Mean Angel 6.0% We thought we'd make another IPA. There's nothing wrong with our other IPAs, we just thought we'd make something a touch... softer. This one is still strong. Like, of course it is. But it's also smoother, it's kinder. In these Mean times, on these Mean streets, you need a strong, kind beer to watch your back. This is that beer. 50L Keg - $410 + GST

Mean Sour: Session Cherry 2.5% Not everyone is on board the sour beer party train. It's understandable. Sour beers can taste like having your gums excoriated by a trainee dentist. Not everyone is into that. Here at Mean Doses we have rectified this situation through clarity of vision, technical excellence and like a million tons of cherry puree. THIS sour beer tastes of optimism, and success. It is like a cool breeze blowing through some hi-tech stained glass window. IT TASTES OF THE FUTURE. So if you like sour beers, here's a late Christmas present. And if you've never liked them, well, here is why you're wrong 50L Keg - $330 + GST

La Ger 3.8% Qu'est-ce que c'est la Ger? La Ger est un sentiment. It's how you feel when you're happy with yourself, and where you are, and who you're with. Pourquoi la Ger? Aucune raison. You don't really need to explain it. It just happens. Try it. Turn to the person next to you and say it. Say “La Ger”. See? Ou est la Ger? La Ger c'est partout. I know I'm supposed to say it's in your heart but no, basically it's everywhere quality beers are sold. Probably it's right in front of you because you're reading this. La Ger est Francais? Non, définitivement pas. It's a German style beer made in New Zealand by a part-Inuit man who was kicked out of fourth form French for misbehaviour (true story). 50L Keg - $300 + GST

Mean Juice 5.7% Hazy Pale Ale Some people say they don't like hazy pale ales. They reckon they look weird, or that the massive fruit flavours are too intense. Some other people say there's no accounting for taste. Both of these groups of people are wrong. Hazy 'New England style' pale ales are awesome, there IS accounting for taste, and we are watching you. You have been warned. 50L Keg $380 + GST

It's Summer Somewhere Hoppy Golden Ale 5.4% Summer - that most intense, but fleeting, season of the Wellington calendar. Where is summer? Sometimes it's an elusive promise, a postcard, happy families in a bank ad. Sometimes it smashes through your window at 9am like the friggin' Sunshine Police. Then by the time you make it to the beach, it's gone again. It's confusing, it's annoying. So look, we've sorted you out. We put summer inside a beer. It's got Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, to give it the characteristics of a classic English ale (which we won't name here because lawyers etc.). And we added Nectaron to give it a NZ twist. Whenever you want summer, it's here. 50L Keg $370 + GST

Mean APA 5% So what's the difference, between an IPA and an APA? The boring answer: it's the hops. The more interesting answer: it's a feeling. IPAs are cool, they're punchy, they're fresh. They're maybe a little loud - like Elastica. Remember them? Whereas APAs are kind of murkier, heavier - gruntier, but in a good way, sort of like... uh... ...well, like L7 I guess. So while IPAs probably sold way more records back in the 90s, and I think one of them dated Damon Albarn, APAs had a track on the Natural Born Killers OST, and a cameo appearance in Serial Mom. I hope that explains things. 50L Keg - $350 + GST

Midnight Tantrum Sabro Saison 7.4% One night Dave came home at midnight to find his latest and best ever batch of saison soaking into the carpet - all thanks to a tiny failed keg seal. the ensuing tantrum gave this beer its name. Featuring distinctive Sabro hops, which give a subtle lime, coconut and herbal character. It all ties in beautifully with the distinctive clovey saison yeast, dry as a bone, bright and sparkling. 50L Keg - $410 + GST

Slipstream 5.2% Lo-carb West Coast Pilsner It's got Rakau, Sabro and Nelson Sauvin hops. It tastes like tangerine and passionfruit. We call it "Low Carb" because "Diet West Coast Pilsner" sounds a bit funny. But that's the situation, low carb means low sugar and less of a spare tyre. Drink our other beers and you'll still be sexy. But drink this? Extra sexy. Like, Magnum PI level sexy. Sigourney Weaver level sexy. 50L Keg - $380 + GST
