POWDERKEG ARE FREEDOM-LOVING BEER OBSESSIVES CARVING OUR OWN PATH WITH CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY AND DEFIANCE; THIS IS FREE-THINKING BEER

But what is Free-Thinking Beer? We look beyond the established ideas and opinions to revolutionise a style to create something fresh, interesting and always outstanding. In Cut Loose, we re-imagine a classic German-style Pilsner by pepping it up with New Zealand hops; it’s a great example of how moving past traditional techniques can elevate a beer beyond expectations. For maximum accessibility our beers are also Gluten-Free and Vegan.

Taking influences from craft beer around the world and classic European brewing, we are on a mission to create flavour-packed, easy-drinking session beers that excite craft aficionados and the casual drinker alike. We’re a small, dedicated team who have spent years honing our skills, giving us the expert brewing knowledge to break the rules with a bit of style, making the beers that really satisfy our curiosity, creativity and thirst.

The results of our endeavours speak for themselves; over the last seven years we have collected several top national and international awards and received plaudits from all corners of the beer world. No doubt, the beer is gooood. But Free-Thinking Beer doesn’t rest on past success; we always strive to make the next brew the best one, constantly learning, tweaking, adapting and upgrading to make sure that the next PK in your hand is the best it can be.

Our Green Light Quarter IPA is a full flavoured beer with a tropical twist from a double dry-hop. At just 1.2% it`s a real `anytime, anywhere` beer made for whatever adventure you have in mind.
More than any other beer we make, this one inspires such loyalty in our customers because it just tastes so good.

What`s the robot all about?

Our Cut Loose can design features two iconic PK images. First, the `flying peace sign` which adorns our van and the back of our T-shirts, and the robot, breaking its chains.

The robot is a symbol of breaking out, of getting away from the responsibilities and pressures once in a while to kick up your heels and feel free and alive. Now is the season of festivals so maybe you are heading off to do just that in a field somewhere.
May we humbly suggest a pilsner accompaniment?
Tell us your summer plans - where will you find your fun and freedom?

// We can`t stop looking at our lovely new can illustration for Harmony. Isn`t it a beaut?
It fits so well in the core range family, even though the other three were all created together back in 2021.
Such is the genius of @jem_finger_lickin

// Ta Da! It`s our new artwork for Harmony, which claims it`s rightful place as one of our core range, with a stunning new illustration by @jem_finger_lickin
Jem`s given it a musical slant in his signature style, with a trumpet playing a harp, a singing plant, smiling congas, butterfly trumpets, flying guitars, bird saxophones, a DJing piano and violins playing each other.
Epic!

/// Spring Theory now in stock!
Our first special for 2024 is an IPL, which is an IPA given a long lagering. Crammed with fruity New Zealand hops and given a long cold fermentation this elegant structure spirals into a lively finish with floral notes.

It was so fun to get out in the hedgerows to take these shots, the birds were singing, insects buzzing and the air was fresh. Hurray for spring!
What`s springing near you?
