Start the count down, this new hazy IPA is ready to launch you through strata of zesty, fresh, tropical flavours that are out of this world. With the help of "Mega Terps" from Freestyle Hops, 8 Wired have strapped some Thiol boosters to this hop rocket of a beer, enhancing Southern Cross, Rakau, and Motueka notes of stone fruit, passionfruit, and lime. New Zealand, we have lift-off.

For those who want more beer-per-beer, Tallboy is here. This lofty classic IPA stands tall, showcasing a blend of American and New Zealand hops on the shoulders of a crisp and quenching malt base. You know, sometimes, more is just more.

Ride the gnar into a journey of American hops, lapping up bodacious notes of citrus, pine, and la fruta tropical. This groovy sun child offers pleasant bitterness, layered over a generous malt base, sip after righteous sip. Ya dig?

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on Freesyle hop-farms in Moutere valley, rubbing and sniffing the pungent new season sticky hop cones. Sticky and dank with Lupulin, they've steeped massive loads of fresh harvested green Nelson Sauvin hop cones, flown same day to their brewers, Chris and Craig at Steam Brewery, and backed up by new season hop pellets of Riwaka, Motueka and Sauvin, also fast-tracked by Freestyle in record time.

Bach Brewing have been on the hops again... worshipping the cryogenic hop process that delivers concentrated lupulin, which is jammed with the magical resin and aromatic oils. Cryo Genius is brewed with an intense combo of hops including Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, Superdelic, El Dorado, Citra, and Mosaic.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again ... big intense West Coast USA hops! The classic Californian West Coast IPA style originates from the late 70's and emerged in NZ circa just twenty years ago. All about the perfect balance between alcohol, malted barley, and high intensity of hops, to deliver max flavour and drinkability, they brewed their more modern take with a truckload of fruit driven hops including Idaho 7, Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... and reflecting how fortunate they are to outsource their brewing & packaging to Steam Brewing, whose team, passion, endless investment, and expertise are such an integral part of Bach for 11 years now. Juiced in Otahuhu is brewed with Idaho, Mosaic, Motueka, Nectaron and Superdelic hops on a juicy base of Gladfield malts.

Bach Brewing have been on the hops again... reminiscing a glorious safari trip pre-Bach Brewing days. Their latest brew is loaded with a Rhino's weight of Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic and Citra hops, and juicy malts originating from the fertile plains around Feilding. 8.2% ABV.

When a certain tiny-handed tangerine tyrant floated the idea of annexing Canada as the 51st state Behemoth sent Churly undercover - decked out in Mountie red, waving the Stars and Stripes, and rocking a cowboy hat. The result? A Canadian Red IPA that's enough red to make both flags proud, equal parts bold, bitter, and slightly confused about which side of the border it's on. Big on malty richness with a strong, hoppy backbone (just like a true Canuck), 51st State is a salute to what happens when diplomacy meets delusion-and beer wins. Drink it before someone tries to build a wall up north.

Mosaic and Citra Hopped. Lower in alcohol than our usual Hazy IPAs and stupidly easy to drink. Like pouring smiles on your brain.

Welcome... to Chur-assic Hop. Life, uh, finds a way - and in this case, it found a way to cram an absurd amount of hops into this Juicy Unfiltered IPA, 65 million years in the making (give or take). Overflowing with tropical fruit, citrus, and dank resin, this beer is so flavour-packed, you'll be too busy saying "Wow, that is one big pile of hops," to notice the Chur-Rex sneaking up behind you. Much like how a certain eccentric billionaire spared no expense, neither did Behemoth, unleashing a hop experience that's lush, bold, and slightly chaotic. Hold onto your butts, because these hops have escaped containment and they're heading straight for you.
