Clear Sky Pils 4.8%
Our take on classic Euro lagers. We use a German yeast strain, alongside 100% NZ grown Pilsner malt for a delicate but snappy finish, Pacifica hops grown at the top of the South Island bring a lime zest aroma and rounded bitter finish.
-

Kiwi Dark Lager 4%
Gently bittered with NZ hops, featuring a blend of chocolate and roasted wheat malts. It’s designed for the West Coast and ideal for a knockoff beer, or a long night in front of a crackling fire.
-

Breezy Pale 4.5%
This modern, hazy, pale showcases NZ grown oats and wheat alongside NZ grown hops. It's light bodied, gently bitter and doesn’t follow any style but its own breezy self. Expect aromas full of citrus, grapefruit, and summer berries.
-

Buller Draught 4.2%
Buller Draught is a classic pub beer. It’s made with the best ingredients we can find: malt from Canterbury, hops from the Upper South Island, and water from the West Coast rainforest. All put together in Westport, right in the heart of the Buller. Expect a biscuity, light caramel flavour, with a dry finish and easy-going bitterness.
-

Fresh Hop Draught 4.2%
Fresh Hop Draught is a classic pub beer, for a modern audience. Like our Buller Draught, it’s made with the best ingredients we can find, but we went the extra mile on this one. Getting hops just hours from being picked on the farm. As fresh as can be, for a blast of Kiwi sunshine, right in your glass. Expect berry, stone fruit, and citrus aromas, with a gentle biscuity flavour and dry finish. Zippy, fresh, but easy going.
-

Shortjaw XPA Single Hop
Our golden XPA (extra pale ale) recipe is designed to let hop varieties shine. We rotate through a selection of NZ (and sometimes international) hops. Bright, easy going.
-

Kiwi Double Dark 6.8%
Kiwi Double Dark is just like our flagship Kiwi Dark, but bigger. More malt, more hops, bigger cans.
Made in collaboration with the KawatiriKiwi.org Kiwi campaign.
-

Katipo - Elderflower Soda 4%
This fully fermented soda is light, carbonated, and dry. Super refreshing on a hot day, but just as fun in winter too. It’s an homage to the 90s alcoholic lemonade, made by Miner’s Brewery on this site.
-

Peckham's Apple Cider 5.3%
Classic Apple is made with a blend of apple varieties from across the orchard each year to create an off-dry cider with plenty of refreshing cider apple flavour, hints of stonefruit and subtle zest making it a moreish drop.

Sauvignon Blanc
The 2023 Terroir Project Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc delivers on all the hallmark traits that Marlborough Sauvignon is famous for; intense aromatics, fresh fruit flavours and a juicy, lingering acidity.
-

Rosé
A Provence-style rosé from Marlborough with all the summery cues of fresh berry fruits, white florals and a crisp, dry finish. Fresh, floral and fruit-forward, this rosé is delicate and youthful yet complex and textural too.
-

Pinot Noir
The 2022 Terroir Project Marlborough Pinot Noir offers incredible value, delivering on quality, taste, and price. Sourced from the prestigious Calrossie Vineyard in the Lower Awatere Valley, this Pinot Noir is packed with red fruit aromas, a juicy yet savory palate, and complex tertiary notes that have developed through extended barrel and bottle aging.

Food by Mister Chops
Westport’s best burgers, plus Asian-inspired street food. They make almost everything themselves and sell out every week, so it means you’re getting the freshest, tastiest locally made food possible. Plus, you can customise (almost) anything on the menu, so they can cater to your dietary requirements. Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options.
There is an exclusive bar menu, only for Shortjaw customers too.
Order from the team, and sit down to enjoy a beer in the bar. We might be bias, but we think it’s Westport’s best option for dining out, a quick snack, or for takeaway beer and burgers for a quiet night in.
Thursday: 5pm - 8pm
Friday: 12pm - 2pm
Saturday: 12pm - until sold out
