Parrotdog's troublesome original release, named for the problematic first brew day which hugely emphasised its hop bitterness. It's matured and evolved nicely over the years, as has Parrotdog. Big tropical hop flavour from local varieties with strong bitterness from an English hop to honour its origins, all balanced by plenty of malt.

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the thunderbird's intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to a hop from North America, where these tales were first told.

Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds' eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.

This pickup is loaded with notes of papaya, nectarines, citrus and melon, with some bitterness in the backend for a full and balanced ride.

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Super Charger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

XPA means Extra Pale, a product of Quickchange's lighter malt base. That delicate colour though is undercut by a glorious hit of alpha oils from Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra hops. Sometimes you don't want your mouth flayed raw and your liver worked to a standstill. Sometimes a few luscious notes of mango, guava, lychee and pineapple can be just the thing.

Pilsner is famously Czech in origin, but here we've gone for a South Pacific hop profile in keeping with the people who brew it and drink it. Passionfruit, grapefruit and sauvignon blanc characters abound, stacked up on a robust malt base that's partly German, partly Kiwi.

The summer holidays are the ideal time to mix things up with a selection of Monteith's brews. This new mixed 10 pack showcases two of each of the following Monteith's brews - West Coastin' Hazy, Gold Dust Hazy, Phoenix IPA, Alcoholic Ginger Beer, and Alcoholic Hazy Lemonade.

Come on a journey below the 45th parallel. Inspired by the ill fated expedition of the HMS Bounty, Mutiny is a very South Pacific take on an export stout, brewed with breadfruit, roasted plantain, coconut sugar, toasted coconut and Tahitian vanilla. Spirituous heat elegantly balanced with deep, rich coconut vanilla sweetness in an ebony black brew of intense complexity. A dark end to a dark tale.

Crisp, clean, easy drinking premium NZ Lager. The sun is high and the waves are pumping! So all you need is a refreshing Lager to quench your hard earned thirst. Relax, it's only a lager - easy drinking, clean and sessionable. Don't overthink it, just crack into it. Pairs well with backyard BBQs and summer adventures.

A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of Taiheke and Mosaic. Moutere hops deliver a smooth bitterness to complement a mix of pilsner and wheat malts.

Back in the day, Whare Matangi, estranged son of Ngarue, was given a magic dart, or tara, that would lead him to his father. After a few throws the tara hit Ngarue's house at the mouth of the river. The place became known as Te Whai-tara nui-a-Ngarue, or Waitara. Shining Peak's own Magic Dart aims for an American-style golden ale with a combo of US and kiwi hops combining sweet stonefruit and tropical aromas.
