They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here`s one comparing an 11 pound bag of Hop Pellets versus the skinny 100 gram envelope of Hop Flakes that replace it.
(The brewers weight is irrelevant in this equation so don`t ask!)
The math is 10 pounds and 7 ounces of beer stealing hop sludge is eliminated, just the hop flavors and aromas are included.
Pretty cool that Wairoa Hop Extracts has adapted this innovation from the cannabis industry! Come in and try Padraigs Foggy Dew, our Hazy IPA brewed with 100% hop flakes

Padraigs is a community gathering space, in the Irish tradition, so it`s important that we have a large selection of NA beverages for our customers who may want something other than our delicious beer.
One of our best selling NA drinks is Switchel from @hobbyfarmerfoods_co, a local NA drink company.
What in the heck is Switchel you ask?
Switchel is a historically popular, refreshing, and hydrating beverage dating back to the 18th century. It was consumed by farmers as an energy-boosting, tangy, and hydrating drink and is based on apple cider vinegar.
Come in an try one!
