Bears generally fall into two categories: terrifying or loveable. You've done well to get your hands on one that won't chase you through the woods. Although not grizzly, Juicy Bear does pack a bit of a punch. Brewed in the West Coast IPA style, it's been dry hopped with Kohatu, Nectaron and Mosaic hops, then spiked with both fresh pineapple juice and Abstrax Skyfarm Pineapple. It's worth coming out of hibernation for.

Warning, You're dangerously close to a bear. So, now is a good time to study up on the famous Three Bear Rule. If it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back. If it's tangelo, say hello. Lucky for you, this Juicy Bear is the latter. An IPA brewed with Citra, Motueka and Galaxy hops, then infused with copious amounts of natural tangelo extract, for a full citrus overload. Enough reading. Time to say hello.

Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson's first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints.

Commiserations. We regret to inform you that you haven't made the Naughty List. You're officially Nice. If it's any consolation, this beer is no less naughty. A big, bold Hazy Double IPA, with intense citrus and tropical flavours, and blueberry aromas. At 7.8% ABV it's a good one to share, perhaps with one of your Nice friends.

This Hazy IPA was brewed by the women of Emerson's to celebrate International Women's Day. So it's no surprise it was made with passion. Two kinds of passion, in fact. Fresh passionfruit juice and Abstrax Skyfarer Passionfruit went into the brew with Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe hops. It's intensely tart, tangy and fruity. The kind of flavour you'll feel strongly about. Passionate, even.

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.

Epic BLUE Low Carb Pale Ale delivers crisp refreshment with less than half the carbs of Epic Pale Ale. A blend of Pale Ale and Pilsner malts creates a light golden body with subtle malt sweetness, while carefully selected hops drive its bright, signature aroma. Crafted with meticulous hop sourcing and close relationships with growers, this 4.8% pale ale brings full flavour without the weight.

A flavour-first approach in a lighter, lower-carb hazy format. Soft haze, fresh citrus notes, and restrained bitterness make it an easy-drinking beer that still feels expressive. A lighter hazy option, still Epic.

Fire Horse is this year's annual fresh hop release from Epic. Using fresh Riwaka hops from Eggers Hop Farm in upper Moutere, the hops are picked at peak condition and flown same day from farm to brewery, then brewed the same day while their oils and aromatics are at full intensity. This narrow harvest window is the only time a beer like this can be made during the year - capturing freshness, energy, bold juice and aroma that simply doesn't exist outside the season.

A bold evolution of the pilsner tradition, brewed with the spirit of San Francisco's iconic landmark. Crisp NZ pilsner malt lays the foundation, lifted by a touch of Vienna to support its bigger 6.7% frame. Then comes the hop wave: Citra leads with bright bursts of lime, grapefruit, and mango, while Mosaic adds layers of berry and resin. Like the bridge it's named after, Golden Gate West Coast Pilsner connects worlds: tradition and innovation, refreshment and intensity, New Zealand craft and California inspiration.

Harmonic Haze Machine pours a glowing, hazy golden hue with a soft, pillowy body that feels like weather you can drink. The aroma pulses with bright citrus, soft stonefruit, and a gentle tropical lift, while the palate delivers smooth waves of juicy fruit wrapped in a silky haze. The finish is balanced, seamless, and almost weightless - a clean fade-out that hums quietly on the palate like a lingering frequency. Smooth, hazy, and ridiculously easy to sink into.

Released in 2011, Hop Zombie quickly earned cult status around the globe. Built with multiple dry hop additions and a massive hop load. Hop Zombie delivers dense tropical fruit, sticky resin, and a long, saturated finish. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion... join the Hop Zombie Revolution!
