Here`s a cool picture comparing Hops to Hop Flakes
- 100g of Flake-It Hop Flakes replaces 11 lbs of Hops -
When brewing our Hazy IPA, that means 10 pounds and 7 ounces of beer stealing hop sludge is eliminated, just the hop flavors and aromas are added to the brew
Thanks cannabis industry for coming up with this innovation!
More thanks to Wairoa Hop Extracts for adapting it to beer brewing!
Come in and try Padraigs Foggy Dew, our Hazy IPA brewed with 100% hop flakes

Let the sleeping dog lie?
Did the Nutso`s get some Divine help? It sure looks like it!
Another crazy Trivia Thursday!
Thank You James and @triviamafia for another fun & challenging evening!
In addition to the delicious beer, Pizzas, Pasties and Pretzels were flying out of Sam`s Snack Bar and of course we need to mention that we have biggest NA selection of ANY brewery! Yep. It`s a pretty fancy place.
But most importantly, it`s definitely the BEST Thursday trivia game in town, and probably the most interesting if last night was any clue.
Are you missing out on the fun? Get in here.

When we named our Hazy IPA "Foggy Dew" in 2023, after the Irish Rebel Ballad about the beginning of the Irish revolution in 1916, little did we expect that this same beer would lead the Hop Flake revolution for Hazy IPAs.
Here`s our Head Brewer, @danpund with the first pour of Foggy Dew.
It`s on tap at Padraigs, stop in and join the revolution.
Thank you @flakeit_nz for the opportunity.
