Fresh Craft Beer now pouring at Moore Wilson's Tory Street and Porirua Wine, Beer & Spirits Stores.

Currently on tap

Tory Street

Heyday Primo Pils 5.5% {Wellington} Primo is made with 100% Gladfield Pilsner malt. Showcasing Motueka and NZ Liberty hops in the whirlpool, fermented with lager yeast and dry hopped with Nelson Sauvin. Primo Pils is New Zealand style Pilsner, with aromatic notes of lychee, gooseberries and lime zest.

Double Vision Repeat Offender NZ Pils 5.1% {Wellington} This easy drinking NZ Pilsner starts with a traditional Pilsner malt base and mixes the dynamic Aotearoa hop duo of Nelson Sav and Rakau to bring a start to finish crisp and balanced character. Brewed with a traditional lager yeast and a fruitful hop bill, this is a session beer to keep you coming back as a repeat offender. Guilty as charged.

Te Aro Dragon APA 5.7%  {Wellington} Dragon APA has a slightly sweet aroma with citrus and herbal pine flavours from Mosaic and Flaconers Flight hops. The use of Gladfields American Ale, Wheat and Medium Crystal malts creates a medium bodied and quaffable APA.

Renaissance Maiden Voyage Fresh Hop IPA 7.0% {Wellington} To brew this special Ale we have used large amounts of freshly harvested hops, and for that we have selected one of New Zealand sexiest hop varieties, Wai-Iti. Part of NZ ‘Hops with a difference’ breeding program Wai-Iti bursts with mandarin and lime zest and leaves the ale with a smooth finish. The huge soft bitterness is balanced by the malt sweetness of the base beer we also added a small amount of rye malt for a hint of spice yielding a very drinkable IPA.

Renaissance Fellowship Aotearoa Pale Ale 5.3%  {Blenheim} This beer is a take on the New World Pale Ale. Four malts produce the beer’s rich amber hue and biscuity, malt flavours, while our London ale yeast contributes its own tart, berry-like signature. This underlying palate then balances the rich complex blend of hops [including ever-changing Orbit (Orphan Hop Research Blend)] which yield a symphony of resiny kiwi hop flavours of citrus, ripe stone-fruit and passionfruit which dominate the beers lingering finish.

Joining the Chook Wagon and Miki Sushi, Pop-up Food Pods are the latest addition to our takeaway food offering! 

Located in the Piazza at Moore Wilson's College Street, Food Pods provide a chance for local artisans to 'pop-up' for a limited time and share their take on street food direct to the Wellington public. Here's what's on right now:

Pod 1: Olive.

Proprietors, Head Chef Jamie Morgan and brothers Ferdi and Carlo Petagna, first came into contact in 2008 at Fratelli on Blair Street, which the brothers had just opened. A few years later the boys reunited to try their hand at something a bit different, which they found in Olive. With prominent careers in the Wellington and Australian hospitality industries their combined experience and friendship is reflected in the unique and friendly atmosphere at Olive.

A Cuba Street favourite, Olive is known for its innovative menu that showcases the best of fresh local and seasonal produce - the best the region has to offer.

Olive is closed until 18^th July for earthquake strengthening but you don’t have to miss out – they’ll be serving up some favourites from the Moore Wilson’s Pop-Up Pods!

POP-UP MENU

Bacon buttie with tomato kasundi $9

Slow cooked pork ribs with slaw and ranch dressing $12

Line caught tuna melt with salad $12

HOURS

Monday to Sunday 9.30am to 3.00pm

Here until Sunday 8th July 2018.

Pod 2: Fratelli 

Fratelli translates as Brothers, a fitting name for one of Wellington’s top Italian restaurants, owned by brother’s Ferdi and Carlo Petagna. Opened in March 2009 the brothers set out to give Wellington something that was missing from its dining scene, a good quality Italian restaurant serving fresh Italian cuisine.

At Fratelli the concept is Fresh Italian. It takes bits of the old traditional Italian cooking styles and assembles them with new modern ideas, with a menu that changes seasonally ensuring only the freshest ingredients are used.

POP-UP MENU

Vegetable minestrone with orzo & parmesan $8

Orecchiette pasta with braised Lamb Ragu OR Bacon, black pepper & cheesy Parmesan sauce $12

Vanilla Panna Cotta with boysenberry coulis $4

HOURS
Monday to Sunday 11.00am to 3.00pm

Here until Sunday 1st July 2018.

Cheese Education and Tasting with Kapiti Cheese.

Kapiti Cheese was born in the Lower North Island almost 30 years ago and brought new, exciting and memorable cheeses to the New Zealand public - taking us way beyond the familiar favourite block of yellow cheddar!

Join Kapiti Cheese experts Justin and Julie to kick of cheese month with a workshop dedicated to all things cheese.

First watch as they demonstrate one of their favourite ways to cook with cheese and while this bubbles away in the oven you’ll take a taste journey through different cheese varieties from fresh all the way to blue cheese. Learn how each cheese is made and the history behind it and take the opportunity to ask any cheese related questions you may have.

Tickets $20 including a complimentary coffee on the day.
Tickets available from Tory St Fresh Coffee Counter.
Spaces are limited. Book early to avoid missing out!
