The Czech town of Plzen is known for producing a beer famed for its strong hoppy taste. In BRB's Pilsner they use Pacifica & Cascade hops to produce a citrusy, bitter taste that'll bounce round your mouth like a rabbit on a trampoline.

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.

Back in the British Raj settlers were in dire need of rescuing from the Indian sun, so the IPA was born. BRB's interpretation is authentically brewed with loads of Pacifica hops for floral aromas, malty sweetness and a lingering dry finish.

You can't see through it, but that never stopped anyone from clearing a path to pastures new. Yep, BRB's lightly hazed IPA takes your taste buds to that floral citrus hoppy place before levelling out on a malty plateau that few have ever reached.

Pilsner is famously Czech in origin, but here we've gone for a South Pacific hop profile in keeping with the people who brew it and drink it. Passionfruit, grapefruit and sauvignon blanc characters abound, stacked up on a robust malt base that's partly German, partly Kiwi.

XPA means Extra Pale, a product of Quickchange's lighter malt base. That delicate colour though is undercut by a glorious hit of alpha oils from Mosaic, Galaxy and Citra hops. Sometimes you don't want your mouth flayed raw and your liver worked to a standstill. Sometimes a few luscious notes of mango, guava, lychee and pineapple can be just the thing.

Hops are where it starts for the born-again craft head and Super Charger APA is where Panhead delivers. This is an all-American show with Centennial, Citra and Simcoe overwhelming your nose, kicking you in the taste buds and departing with more bitterness than a Palm Springs divorce. It's a seriously addictive combination.

As self-confessed bogans we have an attraction to black. The key to creating a silky death metal monster like Blacktop is the caramelised Golden naked Oats we've built it around. Sophisticates will detect the chocolate and coffee notes of creamy tiramisu. The rest of us will note that it matches our jeans.
