AMATHOLE AMBER ALE

BEER STYLE: AMERICAN AMBER ALE
ABV 4.4% / IBUs 42
Amber is a petrified resin often containing mosquitos. ours is a quaffable session ale. Good with breakfast, suitable with lunch and 100% improves sunsets and it can be drunk in the dark. Using a classic hopbination of Summit and Cascade hops, our Amber ale offers a solid malt backbone, shades of grapefruit and a re­freshing bitterness.

GAIKAS GOLD

BEER STYLE: BLONDE ALE
ABV3.8% / IBUs 50
All that glitters is not gold, but beer, Gaika was a legendary Xho­sa king and his name marks the highest peak in Hogsback. Using a wild combination of Colombus, Mosaic and Motueka hops, first comes a crisp bitterness, a smidgen of malt flavour, followed by a soft citrus orange finish. Goes well with life and everything it throws at you.

SMASHED PARROT

BEER STYLE: INDIA PALE ALE
ABV4.5% / IBUs 51
IPA, India - a country, Pale - not Barry White, Ale - a water sub­stitute that keeps you safe. Ours is a hoppy, not stupidly bitter, refreshing citrus bomb that goes well with friends and hot sum­mer days. Using Alchemy, Mosaic and Columbus hops, HBC's IPA offers a super quaffable ale with hints of malt, bursts of bitter­ness and refreshing citrus flavours.

THE SIGNWRITERS ALE

BEER STYLE: ENGLISH PALE ALE
ABV 4% / IBUs 15
Named after a legendary Signwriter, the Signwriters Ale was a 30 Litre Christmas Gift, dispatched in S days. Before Christmas arrived. So enjoyable, we made it available to the world at large. The Signwriters is our homage to English Ales, made with noble hops, offering a rich malty, slightly spicy, always earthy ale to while away afternoons.

THE NIGHTOWL

BEER STYLE: STOUT / PORTER
ABV4.5% / IBUs 43
A stout, possibly a porter, using roasted malts, some hops for a dash of bitterness and local roasted coffee beans perpetually soaked in Bourbon. Seldom available mainly due to self con­sumption of my three favourite things, Beer, Coffee and Whiskey in a single bottle. Try it while you can!
