THE POPLAR SOCIAL CLUB

DUX CENTRAL

EST. 2015

CRAFT BEER, GREAT FOOD & GOOD VIBES

BEST BEER GARDEN IN CHRISTCHURCH

OPEN 11AM - LATE

The venue that best replicates the iconic Dux De Lux that was established in 1978.

Dux Central is a versatile venue, consisting of the Brew Bar stocking over 220 craft beers;

a grand wine bar, The Emerald Room, getting its name from the emerald green interior;

The Poplar Social Club, a 1920s speakeasy cocktail lounge hidden away next door and

Upper Dux, an upstairs event space complete with a sun-drenched balcony, ideal for sundowners with friends.

BEHEMOTH Chur NZ Pale Ale

Our signi-chur beer. This is NZ hops in a bottle or glass. A tropical hop fruit salad if you will. A refreshing bitterness that makes you want to come back for another sip or gulp. This beer is all about having a great flavour packed bigger tasting beer and enjoying the churness of good friends and family. Chur!

BREWAUCRACY Pink Tide Arena Gose

What does the rash of leftist government regimes in South America in the late 20th and early 21st century have to do with a subtle salted gose flavoured with aronia berries, and with a stunning pink hue? Well, nothing, but the colour matches and it was a slow-name-day here at Brewaucracy HQ!

BAYLANDS Sky Surfer Pale Ale

A cracking pale ale with loads of Simcoe, Azacca & El Dorado hops. Tropical and easy drinking.

BAYLANDS Tropospheric Haze

Our latest hazy beer from the Hop Wars series. All US Simcoe, Citra & Columbus hops. 5.6% ABV. Low bitterness. Juicy & drinkable AF.

DUX Pils

This is our ever evolving project to experiment with what is essentially a new class of beer, the NZ pilsner. Always hoppier and more fragrant than our european counterpart, Dux is going to constantly modify and play with the recipe in the search for the people's NZ pilsner. We'd love to hear your feedback and ideas.

DUX Black Shag

Nitro stout goodness. Coffee to start with chocolate malt finish. Thick and creamy with a great mouth feel.

DUX Lager

Crisp, fresh and vibrant, this original Dux beer on which our tradition of brewing was founded. Easy drinking with great food - we call it our Sauvignon Blanc of beers!

DUX Ginger Tom

Dux de Lux Ginger Tom was a Christchurch classic until a certain earthquake ruined everything, including the paper the recipe was on. So we got a new bit of paper and wrote a new recipe. This new ginger beer still has the original flavours of crystallised ginger and orange peel, a clean, quenching suggestion that a curry and night out might be in the offing. What d’ya reckon?
