An ongoing series of occasional one off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in Parrotdog's Lyall Bay Brewery. Limited Release 31 is a Bright IPA featuring vibrant, juicy, tropical and citrus fruit characters from Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo hops, with a cleansing balanced bitterness to finish.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale Ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it's a throwback to the relatively recent past. A Bright deep gold beer with Orange, grapefruit & pine aroma. Taste of Citrus with a balanced malt depth.

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the thunderbird's intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to a hop from North America, where these tales were first told.

Established in 1987, the brand is named after the small Otago township of Ranfurly. A great tasting and refreshing draught ale that is New Zealand

Blush is a low carb character with a touch of pomegranate and strawberry sweetness. Fun but wholesome with great taste, Blush is your guilt-free partner in crime for a night out, or a night in, or for those low key daytime catch-ups. Not like those shamelessly over-sugared types.

Ginga's a cheeky drop. With one big fizz for life, Ginga punches high on natural ginger-root and low on carbs, but still more fun than other, pretty ordinary, ginger beers. And let's face it, who needs ordinary. Front and centre of all the best stories - and sometimes the naughty step - Ginga's a bit different, kind of a rascal who packs more soul. Still mature enough to partner you to the boss's party, though. Definitely. Maybe.

Refreshing as a morning in the mountains, Gold Digga's a low carb character born of the golden-apple orchards of Central Otago, deep in NZ's gold-mining country. All rugged good looks and dry attitude, he's a natural charmer capable of turning even the staunchest beer bros into cyder fanciers. Your gran might call him a "nice young cyder". Your mates'll call him an absolute legend. You've struck it rich in the taste stakes. Gold Digga's liquid gold.

Say hello to one fresh unit. Low carb with a splash of lime and grapefruit, Skinny Lemon's one of those bright, zesty sorts with a side of sweet who'll keep you on your toes but make you feel good. Your mum would approve. As would your mates, who'd say Skinny's got a healthy attitude and is welcome to hang out any time. Yep, no sugar-hype or tight-pants dramas here. Skinny's got your back.

Sawmill have teamed up with Brave Brewing Co. to celebrate what they do best - bold, brilliant IPAs. A meeting of minds, brewed with respect, and a whole lot of hops.
