Crafted in cast iron, brewed with skill. This seasonal release with Ironclad is a celebration of doing things right - good gear, great beer, and time well spent.

Bold in colour with bright citrus aromas. A refreshing hit of grapefruit flavours and a crisp bitterness making an easy, satisfying finish.

An ongoing series of occasional one off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in Parrotdog's Lyall Bay Brewery. Limited Release 39 is a Double IPA brewed with a crisp, lean, pale malt base and loaded to the seams with intense US and NZ hop varieties - providing punchy citrus, tropical, white grape and blueberry characters, along with a firm bitterness.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... feeling the effects of exuberant seasonal socialising; Good time for a Cloud Break! Smooth as silk, juicy and bursting with tropical refreshment from iconic hops including Mosaic, Citra, Zythos and Azacca, all nestled on their signature Gladfield malt. It's bound to put some dragon in your mojo.

Kicks off with bright citrus and a hint of tropical attitude with cranking soft orange zest and electric, punchy aromatics. Clean, dry, and just bitter enough to flirt with trouble.

Grapefruit IPA is back by popular demand. A very large aromatic citrus and hop aroma, very lean on the malt with layers of hoppy tanginess. The addition of local seasonal fruit dials up the grapefruit aroma and combines for a powerful citrusy bitterness. Taste buds beware! 6.8% ABV. Limited and sure to sell out.

Ahhhhhhhhh the tropics... Palm trees, hammocks, beach walks with just a touch of heat rash. This IPA is the free tropical breakfast at the resort, pawpaw, mango, watermelon and some crusty coconut. Best enjoyed in the shade, watch for falling coconuts. 6.5% ABV

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.

Released in 2008, Armageddon IPA delivered hop intensity never seen before in New Zealand. It remains a benchmark for the style and a defining beer in Epic's history. It's bold, piney and assertive - for the IPA lovers. Proudly NZ's Most Awarded IPA & NZ's first American style IPA.

For the lovers of Double hazy's! Cryo Sabro, Cryo Talus, Citra, and Nelson Sauvin produces a tropical juice bomb with a glorious flavour profile of coconut, mango, peach, citrus, and grape.

Brewed with freshly harvested NZ Rhapzody hops, this Cold IPA captures the true taste of New Zealand in its purest form. High in thiols and bursting with vibrant aromatics, it delivers intense fresh hop character layered over a crisp, clean, finish. Bright, punchy and unmistakably fresh, this is harvest in a glass.

The 411 on Ruthless is Riwaka in Extremis. A dose of grapefruit and lime they'd conservatively describe as hella with dank overtones. The look is pure gold with a tight'n'white head. Unafraid of it's own bitterness. No diggity. Or certainly very little.
