Wherever you go in the world, it's always refreshing to see something you recognise. That green bottle, the red star, the smiling 'e'... like an instant welcome from an old friend. Cold, fresh, high quality Heineken. Enjoyed near and far since 1873.

If the sky is clear and cool, and you're very lucky, you might witness a sundog: apparitions that accompany the true sun, an atmospheric trick of light and ice. Parrotdog's own Sundog, a pilsner starring the vivid passionfruit and white wine notes of New Zealand hops, is much easier to find, but just as crisp and bright.

Like a rockstar with a day job, this Session Pale Ale keeps its hoppy flavour blaring, but cuts the alcohol content in half. This brew definitely gets its fans cheering. Mid strength and full-on flavour are the things that make this creation sing. Mid Vicious is the little brother to the Mac's pale ale family.

Bumbu XO is truly a thing of beauty. A smooth, rich and complex rum created from scratch by their master distiller, aged in bourbon barrels and selectively finished in white oak sherry casks to achieve a beautifully balanced, endlessly sippable rum.
