Born one of eleven children, John Edward Shewry, better known as Ned, grew up just outside the border of the Whangamomona Republic. At 17, Ned and his brother Archie went to work, clearing their family farm with just an axe, a saw and a box of matches. His elders soon saw Ned's potential with the Axe and entered him into the local Wood Chopping competition. Disposing of the local competition, Ned would go on to win multiple world titles, setting world records along the way. His skills became legend that he could dehorn cattle with one swift swing. This NZIPA delivers a hefty blow of Rakau and Nelson Sauvin from Clayton Hops, and was first brewed for Smith's NZIPA Challenge 2024 in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Bordered by picturesque tank farms, beautiful power pylons and a strikingly gorgeous concrete chimney stack, the Sugar Loaf Islands in New Plymouth mark one of New Zealand's most sublime and lush beach settings - Back Beach. Best accessed at low tide, Parakaki or 'Seagull Rock' is a short but treacherous swim away and is home to a secret 'lagoon' on its back side - a beautiful rock pool of blue water well below skinny-dip temperatures. This crisp Mexican Style Cerveza is brewed with a hint of maize and is best served ice-cold at the height of beach season.

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.

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.

The bustling community known as Tarata is home to less than six hundred people, but close to a couple of hundred thousand sheep. Known for its winding roads, wool-shed parties and red-band tan-lines, Tarata is now home to Wayward Hops - a burgeoning Hop Farm established by Tim and Maggie Verry, under the wise tutelage of Kevin Murphy in 2022. Oapui Road Pilsner is a crisp brew, fermented cold, and liberally hopped with freshly picked Riwaka cones grown in the heart of Taranaki's back-country.

Cold Filtered for a crisp, clean taste. Fresh, crisp, clean and pure. The most Southern Hops & Malt in the World. Low carb 4.2% lager with 75% less carbs.

Classically-styled and supremely easy-drinking, Fields of Gold Hefeweizen hits all the marks you'd expect from a Hefe done well. Straw-coloured with a stunning haze, and a nose with notes of banana, stone-fruit, a sprinkling of baking spices. On the sip there's a juiciness with a slightly tart edge, and a wheat base that gives a bite of banana bread. They can think of no better beer to whisk us all towards warmer weather.

Long Days of Haze is a smooth and sessionable hazy pale ale, handcrafted for the summer months. A bright and lively aroma of mandarin, white grape and gooseberry lead to a full-flavoured fruit salad for a zesty, juicy and refreshing sip. One to toast to the good times ahead.

Stoke Extra Pale Ale Legacy Edition.

Layers of tropical fruit (Mango, Passionfruit, Pineapple) hop aroma from loads of Nectaron, Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. Creamy mouthfeel and a smooth body.

This Pilsner puts Tuatara off the map, but like every Tuatara they possess the ability to regenerate. Refreshment gets a massive upgrade through a Pilsner malt base contrasted by bold lime, grapefruit and gooseberry hop armoas.

When a bunch of storm-damaged breweries on America's unforgiving East Coast had no choice but to ship unfiltered beer, they didn't expect to invent a new staple. Lacking bitterness and full of fruity body, this US hopped remix is a tropical, golden murk for people who dig imperfection.
