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.

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.

Locavore Winter 2024 is a celebration of all the hard work on our Hop Farm throughout the year. The fruits of our labour, the hops, are freshly harvested and added to the brew on the same day. This is our 11th hop harvest and we hope you enjoy the beer as much as we have enjoyed growing and brewing it.
Expect a full-flavoured stout packed with roasted malt flavours and floral hop bitterness. This dark, roasty stout finishes with a clean, smooth dryness that will leave you wanting more.
