Ahoy there, matey! Have you heard of the latest brew from Isthmus Brewing Co? It's called Aotearoa, and it's an American-style IPA that's sure to set your taste buds on a wild adventure. This beer is a true Kiwi affair, through and through. The crew of the navy's newest and biggest ship, HMNZS Aotearoa, wanted a Taranaki beer to celebrate the ship's commissioning, and Isthmus Brewing Co. delivered. They've used New Zealand-grown Gladfield malts, along with the Nelson Sauvin Hort4337 and NZH107 hops, to create a brew that's bursting with flavour. And the fun doesn't stop there! The folks at Isthmus Brewing Co. have even used yeast from the Kiwi-based FrothTech to give this IPA a unique twist. With an alcohol volume of 5.6%, it's the perfect companion for your next nautical escapade or landlubber's gathering. So, if you're in the mood for a taste of Aotearoa that'll transport you to the high seas, be sure to give this IPA a try. Chur, mate!
