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 6 Foot 5 IPA

All tall people play basketball right? I always got told to stand tall and be proud of your height. Well for this beer I stand tall and am proud of our hops. This beer is based on delicious West Coast style IPA's but with a kiwi twist. It has a light malt base that is layered with big American hops (and a bit of Kiwi hops for good measure). It is big and tropical, piney and all sorts of lovely hoppy flavours). If you want some hop and basketball puns just read the bottle.

SOUTHPAW Uncle Charlie APA

Uncle Charlie APA is a full on hop packed American Style Pale Ale. Bursting with juicy tropical fruit flavours, citrus and pine aromas and punchy up front bitterness all from a combination of classic US and NZ hops. The bouquet of hops is complimented by a full malt backbone and delicate sweetness to balance the plethora of flavours and bitterness. Uncle Charlie looks as good as it tastes with a bright copper colour and a thick white head.

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?
