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

Currently on tap

Tory Street

North End Pacific Blonde 4.5% {Waikanae} In the south of Germany, Brewers make crisp, clean, malt accented golden lagers that they call 'Helles' after the German word for pale. Pacific Blonde is our take on the Helles style lager; using a blend of New Zealand and
German malt, herbal New Zealand hops, and a traditional German yeast strain. Crisp and refreshing Pacific Blonde strikes a tight rope balance
between ready malt and herbal hops that makes the perfect antidote to a hot summers day.

Kereru Pohutukawa Golden Ale 5.0% {Wellington} Pohutukawa Golden Ale is a mildly-hopped golden ale with dry mineral notes from the pohutukawa honey. It has lingering flavours of gently toasted malt and NZ Goldings and NZ Cascade (Taiheke) hops. The Pohutukawa tree is the “NZ Christmas tree” with its bright crimson flowers dusting the hills from mid-December. This is the perfect ale for the barbecue and enjoyment during summer.

Fortune Favours The Speedster XPA 4.5% {Wellington}Inspired by our 1961 Dodge AmBEERlance which once did 0 - 100 in 1 min 58 sec we are thrilled to add The Speedster to our tap line up. Our XPA "The Speedster" is a 4.5%, bright golden ale with a smooth, mellow and assertively fruity flavour. Malt nuttiness, melon, tropical and stone fruit compete in a race over the tongue but the drinker is the winner at the finish. We've gone for a hoppy but balanced beer with a moderate ABV. Galaxy and Wai-iti combined with English malt are what spins this beers wheels.

Duncan's Brewery Zestonomic Blood Orange XPA 4.3% {Kapiti Coast} Loads of zesty blood orange on the nose with a light hoppy bitter orange tang at the end. It’s like drinking a Fanta beer in a good way.

Boneface Brewery War Machine Rye Pale Ale 5.3% {Upper Hutt} Named after Black Sabbath’s Song War Pigs.War machine is an unfiltered hazy pale ale brewed with a good portion of rye malt and a load of US hops.With a light malt body low bitterness and some juicy fruity tropical notes.

Porirua

Kereru Pohutukawa Golden Ale 5.0% {Wellington} Pohutukawa Golden Ale is a mildly-hopped golden ale with dry mineral notes from the pohutukawa honey. It has lingering flavours of gently toasted malt and NZ Goldings and NZ Cascade (Taiheke) hops. The Pohutukawa tree is the “NZ Christmas tree” with its bright crimson flowers dusting the hills from mid-December. This is the perfect ale for the barbecue and enjoyment during summer.

Cassels and Sons One Pale Ale 6.0% {Christchurch} This easy drinking NZ Pilsner starts with a Named One Pale Ale because of the single hop. The palate is, at first soft and creamy, yet tart and spritzy, with sweet malt vying to balance a riot of tropical fruity flavours and tongue-coating hop resins. Then the mouth becomes dry as an uncompromising bitterness kicks in and lingers.

Fortune Favours The Speedster XPA 4.5% {Wellington}Inspired by our 1961 Dodge AmBEERlance which once did 0 - 100 in 1 min 58 sec we are thrilled to add The Speedster to our tap line up. Our XPA "The Speedster" is a 4.5%, bright golden ale with a smooth, mellow and assertively fruity flavour.

Cheese Education and Tasting with Kapiti 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.
