Tropical fruit, lime and grapefruit define the character of this trial hop from the Bract Brewing programme. New Zealand innovation at its best!

One, two, three and to the four / Snoop Hoppy Hopp and Churly have a hazy to pour / Ready to make an entrance so grab a cup / 'Cause you know we're 'bout to haze it up / Give me the carbonation first, so you can see that bubble / Chinook and hop oil together, now you know you in trouble / Ain't nothin' but a 'Hop' thang, hazy / Two loced out brewers goin' crazy / Double P on the label yeah that's me / Drinkable so please go ahead and enjoy this (Hell yeah) / But, um, back to the venture at hand / Perfection is perfected, so drink this to understand / From mix'n some Citra perspective / And before me sales-pitch, Imma add someting' supereffective / Loral, we could be addin' to the can and changin' the plan / And at the same time evolvin' yeah man / Now, you know I'm about that s**t, brilliant / Ain't no hop good enough to avoid building up on it (Yeah) / And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield / And now you brewers and pro's know how I feel / Well, if it's good enough to get buzzed off, not too drunk / I'll take a few cans of some of that funky stuff

Not many breweries in New Zealand have tried to brew a Grape Ale, that complex yet very drinkable Italian style. But, well, Brothers Beer have an Italian brewer. Two, in fact. Which means they've got a fair idea of how to make one. The only thing is, you need fresh, unfermented grape juice. Like, fresh. So, here it is: quite possibly the only NZ Grape Ale anyone will find this year. Sauvignon Blanc grapes, picked on Tuesday, juiced on Wednesday, dropped into the kettle on Thursday. A clean, ample malt base, gently hopped with three wine-friendly varieties: Mosaic, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin. Salute!

Brewed for annual West Coast IPA Challenge The Malthouse 2020. Using English Golden Promise Malt and loaded it with Simcoe, Mosaic and the new (and finally) named hop Nectaron (formally Hort 4337). Giving you pineapple, stonefruit and piney flavours. All work and no hops makes Churly a dull boy. Well a lot of work and a lot of hops have gone into the beer, enjoy!

When trying this single hop IPA, you will experience what this hop is all about. Second in this series is one of the worlds most popular hops and one our faves. It brings a massive tropical fruit bowl of flavours with aromas of Mango, Pine and some stonefruit. So, spend some serious me time with Me Time: Mosaic Single-Hopped Hazy IPA (you can share this with a buddy if you get a little lonely).

Let me tell you something my friend, hops are a dangerous thing, hops can drive a person insane, got no use on the inside, better get used to that. It comes down to a simple choice. Get busy hopping or get busy... Well not hopping. That's goddamn right! Remember hops are a good thing, maybe the best of things, and good things never die. In honour of what may be the best movie ever made Behemoth make this West Coast IPA using their favourite NZ, Aussie and US hops. Malty, but dry and bitter, everything you could want in a West Coast IPA. I hope these hops were as green as they have been in my dreams. I hope...

A punchy hazy IPA with lime, lemon and big tropical juice flavour from the locally grown, world famous Riwaka hops.

A pina colada inspired sour beer with pineapple and coconut. Refreshing and super juicy!

Cold IPA is the ultimate chill brew, designed for those moments when you just want to kick back and enjoy life. With the first sip, you're taken on a flavour-packed journey that'll leave any IPA lover grinning. Brewed with a lager yeast and warm-fermented for a crisp, clean finish, this beauty is dry-hopped early with an epic blend of Citra, El Dorado, and Nelson Sauvin hops. The result? A pale, refreshingly light brew that explodes with tropical fruit, zesty citrus, and a hint of pine.

Deeeelicious! This beer is a juicy tribute to that greatest of all snacks, the magnificent Jam Donut! Tropical fruit aromas meet lashings of Raspberry Jam and a dusting of toasted coconut in this luscious hazy IPA.
