Neon Moon has landed!
Get ready for our latest Endangered Species release: Neon Moon. This hazy IPA was inspired by our recent trip to Portland, Oregon, with our friends at @indiehops and @loughranbrewingstores for the 2024 hop selection.
Brewed with fresh Luminosa, Strata, and Audacia hops – each handpicked by our head brewer, Andrew – Neon Moon brings intense flavour with a glow-in-the-dark label that results in a beer that we think is out of this world.

IT`S GLOW TIME!
Introducing Neon Moon, this hazy IPA is vibrant, juicy and pours golden with a slightly opaque haze that allows the beer to glow. The Luminosa, Audacia and Strata hops from @indiehops create a bright, juicy aroma on the nose. Expect intense tropical fruit flavours, subtle dankness and a burst of citrus fruit, all supported by a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and soft malty backbone.
Enjoy this can in the dark, and watch it glow.
