Orchard Thieves is best enjoyed when the sun's out; there's nothing better than that magical moment, opening up a cool, crisp Orchard Thieves cider, while soaking up some rays, telling yarns and recounting the stories that have gone before, and plotting the next adventure. But don't think Orchard Thieves just embraces the daytime! They love the cover of darkness.

Tequila, Triple Sec and Mexican Lime - Made with authentic blanco tequila, distilled in Jalisco, Mexico.

When life gives you lemons... bin them. Instead mix delicious Hawke's Bay limes, vodka and soda for this summers thirst-quenchiest drink.

Pals Vodka, Central Otago Peach, Passionfruit and Soda. It's bit fruity, like Pal's mate Jonas. He lives in a teepee and thinks his goats spy on him. To be honest, he's not really a mate.

Vodka, Pineapple and Lime will transport you to a bar in the Caribbean. Pals are not sure where, since they've not been. But they imagine it'd be a super nice bar, named something cool like "El Encantado" or something.

Don't know what pink guava tastes like? Imagine normal guava, but more pink. Don't know what normal guava tastes like? Imagine a fruit you have tried, but more guava-ey.

Did you know that a yuzu is an exotic citrus fruit? So, drink one of these and you could say you have "exotic tastes". Pals mate Jamie reckons he has exotic taste because he wears a singlet his brother got him from Bali.

Valencia is famous for their sweet, juicy oranges - and Europe's narrowest house. The oranges were far more helpful to Pals.

Blacktop Oat Stout is a highly approachable matte-black monster, built around caramelised Golden Naked Oats that create an irresistibly silky mouthfeel. Beneath its dark, death-metal appearance lies a surprisingly refined character, with notes of chocolate, coffee and creamy tiramisu for those inclined to look deeper. For everyone else, it's simply a rich, satisfying dark brew that looks as good as it tastes - and happens to match their jeans.

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.

Panhead's seriously 'put together' Kiwi Pilsner. Spicy hop-dominated with a bitter bite and major aromatics to hoover - think grapefruit, gooseberry and passion fruit, like a NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Gentle malt to balance the hops. Robust, dry, bitter finish. A hot-day homage to the Hutt Valley's legendary Port Road drags.

Road Hog. An epic old-school clear IPA built with new-school hops. A hot rod icon. Stunning in '72. Resuscitated by a couple of highly skilled hot rod history buffs, father and son. Once the country's coolest, Road Hog is coming back for its crown more than half a century later. Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes.
