We all must sort life's necessities at some point but let's not gift them. Let's live a little and give the gifts we would like to receive. Lakeman Brewery Co. promise this is not a can of sweat and must but a can of sweet scents. Brimming with papaya, citrus and stone fruit which is guaranteed to impress and not depress.

With more road cones than people in NZ, we thought why not throw some in a brew? Not the orange plastic ones, but the whole cone Nelson Sauvin variety to release their hop oils. Big-hitting Sauvignon notes are layered on a background of Guava and soft bitterness produced by Kohatu. This juicy ale sits on a bready cookie-like base with an oily, candied hop decadence.

Lakeman (little), known for his meticulous planning, has delved into the research to deliver a cutting-edge malt base and a grand symphony of tropical juiciness, coconut, tangerine, and a hint of sauvignon. Was the criminal mastermind planning a Pina Colada?

Get your opposable thumb around our crisp New World style Pilsner. Straw in colour & of light malt character with lemon citrus notes & Pacific Jade hops providing a soft bitter finish.

This is an absolute belter of a West Coast IPA with upfront citrus followed by the tropical notes of pineapple, mango, and berry with a rowdy bitterness that will cradle your palate and leave your tastebuds ringing.

Don't be fooled this no adjunct stout has real depth with decadent roast malt flavours and a mild bitterness that carries throughout finishing with a note of cold-brewed coffee.

An approachable and beautiful hazy packed with Mosaic and Simcoe, imparts stone fruit and tropical notes. A hint of Amarillo gives a zesty little finish.

Sundowner is a little gem with its creamy body dominated by stone fruit and tropical flavours and comes in at 5.8%.

Lakeman is truly Taupo proud, and this New Zealand Pale Ale pays homage to their home. It is brewed with iconic kiwi hops Riwaka and Moutere, giving bursts of passionfruit and citrus on an approachable malt.

Officially NZ's #1 IPA for 2022 as voted by the NZ Brewers Guild. This crushing double IPA, named for the legendary hop that predominates it, is one of New Zealand craft brewing's original palate benders, famous for squeezing every last drop of flavour and aroma from its American namesake. Strong notes of citrus shouldn't surprise anyone who reads the label.

Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.

This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.
