AUCTION: Vintage Cuvée Magnum — New Plymouth Bottle
Located at Shining Peak Brewing, New Plymouth
1500mL | 11.0%
A once-in-a-lifetime pour. Our Vintage Cuvée is a rare blend of six Vintage Stouts (2019–2024), each aged 8–10 months in freshly emptied whisky and bourbon barrels. Rich, complex and deeply layered with dark malts, roast, subtle barrel character and a warming depth that lingers long after the glass is empty. Only a tiny amount exists — just enough for the Rare Beer Challenge — and this magnum is one of them.
This bottle is part of the Rare Beer Challenge 2026 — an annual fundraising event held each March during Rare Disorders Month, where craft breweries from around Aotearoa compete using rare ingredients and unusual techniques. All profits from this auction go directly to Rare Disorders NZ.
Bidding opens at $50 | $5 increments | Closes 29 March, 7pm
