Evoking the eternal aspect of the lord of hell. This is a Gunpowder Bock, a classic German style dark lager, sacrilegiously perverted with the three classic ingredients of Black Powder. Sulphur, Saltpetre and Carbon. With a clean, vibrant malt profile supported by subtle spice, a savoury note and a moreish dry finish it’s a unique beer. Designed to ease humanity’s passing into the end times.
Once upon a time, before they dreamt up Beer Jerk, founders Luke & Brent enthusiastically got into home brewing in their Auckland kitchens. They named their brewery Small Gods in honour of the yeasts and Terry Pratchett. The names of their beers are all dedicated to religious and mythological figures throughout history. Since those early days another homebrewer, Matt, has joined the Beer Jerk team where they spend a lot of time talking about innovative recipe ideas. Small Gods has developed into a brewing project dedicated to collaborative, historical and experimental brewing aiming to keep history alive by bringing these beers and legends into the modern age.
Mike Cheer of Maltkult might be the best brewer you’ve never heard of. Having cut his teeth at the likes of Harrington’s and spent time at perfectionist contract facility Steam he has a legendary reputation in the beer industry for his technical knowledge and precision. Outside of beer his reputation on the Christchurch Metal scene is equally as prodigious. When we wanted to brew Satan Satan Satan, the world's first and only Gunpowder Bock, we knew we had to work with him.
