With more road cones than people in NZ, we thought why not throw some in a brew? Not the orange plastic ones, but the whole cone Nelson Sauvin variety to release their hop oils. Big-hitting Sauvignon notes are layered on a background of Guava and soft bitterness produced by Kohatu. This juicy ale sits on a bready cookie-like base with an oily, candied hop decadence.

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.

Lakeman (little), known for his meticulous planning, has delved into the research to deliver a cutting-edge malt base and a grand symphony of tropical juiciness, coconut, tangerine, and a hint of sauvignon. Was the criminal mastermind planning a Pina Colada?

To distract you from the doom and gloom of our impending futures and give hope to your taste buds, Lakeman have dipped their toes into the use of hop oils, which have the credentials of being more environmentally conscious. Lakeman deliver a punchy and popping tropical journey in the comfort and balance of a double IPA. Okay, Boomer?!

Get your opposable thumb around Lakeman's crisp new world style Pilsner. Straw in colour and of light malt character with lemon citrus notes and pacific jade hops providing a soft bitter finish. Hopped with Pacific Jade, Motueka, Riwaka. A great match for fish and chips on a Friday night.

Don't be fooled this no adjunct stout has real depth with decadent roast malt flavours and a mild bitterness that carries throughout finishing with a note of cold-brewed coffee.

Sundowner is a little gem with its creamy body dominated by stone fruit and tropical flavours and comes in at 5.8%.

Lakeman is truly Taupo proud, and this New Zealand Pale Ale pays homage to their home. It is brewed with iconic Kiwi hops Riwaka and Moutere, giving bursts of passion fruit and citrus on an approachable malt.

Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

Out hop-spotting together in Motueka, Boneface and Liberty tripped over a hidden field of Riwaka missed by the official harvest. The aromas from the ultra-ripe cones blew the boys' minds so they wasted no time in lifting the lot. With Mike going Hazy and Joe heading Pilsner, the Longshot project was born, determined to make the most of the funky overstayers before they succumbed to rot and ruin. Now it's your turn to discover both.

A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of Taiheke and Mosaic. Moutere hops deliver a smooth bitterness to complement a mix of pilsner and wheat malts.
