A hallucinatory, mind-bending, consciousness-expanding, dream-like experience is not what you'll find in this can. It's just a beer, man. But, this cloudy IPA does have a gnarly hit of Riwaka, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, with a tropical citrus flavour, and a totally piney finish. At least it's a trip for your taste-buds. Far out.

Warning, You're dangerously close to a bear. So, now is a good time to study up on the famous Three Bear Rule. If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back. If it's tangelo, say hello. Lucky for you, this Juicy Bear is the latter. An IPA brewed with Citra, Motueka and Galaxy hops, then infused with copious amounts of natural tangelo extract, for a full citrus overload. Enough reading. Time to say hello.

Just because you don't want a beer, it doesn't mean you don't want a beer. So, Emerson's brewed you a beer. Inspired by the big bold flavours of Bird Dog IPA, but without the bite. Little Bird is an alcohol free IPA, with a deliciously-puritanical, true expression of the hop flavour. It's so tasty, you won't even realise you're not drinking. Until the morning, of course. Dry hopped using New Zealand and USA hops for a super-fresh, super vibrant aroma, with a super-crisp, super-quenching finish.

It's unwise to make sweeping generalisations about Phantom Lords. They're not all sinister and evil. In fact, this one is quite the fun, fruity character. Brewed with a heady combo of Kohatu (NZ) and Mosaic (US) hops, Phantom Lord Hazy IPA is full of complex tropical flavours. Pineapple, lime, and stone fruit meet mango, citrus and berries. Just watch out, at 6.66%, it does still have a bit of devil in it.

Phantom Lords are so misunderstood. Everyone thinks they want to tear your soul out, or claim your firstborn. Take this one. Yes, it does the whole Dark Side thing - black as tar, roasty chocolate notes, but it's also chirpy and hoppy as an American Pale Ale. Turns out Phantom Lords just wanna have fun, then tear your soul out.

This Phantom Lord's soul draws its spirit not from the Underworld, but California, USA. As a West Coast IPA, it's absolutely brimming with Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra hops. They were going to stop adding them, but the devil on their shoulder told them to keep going. And he was right. The result has the classic, bitter bite you want, with big grapefruit, resinous pine, and passionfruit undertones. It's the loudest Phantom Lord yet well, it is American.

The Rock & Pillar Range looks over the small Otago town of Middlemarch, that Richard Emerson calls home. Here, locals know Richard to be both a pillar of the community, and a rock. Or at least that's what he thinks they mean by pillar. Whatever they may say, his house is always a popular spot for a beer. And this dark ale will be perfect for a bone chilling Strath Taieri night. Rock & Pillar sits somewhere between a brown porter and a stout, robust with rich malt, roasted cocoa, dark chocolate and coffee flavours that are as bittersweet as the local sense of humour.

At 04:17pm, on 22 July 2028, Dunedin's sun will be fully obscured. Only this time, it won't be a cloud that's getting in the way. It will be the first total solar eclipse here, since 1163. To mark this historic, future moment of darkness, a super Bright IPA was brewed. Sunblock was brewed with Eclipse hops (of course), for sweet mandarin orange, zesty citrus peel flavours, and a fresh subtle pine finish. Best enjoyed with your eclipse glasses on. This beer was brewed in collaboration with the astronomy loving friends at Tuhura Otago Museum.

Coming of Age was built with time in mind. Chocolate and roasted malt lead the profile, supported by a firm body and a clean, deliberate finish. There are no shortcuts here. No added sweetness to soften the edges. No distractions. The goal is a stout that stands on its own knowing that time will eventually take it further. Brewer's Cut is the first expression of the beer - complete, composed, and released as intended. A snapshot of the stout before time reshapes it.

A flavour-first approach in a lighter, lower-carb hazy format. Soft haze, fresh citrus notes, and restrained bitterness make it an easy-drinking beer that still feels expressive. A lighter hazy option, still Epic.
