If you have ever stepped into the world of craft beer, you know it can be sort of overwhelming. Beer styles number in the hundreds, and variations on those styles are virtually infinite. It would be a colossal feat to cover all of these beers in a single article, so instead, we will go over some of the commonly brewed styles that help brewers categorize their creations.
After all, brewing is inherently experimental, and to brewers, style guidelines can be strict rules or a platform to try something new.
Let's dive into some of the more important beer flavours and mouthfeels being brewed today.

Tasting notesWe have shaped a refreshing, well-balanced lager with a unique twist. Using NZ hop Nelson Sauvin, a hop that was a little innovator itself with its unique Sauvignon Blanc and gooseberry characters, we pay homage to those who can take something seemingly relevantly every day and elevate it to new heights.
Our Pintail Lager does just that.
