Available on tap

Panhead Supercharger APA 5.7%

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Supercharger APA is where Panhead delivers. 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.

Panhead Port Road Pilsner 5.2%

Pilsner is famously Czech in origin, but here we’ve gone for a South Pacific hop profile in keeping with the people who brew it and drink it. Passionfruit, grapefruit and sauvignon blanc characters abound, stacked up on a robust malt base that’s partly German, partly Kiwi.

A classic Kiwi hop style of passionfruit and grapefruit – like a beer version of your New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Brewed with NZ and German Malts.

Panhead Pickup Hazy IPA 5.9%

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.

Notes of pineapple, papaya, nectarines, citrus and melon.
Juicy and soft bodied, with some bitterness in the back end.
Using Motueka, Cascade Mosaic & Eclipse hops.

Panhead Sandman Hazy PA 5.2%

Pours pale gold like dawn on a summers day. It’s also a bit hazy obviously. Citrus and tropical aromas come jumping out of the glass with orange, mango and stone fruit notes all along for the ride. A soft and silky mouthfeel with more of those juicy fruit notes is balanced but a pithy grapefruit zest bitterness and clean refreshing finish. Pairs well with bombs off the wharf and sand in your togs.
