NZ Pilsner
Pilsner is a blonde lager that gets its name from the Bohemian city of Pilsen, first produced in 1842. using the lager yeast strain it's far more tolerant to cold temperatures than Ale yeast strains are. The suppressive effects of the cold temperatures typically used to brew a lager (coupled with their longer aging times) results in a cleaner flavour profile than you might otherwise find in an ale... our youngest addition to the menu, but likely a mainstay, Scotts NZ Pilsner is crisp, dry & good clean fun!
Filled to the brim with a blend of American and NZ hops, there’s nothing traditional about this.
West Coast Pilsner hopped with Citra and Idaho 7. Crisp, clean and refreshing
Our light entry beer, a great thirst quencher with all the great attributes of a lager.
Originating in Austria, Vienna Lager really took off in America pre-1919 (when prohibition began), hence coined the term “Pre Prohibition Lager”. Our old world Vienna-style lager begins with crystal clear Alpine Water. Fermented very cold and slow. The result is a copper coloured lager that has a noted malty sweetness with a touch more richness than your usual lager. Hopped to balance the distinct toasty malt profile. The finish – clean, crisp and perfectly dry.
Summit Ultra is a refreshing golden lager with a crisp finish. Brewed for longer it has 75% less carbs than the average carb content of leading NZ beer brands.
We love food-friendly, trad styles here at Aliment, & this Munich Helles melds only German malt, yeast & hops for a bona fide pedigree. With clean fermentation, a hint of herbal Hallertau hops over smooth malt & body, it has just enough bitterness to keep it refreshing. Named after our German-Kiwi friend Andy, it’s rooted in tradition, has good taste & is always great to have around.
