Parrotdog have just come off their third round of crowd-funded capital raising, getting an injection of $2.35 million from investors who believe they are set to grow even bigger. The Lyall Bay, Wellington, brewery started by three friends all called Matt (Kristofski, Warner and Stevens) is already one of New Zealand's most reliable and popular craft brands and you're going to see more of them in the future. Their Sundog Pilsner offers everything you want in a New Zealand-style pilsner, with loads of passionfruit and white grapes. It's vibrant and bright and bursting with hop aroma. The flavour remains hoppy-sweet but buttons off to a snappy finish.
