February sees the launch of our annual Glue series - Glue Tac (4%), Glue (6.5%) & Super Glue (8%) - a sticky exploration of New Zealand hops. All three beers feature a heavy use of Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and this year also some Nectaron (a new NZ variety). For our 2025 release we're putting a bit of a twist on each beer by exploring these varieties in different formats…
Glue (6.5%)
The OG of the series, Glue, and a very special beer to us. It was first brewed to mark Reg's birthday in 2019, in our formative years she was the glue that held us together, and Glue quickly became one of our most loved IPAs.
Glue utilises Nelson Sauvin and Motueka from Freestyle Hops with a heavy dose of their liquid hop product HopKief™, Nelson variant, in the packaging tank for a full whack hop aroma. Sticky, sweet and juicy. Aromas of ripe fruit and citrus leading into the unmistakable passionfruit, peach, and lime of Nelson Sauvin. Drinks fresh with a beautifully pillowy body…superb!
Glue-Tac (4%)
Glue Tac explores a new hop pellet format Clayton Hops, Amplifire™, in the form of Nelson and Motueka. Amplifire™ is a concentrated pellet similar to Cryo pellets delivering more aroma and less grass!
We doubled down and added some Amplifire™ Oil. Expect layers of passionfruit, lychee and mango with chewy Skittles over top and a clean, refreshing finish. Expect layers of passionfruit, lychee and mango with chewy Skittles over top and a clean, refreshing finish.
Super Glue (8%)
Super Glue is a charged version of our beloved IPA, Glue. Full whack of citrus and tropical fruit on the dry hop and a heavy hand of Clayton Nelson and Motueka. This year we’ve incorporated a big dose of Nectaron in the dry hop. Nectaron is a new variety that brings lashings of passionfruit, pineapple and stone fruit. To make doubly sure of full on hop aroma saturation we dosed Motueka and Nelson HopKief™ liquid hops into the packaging tank.Massive tropical fruit and citrus notes, pineapple, lychee and passionfruit, from Motueka and Nelson Freestyle Hop Kief™ backed up by Nectaron. A full pillowy body with a sweet, sticky finish for maximum drinkability.
