Head brewer <strong>Joe Peach<\/strong> will work off a 10-barrel brewhouse, while also experimenting using a one-barrel pilot system, which will allow him to provide a good deal of variety. So, what can customers expect from the opening-day beer board?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to brew plenty of lagers as well as ales, so we will be brewing an authentic-style New Zealand pilsner and Munich dunkel right off the bat,\u201d says Peach. \u201cWe will also brew an oatmeal stout, a hoppy session wheat beer, an English-style nut brown ale, a Belgian-style pale ale, West Coast-style pale ale, and an ever-changing, rotating list of various types of IPAs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peach also intends to fill bourbon barrels with high-alcohol styles, including a Russian imperial stout, English-style barley wine and Belgian-style dark strong ale. A house saison will be ear-marked for wine barrels, and inoculated with a proprietary blend of Brettanomyces cultures. Kairoa will \u00adbe outfitted with a total of 24 taps. The initial goal will be to have roughly half of them dispensing house beers. The rest will be supplemented by guest ales and lagers.<\/p>\n<p>On the food side of the equation, chef <strong>Oliver Peach <\/strong>points to the following everyday items as exemplars of Kairoa\u2019s culinary style: green-lip mussels steamed in spicy house-pilsner broth with crispy pork belly, a smoked lamb sandwich with mint chimichurri and piri piri aioli, beer-battered fish and chips with New Zealand-style fries and slaw, and vegan chili cheese fries with vegan nacho cheese. A weekend brunch will feature specialty dishes such as bacon-and-egg pie, French toast with maple syrup mascarpone cheese, shrimp and grits with tomato chutney, and mini \u201cNew Zealand\u201d scones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though it has a ways to go before its projected January 15 opening, and brewing won\u2019t commence until this weekend, a sneak peek of the offerings from highly-anticipated University Heights brewpub, Kairoa Brewing, is being provided by its ownership team.
