Non pasteurised beer has more flavour, and is more reliable than bottled beer. The bottling process is also expensive and fiddly, so many great beers never get bottled. Drinking draft beer is the way to taste what the brewer intended.

Hopscotch has imported 1L German made flip top beer bottles, these are sturdy and hold pressure well. We will help you maintain your bottle with replacement rubber washers if you need them.

This beer can last for three to four days in the fridge, for longer term storage, brewery bottled products are more suitable.

Bottle Beers:

Our selection of bottles is under construction, it will be comprehensive.

  • Epic- HOP ZOMBIE   8.5%

    This double IPA has some secret New Zealand hops and some secret U.S hops. Very little alcohol burn for it's percentage. Resinous but not overbearing, tropical fruit flavours and refreshingly mouth cleansing.

  • Garage Project- HapiDaze.   4.7%

    Hāpi is Te Reo Maori for hops, and four varieties of hops from Aoteoroa are combined in this bright pale ale to create intense-but-clean hop character. The delicious flavours of this beer betray the fact that it is merely 4.7%. Highly recommended.

  • Garage Project- Trip Hop   5.6%

    The Trip Hop is a lovely sessionable pale ale that contains no rabbit based ingredients. It is hoppy though, using Pacificica, Motueka and Riwaka along with a good measure of specialty malts.

  • Garage Project Pernicious Weed   8%

    Big hop bomb of an I.P.A from the Garage. Nelson Sauvin and Organic Rakau hops coat your mouth in greasy hop resin and citrus notes. Well balanced with a warming and earthy malt background.

  • Tuatara- Double Trouble Extra Dimensional Ale   9%

    Holy Shit! A new style, first come the really pleasant stone fruits, Apricot, Nectarine, Peach and Melon. Then Boom, INSANE GRAPEFRUITY BITTERNESS!!
    It's calculated at 167 IBU, which is mentally bitter, your mouth may dissolve and your hop threshold will go to another reality.
    Pacific Jade to bitter, then Pacific Jade, Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, and Zythos. Nelson Sauvin for the first dry-hop, and Simcoe and Zythos for the second dry-hop.

  • Garage Project-Orange Sunshine American Wheat Beer.   4.8

    An American style wheat beer, fairly dry and refreshing, with citrus notes from orange and lemon zest. This recent batch (2018)has more Belgian funk than previous, so the yeast may have been changed.

    Apricity is light-brown coloured wheat and oat doppelbock with a creamy fine head. Notes of fruitiness, Christmas cake, Speculaas spices, raisins and plums meet biscuits and roasty aromas. Full-bodied and warming, with a well-balanced and smooth finish.

  • Black Sands - Pacific Pale Ale   5%

    A refreshing easy to drink pale ale with a rich sweet malt taste this is perfectly offset by the hoppy bitterness of the NZ grown hops. A really solid 5% option that doesn't disappoint.

    A slightly less alcoholic version of the world famous Juice Box. Still juicy and murky, still awesome.
