Here are the premium, all-grain beer kits that we stock -- just click on the name to go to the description:

 

Name Colour
American Premium Lager straw, golden
Cream Ale copper
Cerveza golden, straw
Munich Dark Lager dark brown
Pale Ale amber
Pilsner pale to golden
Stout black
Wheat Beer straw, slight haze

Cerveza

Colour:        golden, straw
Bitterness:   10 IBU
Malts:          Canadian 2 row pale malt, rice flakes
Hops:           Cluster (aroma and bitterness)
Serving Temperature: 12°C

Light-bodied, crisp and clean.  Drop in a wedge of lime and let our Cerveza take you to a pristine white sand beach overlooking the Pacific... don't forget the sunblock, amigo.     

Cream Ale

Colour:          copper
Bitterness:     22 IBU
Malts:            Canadian 2 row pale malt, crystal malt
Hops:            Northern Brewer (bitterness), Goldings (aroma)
Serving Temperature: 12°C

A west coast style Cream Ale with the perfect balance of malt sweetness and hop character.  A great introduction into the world of richly complex beers, without the heaviness of darker beer.

American Premium Lager

Colour:          straw, golden
Bitterness:     10 IBU
Malts:            flaked rive
Hops:            Centennial (bittering and aroma)
Serving Temperature: 7°C

This is an opportunity for home brewers to reproduce the most popular beer style in North America.  Its light colour, high attenuation and subtle use of hops combine to make this beer an excellent example of what has been an overlooked style by home brewers - until now.

Pilsner

Colour:          pale to golden
Bitterness:     35 IBU
Malts:            Cara-Pils
Hops:            Tettnang (mid-boil), Hallertau and Saaz (aroma)
Serving Temperature: 9°C

Modelled after both Czech and German Pilsner, this beer occupies the middle ground stylistically.  It is flavourful and malty, but clean, with a generous hop character both up front, and in the long, smooth finish.

Pale Ale

Colour:          amber
Bitterness:     30 IBU
Malts:            Crystal 70L and Honey Malt
Hops:            Northern Brewer (bittering), Cascade (aroma)
Serving Temperature: 12°C

Although there are many different examples of this beer style, our take is modelled after "West Coast" Pale Ale - with emphasis on crisp, clean flavours and plenty of robust Cascade hop character and aroma.

Munich Dark Lager

Colour:          dark brown
Bitterness:     20 IBU
Malts:            Munich malt, Crystal 120L, wheat and chocolate
Hops:            Perle (bittering and aroma)
Serving Temperature: 9°C

This beer has a lot going on.  Its full flavour, rich malty sweetness, pleasant hop bit - from traditional German hops - and smooth, clean finish, all combine to make this beer of choice for brewers who want to get the most from their efforts.

Stout

Colour:          black
Bitterness:     30 IBU
Malts:            Pale, roasted barley, flaked barley
Hops:            Northern Brewer
Serving Temperature: 9°C

Brewed since at least 1820, stout is Ireland's gift to beer lovers.  Ours is dark and rich, with a bold roasted flavour, a hint of chocolate and an espresso-like finish.  So smooth, you'd enjoy having more than one.

Wheat

Colour:          straw, slight haze
Bitterness:     10 IBU
Malts:            Wheat, pale malt
Hops:            Perle
Serving Temperature: 9°C

Bavaria's royalty liked wheat beer so much that they once held exclusive rights to brew it.  You'll understand why when you taste this superbly refreshing hefeweizen, with it spicy clove and banana aromas.
