Let's get Bizzaay is more than a catchphrase. It's a celebration of collaboration. A couple of guys talking nonsense on the radio, for starters. Then Radio Hauraki & Emerson's Brewery & the Dunedin Craft Beer & Food Festival. And now, Australian Galaxy hops & US Citra Hops, to make this punchy & tropical & crisp & refreshing Hoppy Lager. Next, they just need you & Let's Get Bizzaay to get bizzaay together.

A rich, luscious and full stout, tempered with a home-baked raspberry crumble character and a dark chocolatey background.

At the height of the Great War in 1916, German Raider SMS Wolf sailed from Germany to disrupt and sink Allied shipping. She ventured as far as Taranaki, laying mines that claimed at least two ships off the shores of Aotearoa in what was the first known hostile act against New Zealand. One keen Coastal local by the name of Frank Mace, discovered a mine just off Surf Highway 45, pulling it ashore using chains. It would undergo a controlled detonation on the beach watched by many keen onlookers, as the explosion rocked houses as far as New Plymouth's hills, leaving a massive crater that swept along the beach. This West Coast IPA explodes with a minefield of Citrus and Tropical hops over a malt base, and was first brewed for Malthouse WCIPA Challenge 2024 in Wellington, New Zealand.

Don't play with your beer, they said. Oops. Emerson's love playing with Bird Dog. Having brewed a Gin Dog, a chilly dog and even a Little Bird they are now very excited to bring you Dirty Bird. Dirty in the best possible hazy way. All the flavours you would expect from the original, just a little sweeter, and a tad more citrus and tropical, with a slightly piney finish. Best served in a clean glass.

Roving. It's something the Irish have in their blood. They turn up in far flung corners of the world, make everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day, and drink stout. Not that anyone is complaining of course. Wild Rover will take your taste buds for a bit of a wander, from a fruit and caramel beginning, through a mazy of smoky notes, arriving at a vibrant bitter end. Open this can and get going.

Charlie the Cockatoo - a feathered New Plymouth icon - lived until the ripe old age of 40, mostly situating himself alongside the Tea Rooms at Pukekura Park. A brief disappearance in 2013 had people guessing that he'd flown the coop, or worse, had gone to 'visit the farm'. Rather, he had been relegated to an aviary around the back of Brookland's Zoo, quite possibly due to the swear words that he had learned from dastardly teenagers. It appeared that Rehab served him well, however, as Charlie landed back at his usual perch for many more years entertaining locals and visitors alike. This Hazy IPA is brewed with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, Peachrine, Citra, and offers up flavours of juicy stone fruit, passionfruit and citrus.

This hero of a double IPA is ready to confront any foe with power and might. A big hitter with power notes of citrus and apricot, Dragon Slayer cuts through the chaos with a great dankness. This is a smooth, stealth-like hunter you will not see coming.
