Badlands - From The Bine (2025)

From the Bine is our wet hopped IPA. Using our own estate grown Centennial (i.e. hops we grow here on the farm), we dose the mash/whirlpool with as much fresh picked hops as we can get in there, and then we proceed as normal with our regular IPA process. This is a unique beer in the sense that we typically only use dried and pelletized hops, whereas in this beer these are wet (i.e. fresh from the bine) and completely unprocessed. You get a totally different aromatic contribution from them and it leads to a decidedly different beer that we can only make once per year around hop harvest time! Wet hopped with estate grown Centennial. Dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka and Motueka.
