Chew Chong of Canton, knew nothing of Saison. What he did know, however, was how to make a buck, specifically with fungus and milk. He initially made his fortune extracting fungus from decaying Taranaki native trees and exporting them back to China as a delicacy. Then, from his dairy factory in Eltham, he was the bright spark who created the famous pound of butter. Shining Peak brewed this Belgian style Saison 'farmhouse ale' in his honour, using traditional Belgian 'fungus' (otherwise known as yeast) while nodding to his Kiwi heritage with a hint of Kawakawa and Horopito.

Despite the name, 'German Hill' isn't particularly German at all. It earned its title from the blunt local assumption that any European accent must surely be German - when rather it was Inglewood's influx of Polish immigrants settling there in the area in the late 1800s. Close enough, right? Nestled just outside of Inglewood, the volcanic mound originally known as Atoa Iwa had previously served as a perfect kainga for local iwi, giving commanding views of the surrounding land. It also boasted several clean, bubbling springs of water known for its excellent mineral composition. Raise a stein and give a mighty Prost to this beer, brewed with traditional German malt and hops, with inspiration taken from the pure, fresh springs of German Hill.

Bordered by picturesque tank farms, beautiful power pylons and a strikingly gorgeous concrete chimney stack, the Sugar Loaf Islands in New Plymouth mark one of New Zealand's most sublime and lush beach settings - Back Beach. Best accessed at low tide, Parakaki or 'Seagull Rock' is a short but treacherous swim away and is home to a secret 'lagoon' on its back side - a beautiful rock pool of blue water well below skinny-dip temperatures. This crisp Mexican Style Cerveza is brewed with a hint of maize and is best served ice-cold at the height of beach season.

Back in the day, Whare Matangi, estranged son of Ngarue, was given a magic dart, or tara, that would lead him to his father. After a few throws the tara hit Ngarue's house at the mouth of the river. The place became known as Te Whai-tara nui-a-Ngarue, or Waitara. Shining Peak's own Magic Dart aims for an American-style golden ale with a combo of US and kiwi hops combining sweet stonefruit and tropical aromas.

The bustling community known as Tarata is home to less than six hundred people, but close to a couple of hundred thousand sheep. Known for its winding roads, wool-shed parties and red-band tan-lines, Tarata is now home to Wayward Hops - a burgeoning Hop Farm established by Tim and Maggie Verry, under the wise tutelage of Kevin Murphy in 2022. Oapui Road Pilsner is a crisp brew, fermented cold, and liberally hopped with freshly picked Riwaka cones grown in the heart of Taranaki's back-country.

Cold Filtered for a crisp, clean taste. Fresh, crisp, clean and pure. The most Southern Hops & Malt in the World. Low carb 4.2% lager with 75% less carbs.

Speight's is the beer of choice after a hard day's work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight's Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

Speight's doesn't do things by halves, even at 2.5%. Brewed to deliver full flavour with lower alcohol, it's packed with malt character and balanced NZ hops. Specialty Crystal, Caramalt and Chocolate malts bring smooth, caramelised sweetness and aroma, while Pacific Jade and Green Bullet hops add just the right touch of bitterness. The result is a well-rounded, easy-drinking mid-strength ale that never skimps on taste.
