Orchard Thieves is best enjoyed when the sun's out; there's nothing better than that magical moment, opening up a cool, crisp Orchard Thieves cider, while soaking up some rays, telling yarns and recounting the stories that have gone before, and plotting the next adventure. But don't think Orchard Thieves just embraces the daytime! They love the cover of darkness.

Blacktop Oat Stout is a highly approachable matte-black monster, built around caramelised Golden Naked Oats that create an irresistibly silky mouthfeel. Beneath its dark, death-metal appearance lies a surprisingly refined character, with notes of chocolate, coffee and creamy tiramisu for those inclined to look deeper. For everyone else, it's simply a rich, satisfying dark brew that looks as good as it tastes - and happens to match their jeans.

With a pickup you can say yes to it all - the call of the wild, a working bee, bike mish or tip trip. Anywhere, all weather, all terrain. Don't overthink it. Just grab your gear and go. This pickup is loaded with notes of papaya, nectarines, citrus and melon, with some bitterness in the backend for a full and balanced ride.

Panhead's seriously 'put together' Kiwi Pilsner. Spicy hop-dominated with a bitter bite and major aromatics to hoover - think grapefruit, gooseberry and passion fruit, like a NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Gentle malt to balance the hops. Robust, dry, bitter finish. A hot-day homage to the Hutt Valley's legendary Port Road drags.

Panhead's OG XPA - easy zing, full flavour, no flog. A sessionable sipper that still hits the spot. A highly qualified quencher with an agreeable zing. Geared for an occasion when you don't want your mouth flayed raw or your liver worked to a standstill. Quickchange XPA is all about putting a big hop engine on a stripped down malt chassis. Light in colour with plenty of mango, guava, pineapple and lychee characters.

A Ratty is a chopped, low slung, rough and rusty hot rod. Like a hazy, it's designed for go more than show. Big hops rumble unfiltered here, flame throwing fruity goodness in all directions. There's a killer American hopping regime inside this unfiltered diamond, throwing the juicy orange and fruit salad characters forward without too much bitterness or malty sophistication.

Road Hog. An epic old-school clear IPA built with new-school hops. A hot rod icon. Stunning in '72. Resuscitated by a couple of highly skilled hot rod history buffs, father and son. Once the country's coolest, Road Hog is coming back for its crown more than half a century later. Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes.

Inspired by an iconic ride and built for chasing Southern Hemisphere sunshine, Panhead Sandman Hazy Pale Ale is the ultimate easy-going companion for days by the water. Pouring a hazy pale gold, it bursts with juicy citrus, mango and stonefruit aromas, followed by a soft, silky mouthfeel and refreshing grapefruit-zest finish. It's a laid-back hazy pale ale that feels right at home beside a chilly bin, a dropped tailgate and a summer afternoon.

Pale ale nailed. The orange one. Forever charges on. Tropical hops front with a famously balanced bitterness and light malt base riding quietly in the back. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.
