Clever Kiwi

Clever Kiwi Nelson Hopped Pilsner is an innovative beer born out of our access to incredible crops of Nelson and matched with our passion to explore hops beyond just making killer IPAs. It's our approach to kellerpils, a German-style pilsner that historically undergoes a shorter lagering period and no filtration, resulting in its slightly hazy appearance. Clever Kiwi is brewed with significant and creative twists compared to a traditional pilsner, including multiple additions of our hand-selected Nelson Sauvin. Not only does it receive a whirlpool addition of this distinctive southern hemisphere hop, we further provide an innovative approach by utilizing Nelson in the dry-hop: an envelope-pushing and non-traditional technique for the style. Drinking Clever Kiwi is a soft, multi-layered experience, where Nelson hop aromas billow out of the can and expressively bright lemon-citrus notes transport you to a place you'd never expect a lager to take you.
