The Beer

One-off Batches


What’s on tap at Goat Bar right now?

As well as Steam Ale & Hightail Ale we’ve got:

Wednesday, 30th November 2011

Double Hightail                 6.8% alc/vol, 35 IBU

A bigger, maltier more intense version of regular Hightail Ale. We used the same ingredients, with less water. Kinda like a short black. It’s brewed with Ale and Crystal malts giving a deep amber colour and rich sweetness. Cascade and Galaxy hops balance it out and deliver a subtle late-hop aroma.

Helles to the Yeah – A Helles Bock  *last keg*  6.3% alc/vol, 24 IBU

Brewed for Bocember. A big, full German lager with an emphasis on malt – giving a slightly sweet, rich finish. This is one of our very rare lagers. We used German Vienna, Munich and Pilsener malts, then twisted it with NZ Nelson Sauvin Hops. Crazy. You’re on the Highway to Helles now.

India Pale Ale                    6.0% alc/vol, 55 IBU

One where we get to show you our hops. We throw Cascades in the kettle, then dry hop during fermentation with a big whack of Galaxy and some more Cascade. Ale Malt, Malted Wheat and Crystal Malt balance the hoppy goodness. Warning: Contains hops.

AND IN RANDY TONIGHT:   Randy Seedy Goat – Coffee Infused IPA         6.0%, 55IBU

Randy (short for Randall Handle) is a device used to infuse hops (or sometimes fruit, spices and other things nice) into beer just before it’s poured into your glass. It’s about as late a flavour addition as you can get.
This week we’re re-living Seedy Goat Coffee IPA, our collaboration brew with Seven Seeds coffee roasters. Although this is not technically the real thing, it’s the next best thing: We’ve put our regular IPA into Randy with Seven Seeds Beans. The result? Randy Seedy Goat. Note: contains love, respect and caffeine.

The bar is open each Wed and Fri evening from 5pm. Love to see you…

    Thanks Julian,
    Got some bad news, some good news and some more bad news.

    Bad news is that Rapunzel’s all gone. Good news is we’ll probably make her again one day (next spring I reckon) other bad news I don’t think it’ll be a regular – unless we get a million more
    emails….?

    Ok… I’ll start at one, 999,999 to go!

    Please don’t tell me there’s no more heiferweisen?
    If there is still more, please tell me you will start bottling it soon?? I took a mate from Portland, Oregon with me to sample some Goat, he was very impressed, and they have great heiferweisen over there! (Psst. Also, its much better than Moo Brew’s one which has too much banana flavour, but can be bought in bottles!)

    oh yes indeed the steam ale is a very nice reincarnation of the pale ale. All too happy to finally have a steam beer in the fridge at etiquette. Nice one guys!!!
