Reel Hazy Oat Cream IIPA
8%
The fog’s rolling in. It’s getting late, time for a Last Cast? Unfathomably lush, hazy Oat Cream IIPA, brewed with a boat load of oats and full cream lactose, then double dry hopped with Mosaic, Motueka, Dolcita and Riwaka for an incredibly smooth mouthfeel and huge tropical fruit and citrus flavour. Dive into its hazy depths, but beware what lies within!
Contains Lactose
Brewed in collaboration with Black Salt Games, creators of DREDGE, as part of our Kiwi Game Studio collab bundle, celebrating creativity and innovation in the New Zealand games industry.
Every evening, in the world of DREDGE, a dense fog rolls in around your fishing boat and the game takes a turn. It’s this world-bending fog that inspired the beer - a densely hazy IIPA. Who knows what you’ll find in the glass (we do, it’s lush, primo beer).
DREDGE
First published by Black Salt in 2023, DREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent - and it’s beautiful. Steven Green of Nintendo World Report called Dredge a “near-perfect indie game”.
Captain your fishing trawler to explore a collection of remote isles, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Sell your catch to the locals and complete quests to learn more about each area’s troubled past. Outfit your boat with better equipment to trawl deep-sea trenches and navigate to far-off lands, but keep an eye on the time. You might not like what finds you in the dark…
In October 2023, Black Salt Games reported that Dredge had sold one million copies internationally, and by the end of the year was named among the best games of 2023 in lists compiled by Digital Spy, Time, The Guardian and Polygon. In 2025, DREDGE won the Apple App Store iPad Game of the Year.
Black Salt Games
Black Salt Games is an indie game development studio based in Christchurch; a collaboration between three game developers and a studio manager with dreams of bringing their own games to the world. As of releasing this beer, the team consists of a grand total of five people - making their achievements so far pretty stunning.
Dredge is the first, and (so far) only, game Black Salt has released. It sold over 100,000 copies within the first twenty-four hours of release, a milestone that the team had expected would take a year or longer to reach. Ironically, they were on a boat as they watched the numbers tick up and realised that their punt on a gaming studio dream was, overnight, a solid reality.
Dredge is also a great example of their ambition: to make high immersion games, excellently executed and with a unique twist.
