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.

If you've been mowing your super-long lawn, running super-fast, or out in the super-hot sun, you'll need to super-quench your super-thirst. This Pacific Pilsner has been dry-hopped with NZ and US hops to make it super-tasty, while it's light body and crisp finish make it super-refreshing. At just 4% ABV, and 40% lower in carbs, you can feel slightly-smug, too.

Roving. It's something the Irish have in their blood. They turn up in far flung corners of the world, make everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day, and drink stout. Not that anyone is complaining of course. Wild Rover will take your taste buds for a bit of a wander, from a fruit and caramel beginning, through a mazy of smoky notes, arriving at a vibrant bitter end. Open this can and get going.

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.

Havana has been fighting the good coffee fight since their Cuba Street days, back in 1989. That's even longer than our good beer fight. So, this "about bloody time" collaboration is well earned. Deep, dark brown in colour, smooth and creamy in texture, with a sweet, caramelised taste, complemented by just a hint of bitterness. plus, of course, a hint of coffee to finish. Happy 35th Birthday, big brother- viva la revolution.

With the first sip, you're taken on a flavour-packed journey that'll leave any IPA lover grinning.

A pale, refreshingly light brew that explodes with tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and a hint of pine.

High Voltage is a hazy IPA that's all about harnessing the energy of two powerhouse hops: Citra and Mosaic.

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.

In the Year of the Snake, the Hop Serpent awakens from its ancient slumber, coiling around the hop vines of Egger's Hop Farm. With every twist, it enchants the hops with magical power, bringing out vibrant flavours. The serpent guards the harvest, ensuring only the freshest, most aromatic hops reach the brewers. Those who sip Hop Serpent feel its mystical energy, a brew crafted by the serpent's magic. Hop Serpent is driven by the freshly harvested and air freighted Riwaka hops that are known for their bold passionfruit flavour, complemented by zesty citrus notes of grapefruit, lime, and lemon. The passionfruit dominates, offering a sweet, tangy profile that adds depth and vibrancy. This tropical character is bright and juicy, balancing perfectly with the crisp bitterness, making for an intensely fruity and aromatic IPA experience.

This APA is driven by the subtropical fruits (including passion fruit & mango) from the Mosaic hops. The massive hop flavour is matched with a subtle level of bitterness.
