Get your opposable thumb around Lakeman's crisp new world style Pilsner. Straw in colour and of light malt character with lemon citrus notes and pacific jade hops providing a soft bitter finish. Hopped with Pacific Jade, Motueka, Riwaka. A great match for fish and chips on a Friday night.

This is an absolute belter of a West Coast IPA with upfront citrus followed by the tropical notes of pineapple, mango, and berry with a rowdy bitterness that will cradle your palate and leave your tastebuds ringing.

Who doesn't love a Summer shout? Enjoy one with this hop-forward West Coast IPA stacked with Cryo hops Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic. These Cryo hops produce a big hop aroma and citrus, stonefruit, and pine notes but with a lower bitterness than a traditional West Coast IPA.

The Lakeman dream was born in a small valley with emerald green hills and views of the mountains and lake. This double hazy IPA pays homage to the beautiful landscape of Tukairangi valley. Trial hop NZH 102 is given the spotlight with its juicy tropical notes and is supported well by cryo hops Mosaic and Amarillo, producing a big tropical fruit bowl of flavours.

A monument of NZ pilsner, proudly brewed with glorious Gladfield malts and a free rein of Nelson hops.

Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.

This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

Oh Brother is this easy drinking! Made with some of the latest US hops (treated with moderation) and packed with flavours, this brew is a fruit salad fiesta with a nose of passionfruit, mangoes and subtle malts, a well balanced full body, right to the tropical biscuity, bittersweet end.

It sounds Japanese but it's as American as having a BMI of 32. The Yakima Valley in Washington state, situated in the top left corner of the lower 48, is home to some of our favourite hop varieties, the tiny green flavour bombs that powered the whole craft beer renaissance from the get go. Liberty is what it smells like.

Lion Brown was first known as Imperial Draught Ale, before being nick named 'The Brown Bomber' by servicemen in the forties and later taking on that name in 1950. Established as Lion Brown from 1953, it was originally served only from the tap - a unique barrel shaped stand that became an icon in pubs around the country.

Lion Red is one New Zealand's oldest beers and is full bodied, malt flavoured beer that is balanced with a pleasant hop bitterness that appeals to all beer drinkers.
