Black Rock Classic Draught is a classic full-bodied, easy-drinking brown beer that will be familiar to many NZ beer drinkers (Think Speight's, Waikato Draught, Lion Red). This popular session beer is both satisfying and thirst-quenching with full-bodied malt character from the Crystal and Black specialty malts balanced with a moderate bitterness . Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a cleaner finish. For more body, colour and malt flavour use 1.7kg Black Rock Unhopped Light unhopped malt extract instead of sugar.

This Classic Draught pours a deep amber colour with an SRM of 12, offering a rich and complex malt profile. The blend of MaltEurop Lager, Gladfield Medium Crystal, Light Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, and Aurora malts provides a full-bodied mouthfeel with notes of caramel, chocolate, and a hint of roasted coffee. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is moderate, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 25. At 4.5% ABV, this Classic Draught is both sessionable and satisfying, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Draught with Black Rock Unhopped Light & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05.

The Black Rock Brewing Difference – Born in Dunedin, Crafted for You

Every great home brew starts with a single, uncompromising decision: the quality of your malt. Black Rock is proudly crafted in the heart of Dunedin at the legendary Speight’s Brewery, where master brewers have honed their trade for over a century. We take the hard work out of the equation by mashing, boiling, and preparing our premium extracts using time-honoured traditional methods, so you get a flawless, full-bodied foundation every single time. When you choose Black Rock, you aren’t just buying a home brewing kit; you are investing in New Zealand’s brewing heritage, top-tier ingredients, and a taste profile that consistently delivers crisp, satisfying results.

We stop just before fermentation because we believe the best part of the journey is yours. Whether you are a seasoned all-grain veteran looking for a reliable base or a curious beginner taking your first step into craft beer, Black Rock gives you the creative control to experiment with hops, adjuncts, and yeasts without the risk of a ruined mash. From timeless golden ales to bold, hop-forward brews, our diverse collection is designed to help you create something truly worth sharing. So, go ahead—grab a can, fire up the fermenter, and taste the difference that true Dunedin craftsmanship makes. Great beer demands great ingredients, and Black Rock delivers every time.
