The monster hop has taken a new form. The same all-star cast of New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops, now shrouded in haze. Juicy grapefruit, passionfruit and dank resin, fused in a swirling otherworldly Hazy IPA. The beast is back.

Tie one on. Hook Jaw - American Brown IPA. A careful blend of oats, crystal and toasted malts delivers a complex base, with notes of chocolate, chewy caramel and dark roast coffee, deftly balanced with Chinook, Cashmere and Mosaic hops giving punchy bitterness and layers of blueberry, grapefruit and tangerine. You'll be hooked.

A very special Grand Cru edition of Garage's classic, celebrating 10 years of Hops on Pointe. Brewed with extra premium malts, Nelson Sauvin hops and bottle conditioned with champagne yeast. The result is an extra strong golden pilsner with a crisp, citrus and crushed grape palate, rich tropical fruit aromas and lively, persistent effervescence. A perfect pas de deux between Garage Project & The Royal New Zealand Ballet.

Wander into the woods. In the Pines - Pacific Northwest style IPA, dripping with Oregon grown Chinook, Cascade, Strata and a touch of Simcoe and finished with a shot of distilled Douglas Fir extract. The result is a bright golden IPA, with clean juicy grapefruit bitterness, drenched in spicy citrus, sticky sativa and misty Oregon old growth aromatics. Lose yourself in a forest of flavour.

It's treat time. Krush Treats, an extra pale base of malted barley and wheat, double dry hopped exclusively with the newly launched Yakima grown hop Krush (formally known as HBC 586). It's a super smooth lush IPA that's bursting with orange citrus, tropical mango and guava, juicy peach and mixed berries. Go on, treat oneself.

Care for a Liquid Refreshment? This 100% Kiwi hopped NZ IPA is brewed with a selection of Aotearoa's finest and finished with a hit of brand new liquid Motueka Sub Zero Hop Kief. Bright golden IPA with clean, snappy bitterness and luscious lifted notes of citrus, feijoa and ripe stone fruit. Just pure refreshment - it's Kiwi in a can.

Step up. Lucky Devil XPA. An extra pale malt base crammed full of Galaxy, Mosaic and Krush hops delivering clean bright balanced bitterness and juicy tropical fruit for a supremely crushable brew. Get lucky.

It's a resin saturated hop homage. Lupulin Visions - a supergroup of Nelson Sauvin, Waimea, Southern Cross, Motueka and Riwaka, create a golden IPA with bright, bold bitterness deftly balanced with a blend of sweet Otago and Canterbury malts and bursting with intense tropical mango passionfruit, grapefruit citrus and resinous sativa top notes. You can see clearly now.

Marion Street, inner city saison, a style of beer from a simpler time, lovingly recreated for the new urban world. Fermented with mixed cultures, aged in oak barrels and blended with a portion of aged sour stock, it's an easy drinking farmhouse style ale with a subtle tart twist. A traditional brew that's as refreshing now as it ever was.

Beer Festival in a Box!

East Coast anthem IPA - a big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing in intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than it's bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good.

The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500s led to a moral panic, hops were described as 'a Wicked, & Pernicious Weed', feared to bring the downfall of civilized society. Thankfully, they were right.
