Hawke's Bay Brewing has upgraded its popular baby duck and made it a super duck with the release of its large 620ml bottle. With bold flavours, Super Duck is infused with burnt caramel, toffee, chocolate and coffee characteristics all brewed together to produce a fine dark pale ale.
Super Duck is brewed with five malts in 18th Century London style. The ale is then left for 40 plus days in its maturation tank to age and deepen the flavour.

Fugazi Hoppy Session Ale is the latest brew from the team at the Garage Project.
The complex 2.2 percent ale harnesses a selection of malts, and the generous dose of Nelson Sauvin and Simcoe hops to create a light but satisfying beer that punches well above its weight. Grapey, gooseberry and grapefruity qualities of Nelson Sauvin marry the earthy, woody quality of Simcoe to create a welcoming and approachable, medium bodied yet spritzy low alcohol beverage.
A true sheep in wolf’s clothing.
