Black Mac is a smooth Porter with hints of caramel, liquorice & chocolate. Earnestly made from a combo of 5 different malts, topped with Fuggle hops.

It tempers the smoothness of its toasted malts with the characterful presence of its hops.

Mac's Freeride is a pale ale brewed to be super low in alcohol but still full in flavour by the process of arrested fermentation. Pale and crystal malts are used to give the beer a smooth, caramelised malt flavour and full body. Fermentation is controlled to keep alcohol at less than 0.5% and then the beer is dry-hopped with New Zealand Nectaron hops, giving aromas of tropical fruit plus notes of peach and grapefruit.

Unlike traditional ginger beers brewed through fermentation, Mac's Ginger Giant offers a unique twist with its blend of real ginger juice and premium vodka.

Connoisseurs will note that the mid-palate bitterness and hints of citrus have not been tinkered with.

All the result of Nelson Sauvin and New Zealand Cascade hops, adding a touch of botanical exoticism to your leisure activities.
