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.

All Grain Brewing Supplies:

In the future Hopscotch will stock hops and mill grain for you.

  • Liberty Brewing- C!tra   9%

    One of Joe's biggest and baddest, this imperial IPA is stuffed with American hoppy goodness, which is backed up with juicy chewy malts. The excellent balance between these forces gives your tastebuds room for a good spanking.

  • Liberty Brewing- Darkest Days Stout   6%

    An American style stout brewed with lots of chocolate malt and U.S Centennial Hops. On the nose you get the citrus from the hops first then the roasty malts. This is not a sweet stout, it's got a solid body but not chewy. You can watch Joe review this beer and burn his mouth out here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn2gCyrcf20

  • Croucher Low Rider IPA   2.5%

    A great hop kick & low ABV gives you guilt free summer drinking. Interestingly the lack of confounding variables (alcohol) lets you notice the psychoactive action of the hops. This batch is even better than the last, reduced alcohol to 2.5%, but more body from the addition of oatmeal.

  • Texas Tea - Cactus Brown Ale   6.2%

    A spicy and bold Texas brown ale brewed with a heady dose of American hops Columbus,Simcoe, habanero chili and prickly pear.

  • Sawmill - Hefeweizen   4.5%

    Full on funky wheat beer oozing freaky yeast flavours, banana, cloves and a little bit of barnyard.

  • Bach Brewing - Billfish APA   5.8%

    Billfish is brewed with a boat load of hops including NZ/Aotearoa’s Kohatu and Riwaka, Australian Galaxy, and US Citra and Zythos. Bursting with tropical fruit on a juicy malt base which lets the hops shine. Big flavour that hooks your taste buds.

  • Liberty Brewing - The Kush WCIPA   7.3%

    Liberty Brewing's The Kush won the prestigious West Coast IPA Challenge 2017. "The malt acts as a stage upon which the hop ballerinas dance" said Geoff Griggs, Head Judge of the Challenge.

  • Weezle Dog - Wolverine Double IPA   9%

  • Mandrake - Dick Move- Choc-Bhut Jolokia-Passion Fruit Stout   5.8%

    Our first crack at making a chocolate stout turned out pretty nice .Then we added passion fruit pulp and just enough Bhut jolokia chillies to make it pleasantly warm, then doubled this amount. (10g/L) Chucking this much chilly into a beer is a dick move. Hope you like it.

  • Kereru - Feijoa Berliner Weisse   3.8%

    This excellent example of the German sour beer is enhanced by the addition of Feijoas. The fruit don't smack you round, rather they lurk in the background. So good.

    Restrained in both hop and alcohol, but still very satisfying and totally delicious. This IPA quietly goes around winning tastings and awards.

    If you are a very good brewer, you can make a delicious stout with only 3.6% alc..this highly sessionable black thing has a lovely cold brew coffee and chocolate character. Despite the residual body the beer is dry, moreish and punches well above its weight thanks to the outrageous amount of specialty malt at 40% of the total malt bill..

  • Bach Brewing - Shaka Lager   4.5%

    Inspired by the spirit of the shaka – a gesture of kia ora, mateship and good karma – "Shaka Bro" can translate to 'hello', 'what's up' and 'chur bro’, or ‘let’s have a drink’.
