The impressive brains in the Taranaki brewing industry once came up with a genius solution to a dangerous problem. The problem? People were developing a tolerance for Skunk Juice's powerful fruity essence. The solution? Double Skunk! What is Double Skunk you ask? It's a pungent brew of Shining Peak Brewing's Skunk Juice base, with extra malt, a lashing of extra sugar and almost triple the hops. Originally brewed for the inaugural Taranaki Beer Festival, this brew is an exercise in extravagance - a decadent example of Taranaki ingenuity.

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.

In an age where median strips ruled and Google Maps reigned supreme, a noble band of Traffic Knights took to the streets of New Plymouth armed with foam swords, discount chainmail, and a deep respect for road rules. These Crosswalk Crusaders chose peak-hour traffic for a dramatic duel on the city's main street, dashing into battle in 20 second green-lit increments and demanding right of way in the name of noble honour and a great photo-op. Their legacy lives on in this bold West Coast IPA - bursting with piney bitterness and citrussy American hops, it's a toast to those brave souls who would give way to no one except maybe a Ford Ranger.

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.
