When David from The Hop House teamed up with Churly, things escalated quickly. One minute they were talking about Tauranga's best craft beer bar, the next Churly was juggling hop cones on Wharf Street, setting the fire pit ablaze, and challenging locals to board game duels. Somewhere between the sunshine, the laughs, and the chaos, they actually managed to brew a beer, and what a beer it is. The Hop House Hazy IPA is bursting with juicy Citra, Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin hops, dripping with hazy goodness, and absolutely crammed with character. It's everything you love about The Hop House... with a big, hazy, Behemoth twist. Churly-approved, chaos guaranteed.

It's back, and it's bigger than ever! Some of you OG Behemoth fans might remember this beer as one of the very first seasonals they ever dared to put in a can. Back then it was a bit of a pioneer, and now they've dragged it out of the vault, cranked up the flavour dials, and given it the full hazy treatment it always deserved. They've built it on a pillowy base of pale malt, oats, and wheat to make it soft, smooth, and oh-so palatable. Then they went absolutely tropical with it-packed full of flavours and aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and mango until it practically bursts out of the can with sunshine.

Boneface Brewing are keeping it down home with this blend of citrus and passionfruit flavours from kiwi hops. Music to your tastebuds.

This ever so slightly Hazy Pale Ale shows lots of robust hop character while staying light on its feet.

Keeping it clean is the general idea behind this 5.5% West Coast Pilsner. Fistfuls of Australian Eclipse and a touch of cryo pop bestow citrus and pine character with a dusting of tropical fruit. A light malt base and some snappy carbonation make for a crisp and refreshing break from all that housework you've been doing.

Take a big bite of hops on a crisp malt base and you've got a grapefruit and passionfruit IPA that will drive you dental.

A great APA is the backbone of any beer line up, especially one with this kind of light body and medium bitterness.

Welcome to the Joint Venture Project, a series of brewhouse two-headers featuring Boneface and some of their favourite brewers. SMaSH is nifty shorthand for a single malt and single hop brew, the perfect strategy to plot with Hop Federation, Motueka's lupulin pioneers in the heart of the hop capital. Together they're coaxing the NZH-109 variety to show its good side in this gloriously fragrant pale ale.
