Beer for Every Palate, Every Day
One of the best things about the rise of real beer is the return of small, local breweries. Here at McLeod's, 'small' and 'local' go hand-in-hand with quality and variety.
This is evident in our winning the Champion New Zealand Medium Brewery 2024 award, adding to our previous win in 2021, and our first-ever Champion New Zealand Beer for Tropical Cyclone Double IPA.
From our year-round range to our mixed fermentation and barrel-aged Smugglers Bay Collection, we make good beer for every palate, every day.
Our fans are as diverse as our brews, so our beer is delicious and balanced whatever the style. Find out more about each one by clicking on the bottle or tap badge below.
Here's to enjoying our beer in your little slice of paradise!
Year-Round
Well Crafted | Steady On
There’s a reason for the tried-and-true, perennial styles that make up the heart of our roster: they’re everyday beers that transcend the ‘everyday.’ Never plain, definitely balanced and always drinkable. You know quality when you taste it. Think of these as the 'core with more,' and you’ve hit the mark.

Seasonal Releases
Innovative | In Season
Here at McLeod’s, we’d argue good beer is never out of season! Yet it does seem that some months beg for a crisp, chili pils while others seem to limp along without something bold, dark and decidedly imperial in a glass. We get that – and we encourage our clever brewery team to flex their creative muscles on your behalf.

Barrel-aged | Time Travelers
Our Smugglers Bay collection deliciously answers the age-old question of ‘what do you get when you age good beer in good barrels?’ You get medal winning brews pushing the boundaries while keeping drinkability to the max! Adding a thread of microflora or lactic acid to the mix on occasions delivers the highly sought after favourites such as our awarded Black Rye Sour Ale or Bourbon-barrel Aged Milk Stout – perfect for those who selfishly like to relish, collect and tuck away.

802 Series
Unfiltered | Unapologetic
Our 802 Series of unfiltered IPAs takes its name from Vermont’s iconic area code—the heart of the Green Mountain State and the birthplace of the modern American hazy IPA. But these brews aren’t just riding the "haze craze" or chasing trends. Each one is a carefully crafted, unfiltered IPA that puts the spotlight on bold, vibrant hops. Crack open a can, pour a pint, or raise a flagon—just remember, when you’re 'in the 802', #freshisbest.
