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.

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.

This Habanero Sculpin adds a unique spicyness take to the signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the Habanero's distinctive peppery, fruity and floral notes perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

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

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.
