Days
While the partridge in a pear tree on the label suggests Christmas, this Hook Norton brew is available all year round and is a wonderfully rich and dark strong ale that will warm any cold soul. With a dark malt palate with nutty overtones, Twelve Days finishes with a hint of sweetness that compliments the bolt rich flavours perfectly.

Hook Norton Haymaker Pale Ale

Plenty of Golding hops are used to produce a strong ale of richness and smoothness and incredible length.
