There's an elemental darkness at the heart of this massive Black Barley and Rye Wine. You can feel it wafting rich, dark fruit up from the glass with powerful overtones of tobacco and bourbon. Like its stable mate The Vandal, Black Sabbath is inspired by a famous John Reid-built kiwi hot rod, but at the same time Panhead think its strength and uncompromising character also pay considerable tribute to the rock and roll originators of the name.

As self-confessed bogans we have an attraction to black. The key to creating a silky death metal monster like Blacktop is the caramelised Golden naked Oats we've built it around. Sophisticates will detect the chocolate and coffee notes of creamy tiramisu. The rest of us will note that it matches our jeans.

The Vandal rides again. NZ's sickest bucket has had a few facelifts since John Reid built it in the 60's and Panhead would like to put their tribute brew back up on the hoist too. This incarnation is powered by 2023's dankest Nelson Sauvin flown straight from the vine to the whirlpool, brining fresh harvest funk to our infamous IPA. Savour it. The Vandal's about as green as we petrolheads get.

Flying blind through time, to Teretonga and beyond. An explosive cast iron junker housing twenty five hundred horses. Enough power to transport you to a bygone era. Just fill it with nitromethane, light the fuse and hang on. Shazam. Plug in your lugs for the assault on the senses that is Karl Boniface's Chevy Vega nitro funny car, starring in our social feeds now. Karl loves giving crowds something they've never seen before, like this Fresh Hop Pale Ale, serving white grape, passionfruit and lemon zest vibes over a honey malt base.

Pilsner is famously Czech in origin, but here we've gone for a South Pacific hop profile in keeping with the people who brew it and drink it. Passionfruit, grapefruit and sauvignon blanc characters abound, stacked up on a robust malt base that's partly German, partly Kiwi.

In hot rodding a Rat Rod is a chopped, low slung, rough and rusty special, designed for go more than show. A little like a classic hazy IPA in other words. There's a monster American hopping regime inside this unfiltered diamond, throwing the juicy orange and fruit salad characters forward without too much bitterness or malty sophistication.

In this Panhead x Rolling Stone Collaboration. NZ cult hop Nectaron® takes centre stage supported by Eclipse and Nelson Sauvin. Expect Intense tropical fruit and citrus aroma characters, just the right amount of bitterness and a smooth finish. Stomp the pedal and hit the lights. The Nays must never have it!

An easy eski companion, inspired by an iconic ride. Tropical. Juicy. A southern hemisphere sun chaser. Drop the tailgate, catch rays and recline in a wagon built for sha... sharing.

A bumper dragging, boot flapping, blistered and blistering Bel Air driven mad by its maker. Born with two wheels too many. Bought for the doors and left to fester til Russ Lowe turned it from wreck to racecar in 42 days. A quintessential gasser, deranged and named after a mate's magic act. Ain't no trailer queen. Happily thrashed metal. In a broken stone age dawn she flies so high. Strange Magic, a perfectly dishevelled '56 Chev is wheelstanding its way via video into our social feeds now. This half Sour, half Hazy IPA is also built with bits and pieces, and its bold, juicy, citrus bounce is a crowd pleaser like its namesake.

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Super Charger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.
