Buy OnlineNew Zealand’s favourite beer is back!
After the success of previous years which have gold medals, trophy’s and 5 star reviews, Liberty Prohibition Porter 2023 has been highly anticipated. Spending time in American Bourbon barrels, the result is one of the most amazing beers we’ve tried. Full of flavour, intense, rich, smooth, warm and just wow! But at 12.3% alcohol it pays to be a bit careful! A best before date of 2040 ensures this is a beer to drink now or tuck away for years to come.
Brewery Notes
"While insipid bootlegged ales were axed by the pious, sly grog shops and speakeasies continued to serve the good stuff. Those in the know indulged in tipples made all the more sweet by their illicit nature, like this richly textured Prohibition Porter. Secreted in charred oak bourbon barrels it envelopes your tastebuds in chocolately brown malts before steamrollering them with a heady amalgam of oak and caramel."

Beer scribe Michael Donaldson says…
"New Zealand has a new favourite beer but you'll have to be quick to get your hands on some. Liberty Brewing's Prohibition Porter this month rose to No 1 on Untappd's list of New Zealand's top-rated beers. This is the second vintage of Prohibition Porter – the first was aged in old Wild Turkey barrels and this one is aged in Jack Daniels barrels for 9 months. The beer is bottled into imported black glass bottles designed to give a shelf life of 25 years!"

"A magnificent New Zealand craft beer in a class of its own. One of the very best. In a piece of brewing magic the bourbon takes the rich dark porter to new heights of taste sensation. Brings massive flavour for after dinner or end of the night special moments. Serve in a wine glass not too cold. Take small sips and enjoy."

"Pouring thick and black like engine oil, this bourbon barrel aged Porter internalises its sweetness in just the right way. The bourbon mingles with the chocolatey notes of the Porter like one of those alcoholic chocolates your aunty gives your mum for Christmas. Despite the alcohol content, it’s not overly sweet or boozytasting. It would be ideal split between two as a dessert pairing."
