If this was a wine you'd say it was 'anhydrous' but it's a cider so avoid the fancy language - put simply it's very refreshing. Like a slice of cold green apple on a hot day, this extra dry cider is the crisp treat you didn't know you needed until somebody offered it to you. Extra Dry Apple Cider (4.0%) looks a sharp golden yellow, and has wine like aromas of granny smith apple.

The rest of the country blames beer goggles but in Hamilton it's just as often that the fog leads to an overly-generous appraisal of a potential suitor. Fog City Hazy IPA is Good George's tribute to the pea soup that regularly turns up in the winter months. If required, you can give this squealer a gentle roll to bring the haze back, then share it out and raise a glass.

Inspired by the wave of punchy new world hops. A lovely soft malt backbone is balanced perfectly with juicy, mouth-coating hoppy goodness & a smooth lingering bitterness.

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

Greg and Mark Stokes' generational project inspired this extraordinary old-school IPA built with new-school hops. Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty fanging bright tropical tones with herbal, floral echoes.

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.

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.

As self-confessed bogans we have an attraction to black. The key to creating a silky death metal monster like Blacktop is the caramelised Golden naked Oats we've built it around. Sophisticates will detect the chocolate and coffee notes of creamy tiramisu. The rest of us will note that it matches our jeans.

Winner of the Smith's Craft Beer House 2022 NZIPA Competition, and Trophy winner at the 2022 New Zealand Beer Awards for the Juicy/Hazy category. The NZ hops that went into this brew (Nectaron, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin and NZH-102) give it a massive hop kick, juicy mouthfeel, and a huge tropical hop aroma. 7.0%.

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.

Back in the British Raj settlers were in dire need of rescuing from the Indian sun, so the IPA was born. BRB's interpretation is authentically brewed with loads of Pacifica hops for floral aromas, malty sweetness and a lingering dry finish.

You can't see through it, but that never stopped anyone from clearing a path to pastures new. Yep, BRB's lightly hazed IPA takes your taste buds to that floral citrus hoppy place before levelling out on a malty plateau that few have ever reached.
