Thirst Contact

A connection through the Galaxy... From AUS to NZ!

Quit the Hazy Habit Cold Turkey with a Cold IPA

This Trans Tasman Collaboration with Currumbin Valley Brewing was a new approach for us! Both breweries not only developed the recipe together, but while we did the illustration, they brought the Word Mark branding aspect. Both beers were launched side-by-side at Beervana! We have made a new delicious beer as a bigger team and it’s the first DVB recipe brewed in AUS and the first CVB recipe brewed in NZ. Cheers to Teamwork!

Clean, lean, bitter and mean. The Cold IPA is a hoppy force to be reckoned with. Thirst Contact – our Trans Tasman Collaboration with Currumbin Valley Brewing, Carwyn Cellars and Beer Jerk– starts off on a lean malt base of Gladfieldmalt Lager Light and Vienna with some Briess Flaked Corn. Then the fun begins with the hops with NZ Hops Nelson Sauvin + Riwaka combining with Hop Products Australia Eclipse + Galaxy to boot. All finished up with a lager yeast to keep it clean. The hop oils are resin city and the bitterness is championed in the style.

  • ABV 6.6%
  • Style Cold IPA
  • Flavours The hops bring flat-out grapefruit, passionfruit, honeydew melon and a perfect slither of piny dankness to the party. It is the best of what NZ and AUS have to offer, with a few US corn flakes thrown in for good measure. Enjoy cold and fresh! Thirsty yet?
