After a hard day's fighting to the death in the Colosseum, you deserve something a bit special. Gladiator Bock is so decadent it's fit for an emperor's plaything. Rich, dark, and a little bit strong. The blend of five malts meld together beautifully over many weeks, to deliver an indulgent ruby-brown Spartacus of a brew. It's not for the faint of heart, or the faint of taste bud.

Just because you don't want a beer, it doesn't mean you don't want a beer. So, Emerson's brewed you a beer. Inspired by the big bold flavours of Bird Dog IPA, but without the bite. Little Bird is an alcohol free IPA, with a deliciously-puritanical, true expression of the hop flavour. It's so tasty, you won't even realise you're not drinking. Until the morning, of course. Dry hopped using New Zealand and USA hops for a super-fresh, super vibrant aroma, with a super-crisp, super-quenching finish.

Dunedin born & brewed.

This year, the Emerson's Brew Crew went to Clayton Hop Farm on an important mission to harvest a bounty of the freshest Nelson Sauvin hops. And when you pick fresh hops, you get Sticky Digits. Resinous, lupulin covered hands, and a rich, smooth, fresh hop hazy IPA, with grapey, gooseberry, limey flavours. They've got sticky, now it's time for you to get stuck in.

It turns out, Hunterville is a pretty funky place. Home to the first-ever commercial brewer's yeast isolated from the New Zealand wilderness, that goes by the name of Wilding. A funky, fruity farmhouse ale, with a hint of spice, light malt, and a subtle hoppy finish. Froth Technologies approached us asking if we wanted to be involved in this project and we jumped at the opportunity to be the first brewery to use this new, native, commercial beer yeast isolate. This yeast was captured with an air trap on the banks of the Rangitikei River.

If you're looking for a planet friendly, plant-based alternative to cow's milk you've come to the right can. Oatski is a collaboration with Emerson's friends at Otis Oat M!lk. 200 litres of Southland-grown oat milk went into the tank with Motueka, Rakau, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops. The result is a rich, fruity, hazy IPA, with a luxuriously creamy mouthfeel. They haven't tried it on cereal yet, but it's great in a glass.

New Zealand's first American style IPA, released in 2008, has gone on to be New Zealand's most awarded beer. In recent years, it has won six back to back Best in Class trophies around the world including New Zealand, Australia and Sweden.

This is a classic West Coast (USA) style IPA. It has a dry finish, with limited malt sweetness, which accentuates the hop flavour and hop bitterness. So the beer is punchy on hop flavour, and firm lingering hop bitterness. The bitterness is 66 IBU - hoppy, bitter, dry.

Big Tex... the Neon Cowboy. It packs a punch, releasing hops that kicks taste buds awake. Hop Varieties: Simcoe / Columbus / Mosaic.

A Low Carb beer that just isn't about being low carb, it is about the flavour. It is a Low Carb Pale Ale that has the incredible hop aroma and hop flavour you expect from a typical Epic beer. Luke Nicholas owner/founder of Epic Brewing Company says 'we were shocked when reading that Low Carb beer sales were greater than the total Craft Beer market in New Zealand. On hearing this I could feel the pain of a great number of drinkers who were drinking low carb, but at the cost of a really delicious beer. It was time to help them out, as we did back in 2005 when we helped the whole of the New Zealand beer market with the wonderfully dry hopped Epic Pale Ale'.

After the massive success of Blue Low Carb Pale Ale Epic now have a Hazy joining their low carb family. Crush is a fresh and fruity hazy pale ale with full flavour and 75% less carbs than their Joose Party Hazy Pale Ale.

High Voltage is a hazy IPA that's all about harnessing the energy of two powerhouse hops: Citra and Mosaic. From the first sip, you're hit with a surge of tropical goodness - think juicy mango, ripe pineapple, and a burst of citrus that dances on your tongue. The Mosaic hops add a layer of complexity with subtle berry undertones, while Citra delivers a bright, refreshing citrus punch. High Voltage is more than just a beer; it's a vibrant, electrifying experience that keeps your taste buds buzzing long after the glass is empty.
