THE DRINKS
ROCKY RIDGE BREWING CO.
YASSS QUEEN
Blackberry, Cherry & Vanilla Sour Stoopid Fruited. Shockingly Refreshing.
From the shadows of deep space comes a sour born of darkness, glowing with life. Inspired by the power and poise of the ultimate sci-fi monarch, this brew fuses rich blackberry and cherry with a smooth touch of vanilla for balance.
Blackberry leads with deep cosmic fruit, cherry cuts through with a flash of red-light tension, and vanilla calms the chaos like a heartbeat echoing in the hull. Despite its vivid colour and heavy fruit load, it finishes light, crisp, and dangerously refreshing.
ROCK JUICE V15
This beer is the ultimate expression of everything Rocky Ridge stands for- innovation, intensity, and absolutely no half-measures. V15 is the culmination of nearly 9 years of IPA evolution and the most dialled-in, face-meltingly delicious version yet!
Let’s talk hops — because if you’ve read this far lets face it that’s why you’re here.
Eclipse. Idaho 7 Dynaboost. El Dorado Salvo. Cryopop. Vic Secret. Amarillo Cryo. Motueka. Rakau. Krush Hyperboost. Nelson SubZero Hop Kief. Rakau SubZero Hop Kief.
Hypercharged citrus. Stonefruit resin. Lush tropical overload. Dank edges wrapped in a velvet haze. It’s bright. It’s complex. It’s stupidly drinkable!

With only one keg exclusive to the festival, you won’t want to miss this delicious and highly drinkable blast from the past!
Juicy XPA

JKB BREWING
On The Pils Pilsner
On The Pils is made for craft lovers who want approachable, easy-drinking beer that still sparks curiosity. Every sip rewards you: the 30-minute Motueka hop addition delivers a bright kiss of lemon-lime, while Munich malt adds a soft, nutty depth. It’s the kind of beer that makes social moments more enjoyable, keeps your tastebuds engaged, and satisfies the discovery itch. Even when you just want something simple, drinkable, and shareable.
Goudness Gracious Belgian Ale
Goudness Gracious doesn’t apologise. Belgian in character, layered with spice and a flash of citrus from Motueka dry hops, it sips clean, crisp, and dangerously easy. Perfectly balanced. Fully drinkable. Some pale ales play it safe. Some Belgian-style beers are intense. This beer is neither, it bridges the gap: Belgian in soul, pale in approachability, with subtle dry hop and layered flavour that make every sip interesting yet effortless.

An American style pale ale, but not as loud or annoying as one might expect. A stupidly complex malt bill layers intricately with some U.S hops to make a moreish, medium-bitter brew. Our best seller for a reason.
