For Jason's namesake brew, Idaho 7 & Riwaka hops make a joyful noise! And like Head Brewer Jason, it's a hybrid: NZ/American Pale Ale. Soft malt sweetness & masterfully balanced bitterness back up candied clementine through & through for an extended, orange-laden finish. Can you have just one?

For this succulent lip-smacker, Aliment Brewing loaded equal parts Nelson Sauvin + Nectaron so it's all luscious grapefruit & sticky green with lush tropical undertones. Pleasantly bitter & mouth-filling.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... feeling the effects of exuberant seasonal socialising; Good time for a Cloud Break!

It's bound to put some dragon in your mojo.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...plotting the comeback of bright, filtered beers. Brewed for Smiths NZIPA Challenge in Queenstown, and crammed with Peacharine, Rakau, Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin hops, this crystal-bright NZ IPA bursts with juicy peach, tropical fruit, fresh citrus and subtle white wine character. Clean bitterness, lean malt body and a crisp, refreshing finish. Filtered for finesse. 6.4% ABV.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... on a quest for the Holy Grail, they stopped for a pint along the way. This bright IPA is packed with El Dorado, Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Nectaron hops - citrus-forward, tropically unhinged, and nobly bitter. 7.0% ABV

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again ... big intense West Coast USA hops! The classic Californian West Coast IPA style originates from the late 70's and emerged in NZ circa just twenty years ago. All about the perfect balance between alcohol, malted barley, and high intensity of hops, to deliver max flavour and drinkability, they brewed their more modern take with a truckload of fruit driven hops including Idaho 7, Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... contemplating a treasure island holiday, or brew up another hazy IPA and stay local paradise. Easy decision eh.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops... and dusted off an old recipe for their trophy winning Limburg Czechmate to brew a classic Bohemian style Pilsner. Bohemian Pils malts and Czech Saaz hops combine for a smooth soft maltiness, firm hop bitterness, spicy and floral, with a crisp refreshing finish; One's not enough.

Originating from East Coast USA, the New England or Hazy IPA style de-emphasizes hop bitterness and showcases hop flavour and aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit juice. Bach Brewing have brewed their first hazy IPA with a juicy combination of Maris Otter; wheat malts, oats, and a truck load of tropical fruit driven hops from NZ, Australia and USA. 6.2% ABV.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... and brewed up a lip-licking dark beer inspired by the nostalgic flavours of a Kiwi jelly tip and cherry ripe. Nestled on velvety roasted malts and layered with natural cherries, raspberries and boysenberries, then finished with cacao nibs. Rich. Lush. Slightly outrageous. Dessert in a glass.

Grapefruit Sculpin adds a fresh squeeze of tangy bitterness to Ballast Point's signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.
