Bach Brewing have been on the hops again... brewing up their latest batch for the annual NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft House in Queenstown. As Kiwi as a bungy jump in Budgie smugglers, their all-star all-NZ IPA is jammed with new season Nelson grown Riwaka, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops, all nestled on juicy Gladfield malts, harvested from the Canterbury plains. 6.5% ABV.

An American IPA, sure to make your day I'm your source of hop-seduction. Veins that pump with beer, crisp, hoppy, clear. Here's our San Quentin Edition: Taste me, you will see. Hops are all you need. Dedicated to, How I'm serving you. Hops pouring faster, Trust the brewmaster. The news forecaster, Sings obey your maltster, maltster. Master of puppets, we're drinking like kings. Smiles on your brain and dry hopping your dreams. Too many of me, you can't see a thing. Just call my name 'an pause your daydream Master, master Churly's my name 'this IPA is supreme Master, master. Churly's my name 'this IPA is supreme.

When David from The Hop House teamed up with Churly, things escalated quickly. One minute they were talking about Tauranga's best craft beer bar, the next Churly was juggling hop cones on Wharf Street, setting the fire pit ablaze, and challenging locals to board game duels. Somewhere between the sunshine, the laughs, and the chaos, they actually managed to brew a beer, and what a beer it is. The Hop House Hazy IPA is bursting with juicy Citra, Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin hops, dripping with hazy goodness, and absolutely crammed with character. It's everything you love about The Hop House... with a big, hazy, Behemoth twist. Churly-approved, chaos guaranteed.

It's back, and it's bigger than ever! Some of you OG Behemoth fans might remember this beer as one of the very first seasonals they ever dared to put in a can. Back then it was a bit of a pioneer, and now they've dragged it out of the vault, cranked up the flavour dials, and given it the full hazy treatment it always deserved. They've built it on a pillowy base of pale malt, oats, and wheat to make it soft, smooth, and oh-so palatable. Then they went absolutely tropical with it-packed full of flavours and aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and mango until it practically bursts out of the can with sunshine.

Brewed in cahoots with Behemoth's crispy, spicy mates at Peach's Hot Chicken, this American Pale Ale is made for sittin', sippin', and snackin'. At a perfectly sessionable strength, Porch Pounder brings the hoppy goods without knocking you off your rocking chair. Aromatic, citrus'y and flavourful, it's the ultimate sidekick to a plate of hot fried chicken-with just enough bitterness to cut through the grease and enough malt to cool the heat. It's a match made in mouth-watering heaven.

If you're the kind who hankers after notes of smoke and tobacco but doesn't fancy the off-putting pictures on the pack, this heavily oaked stout should serve the purpose. Rich, dark and woody, Blood & Bone takes Boneface for a walk down the dark end of the street.

Brewed in honour of American bootleggers from the Prohibition days, this APA is loaded with malt characters, citrus notes, all-American aroma hops and a crisp bitter finish. Enjoy it before someone makes fun illegal again.

You can't see through it, but that never stopped anyone from clearing a path to pastures new. Yep, BRB's lightly hazed IPA takes your taste buds to that floral citrus hoppy place before levelling out on a malty plateau that few have ever reached.

Full flavoured & dripping with drama, with Ale & Wheat malts and packed full of local and exotic aroma hops. This lightly hazed Pale Ale is true to style with a tropical, juicy fruit aroma lingering aloft a heavyset malt body. De-lish

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.
