PALE ALE
We use whole hop flowers in our Pale Ale, which gives it a pretty serious citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced with specialty malts and a decent hit of bitterness.
CATALINA LAGER
A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of New Zealand Taiheke and Nelson Sauvin. A refreshing bitterness complements a mix of pilsner and specialty malts. An endlessly refreshing drop that is perfect for any occasion.
DOG DAYS
A fine beer – crisp, clean, refreshing and hoppy. Pours a straw yellow colour with a rocky white head, with tropical hop aromas waft thickly out of the glass. The peachy, juicy-fruit hop flavours marry nicely with the wheat malt. In terms of bitterness, it’s firm, but not so intense that it overwhelms the light malt character.
IPA
Our IPA delivers big, rugged hop flavours with a citrusy aroma. You’ll also detect aniseed and savoury notes, balanced out with a long firm bitterness to finish.
CATALINA CIDER
The name Catalina is inspired by the location the Brewery is situated – Catalina Bay, Hobsonville. This makes Catalina Cider a unique offering to complement the Little Creatures Brand. It’s a little local cider, created by locals for the locals and now available to you.
XPA
This triple threat uses three hop varieties for an aroma reminiscent of a delicious seasonal fruit salad. This little beauty has low bitterness and a cleaner, more refined dry hop character, all in a damn tasty beer fit for all occasions.
BARNSTORMER
Made with barley and wheat malts, hopped with Taiheke, Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo and Zythos.
Hazy, rich, juicy orange and tropical fruits with a sweeter desert finish. Like a fruit salad in a glass.
ROGERS
Whole hop flowers used in the brewing process deliver a gentle bitterness and light citrus hop notes that weave together with roasted toffee and caramel malt flavours to create this unique, easy-drinking amber ale.
PIPSQUEAK APPLE CIDER
Some like beer, some like cider so we made this beauty using 100% freshly crushed Australian apples for a crisp character and gentle lingering sweetness.
That’s right no concentrates, just the freshest apples we could find. Pipsqueak cider is crisp and refreshing like a beer but made with apples.

UNDER THE RADAR
Under the Radar is a dry hopped low alcohol gem in the style of Mac’s Mid Vicious. This is an easy drinking small ale made with Munich and toasted malts, hopped with Taiheke for a dry refreshing finish.
DREADNOUGHT
This pours like an espresso martini, with aromas of milk chocolate and a rich creamy texture. Excellent also as a dessert beer despite it not being sweet.
PASSIONFRUIT GUAVA SOUR
Mouth puckering sourness with balanced dryness keeps this thirst quencher appealing to those new to sour beers. Distinct passionfruit flavour up front with a subtle guava finish.
UDO’S LEGACY XPA
Fresh and summery, light in colour, with balanced bitterness. Subtle hops bring out soft fruit flavours of gooseberry and grapefruit.
