It’s a very exciting day here at Elusive HQ, as our new kit has arrived!

This bespoke 2000L setup will increase our efficiency and enable us to brew more beer per batch, meaning no more double brews to fill each tank.

For our new collab with Henry at @sunkenknave.bsky.social we leaned upon a traditional Old Ale recipe incorporating some modern ingredients to make this comforting and decadent beer.

Expect notes of dark fruits and toasty malts with a hint of raisin: www.elusivebrewing.com/bottled-prod...

Join them from 6pm for a casual chat about our recent collaboration beer, Pigeons Assemble NZ West Coast IPA, and check out some of our other beers pouring, too.

In our latest Pale Ale we used a combination of Simcoe, Amarillo and Talus to create something to savour whilst pondering your next road trip.

Our latest beer is inspired by the things we hold the dearest, so some of you might recognise the models on the can artwork…
A can of Elusive Brewing’s “HAEM” Nelson Sauvin Pale Ale (3.9% ABV) next to a branded glass of hazy golden beer with a foamy head. The can artwork is in Elusive’s pixel-art style, showing a woman with dark hair holding a cat while standing among purple flowers, with mountains and a sunset sky in the background.

If your fridge has been looking a little empty since the bank holiday, we’ve got a brand new beer you might like to restock with!

Shibuya really delivers on the fruity top notes, with blueberry and stone fruit from Mosaic paired with juicy newcomer Krush, leading to a clean, bitter finish.
