Tuatara APA
American Pale Ale5.8% ABV
Tuatara BrewingParaparaumu, New Zealand
Spawned by freewheeling, Californian hopheads, American Pale Ale is the red-headed stepchild of the classic IPA. Big and extroverted with plenty of bitterness, a great APA shows off some fruit on the nose and the kind of earthy, herbaceous complexity Pinot Noir buffs drone on about when they corner you at a fundraiser.

Tuatara Sauvinova Nzpa
American Pale Ale5.2% ABV34 IBU
Tuatara BrewingParaparaumu, New Zealand
Kiwis are notorious for developing an enthusiasm for local commodities only after a thumbs up from the more discerning parts of the world. In the case of Nelson Sauvin hops we think that’s a little unfair. Tuatara and Sauvin were released into the world at about the same time so we knew them back in the day. Brought to you with Liquorland, Sauvinova is a single hop pale ale celebrating the tropical gooseberry hit of Sauvin’s Sauvignon Blanc namesake. Bottoms up. Full malt body copiously hopped with Nelson Sauvin displaying mouthwatering gooseberry, pineapple and grapefruit flavours. Balanced bitterness.
Tuatara Stout
Sweet Stout6.5% ABV
Tuatara BrewingParaparaumu, New Zealand
If you're going to do a collaboration with a chocolate company, it needs to taste like real chocolate and have chocolate in it." That was the fighting talk from Rochelle and Gabe at the Wellington Chocolate Factory when Tuatara asked them to collaborate with them on a stout that would deliver the kind of sensory cocoa walloping you get from one of their own fabulous hot chocolates. After a lot of tasting they settled on 100% organic Fair Trade cacao nibs and chocolate from the Dominican Republic, resulting in an beguilingly smooth stout lovingly wrapped in rich, dark chocolate.

Tuatara XV
Russian Imperial Stout11.0% ABV
Tuatara BrewingParaparaumu, New Zealand
It seems like only yesterday Carl Vasta was scratching out a living brewing beer in a draughty Kapiti shed. 15 years later, here we are in a slightly bigger shed and in the mood to celebrate. We’re marking the milestone with a nod to Carl’s ancestry by hand crafting this mighty Russian Imperial Stout. Like our little brewery, this beer will stand the test of time.
