Picture this: a brainstorming session for a hazy beer, and the sky's the limit. They glance out, and there it is - a canvas of billowing clouds against a brilliant summer sky. Then, it hits them: they've got a plane in the Taproom, a bird that once soared through those very clouds. Now, for the fun part. They christen it 'OTTO pilot' (cue the 'Airplane' movie reference). And, of course, there's a nod to Brucey, their hippy accomplice who helped them snag the ex-Air Chathams Convair 580 (ZK-CIE). The label? It's not just a label; it's a narrative woven with humour and a touch of airborne adventure. This hazy marvel, with its cloudy allure, packs a punch of passionfruit and pineapple juiciness. Here's the twist-no actual fruit, just the wizardry of Mosaic and Citra hops, unleashing their aromatic prowess. Expect nothing less than a solid hazy IPA from Epic, because, let's be real, we know you'll fall head over heels for this one. Buckle up, beer enthusiasts, and prepare for a flavor takeoff like no other!

Let's hit the road. All India Permit, brewed with pilsner, wheat and crystal oats matched with tropical Mosaic hops, a subtle touch of anardana (pomegranate seed) amchoor (dried green mango) tamarind and Indian spices. Take your taste buds on a trip.

Your mind is swimming in a sea of calm. Alpha Waves, California style bright, golden IPA. Brewed with a blend of Mosaic, Krush and Simcoe hops loaded with tropical fruits, fresh citrus, with crisp alpha acids balancing clean sweet malt. Sit back, relax and ride those alpha waves.

Serving up your sour by the slice. Aunt Sally's Slice of Sunshine - Key Lime Pie Cream Sour. Made with sweet light lager malt, wheat and honey Graham Crackers, kettle soured and infused with creamy lactose milk sugar and key lime puree. An absurdly juicy sweet and zesty sour. It's sunshine in a can.

It couldn't be simpler. Pilsner malt, Saaz hops and Czech yeast. That's it. Sometimes simple is exactly what you want. Why bother dressing it up? It is what it is. Beer.

Beyond the Pale, a Garage tradition celebrating New Zealand's own fantastic Fringe Festival with a very special avant garde offering. This year they bring you Lavender Scare, a beguiling blend of lavender flowers, citrus and monk fruit (AKA swingle fruit), which create a disarmingly delicious 'lavender lemonade' sour with a whimsical purple blush and just a hint of your Nan's potpourri. Get 'out there'.

A cheerful, upbeat little hazy. Brewed with plump, juicy NZ grown barley and oats and a choice selection of Garage Project's favourite hops to produce a smooth, easy drinking beer, loaded with lush tropical fruit juice flavour and aroma. Delicious - pure and simple.

Free your astral form with this esoteric twist on the East Coast haze craze. Cosmic Balance fuses hazy double IPA with foeder aged Wild Workshop beer in a beautiful union of sweet and sour, where the elevated aromatics of Motueka, Citra & Talus fuse with cleansing juicy fruit tart flavours. Welcome one and all, to the new age of IPA.

C is for Crookie. Crookie Monster Pastry Stout. Mounds of decadently delicious Glou Glou baked Cookie Croissants, loaded into the mash along with almost two tonnes of malt, then topped off with Coffee Supreme coffee, vanilla beans and a touch of salt. It's a true monster, dripping with sticky sweet caramel, and brown butter, balanced with black coffee and roast malt. It's good enough for me.

Hop into the mosh pit. Dirty Boots, grunge inspired All American Pale Ale. Brewed with Simcoe, Mosaic and Equinox, especially for Music 2 Brew 2, a hard core, hoppy celebration of the tunes that inspire the beer Garage Project brew.

Buy the ticket, take the ride. We're going on a trip and you're invited. Never mind the kool-aid, this is the Electric Dry Hop Acid Test.

Don't be deceived, sometimes things are not what they seem. The modest strength belies the flavour within. A complex selection of malts and generous dose of Sauvin and Simcoe hops create a light but satisfying beer that punches well above its weight. A true sheep in wolf's clothing.
