Range.
Our finest beers are now available in 328ml bottles, 440ml cans & 330ml cans.
Cassels are one of only a few breweries in New Zealand who choose to use a high percentage of whole hops in all our beer styles to ensure we achieve the character and quality we desire.
We also aim to source ingredients which are produced in our own “backyard” including malts from Dunsandel in Canterbury and hops from the Upper South Island.
The result? A range of well-balanced, full-bodied, top-quality beers.

Light Owl
- ABV: 2.5%
- Awards: 2022 World Beer Awards Country Winner, 2022 World Beer Awards NZ Gold

While low in alcohol, our Light Owl beer has been brewed to maximise personality. Chinook hops bring a distinctive pine aroma which is rounded out by the citrusy, floral flavours of the Taiheke hops. A bit of alchemy in the brew as we tinker with gravity, the result being a full-bodied, big character beer despite the low ABV.
