Betelgeuse is a red supergiant, both in our night sky, and in the glass. Rich and malty, with interstellar notes of caramel and toffee, this red IPA also boasts piney and resinous hop flavours in its constellation. The real Betelgeuse is about 700 light years away, but if you're reading this, you're that much closer. Go on, reach for the star.

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.

Elevating the hazy IPA is this mighty Tractor Beam. Out-of-this-world hops do some heavy lifting, bringing fresh and juicy fruit flavours to an attractively cloudy beer. Raise a glass, and enjoy a close encounter of the brewed kind.

This bright IPA bounces on the tastebuds with a POP, a WHIZZ, and a BANG! Sip after sip is lively and crisp, with vibrant notes of citrus and ripe stone fruit. Hope you like it bright, this beer is your invitation to the sun.

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 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.

This Pineapple adds a fresh squeeze of tangy sweetness to Ballast Point's signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the freshness of pineapple perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA is a great example of what got Behemoth into brewing in the first place. After years of experimenting, they knew hopping an ale at five separate stages would produce something special. The result ended up being this gold-medal winning IPA, whose inspired use of hops creates hints of apricot, peach, mango and lemon flavours.

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.

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

Oh boy, what do we have here! Hauled into the Brewery as fast as Behemoth could muster on a blue pallet. A Fresh Hop West Coast IPA bursting with the glorious powers of Claytons trial hop CIP 076, a hop so juicy it practically fell out of the orchard and into the kettle. Expect a wave of ripe orange, peach, nectarine and mango, backed up by a cheeky little earthy bite that reminds you these hops were happily living on the vine not long ago. It's fresh, punchy, and brighter than whoever came up with these puns... Harvest is in full swing, so grab and enjoy - fresh is best!
