The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500s led to a moral panic, hops were described as 'a Wicked, & Pernicious Weed', feared to bring the downfall of civilized society. Thankfully, they were right.

It's malt's time to shine! Screaming Goat, German style Bock beer, a gorgeous garnet and mahogany dark lager where hops definitely take a back seat. Incredibly balanced and easy to drink, with smooth, malt driven biscuit and toasted hazelnut notes. It's malt, with a little Rock n' Roll swagger. Throw me some horns.

Showcasing Mosaic hops from the US, this beer is packed with fruity aromas and has a delightfully dense tropical hop flavour. Low in bitterness; it pours a golden colour with a pronounced haze. Aromas of lush mango and stone-fruit on the nose, it finishes with big, juicy notes of citrus.

Melt your way into this juicy hazy. With sonic booms, lava, and destruction all around, this brew erupts with bold bursts of tangerine, mango, and pineapple, layered over a bready base. It's a tropical explosion in every sip - and it'll go down faster than a helium balloon in a lava field.

A little beauty of a hazy IPA hopped with Simcoe, Citra, Cryo Mosaic, and NZH-105. Lakeman think the combination of Cryo Mosaic and NZH-105 is a match made in heaven that makes this beer pop. Vibrant notes of tropical mango, berries, and floral notes. Light and moreish.

This hero of a double IPA is ready to confront any foe with power and might. A big hitter with power notes of citrus and apricot, Dragon Slayer cuts through the chaos with a great dankness. This is a smooth, stealth-like hunter you will not see coming.

No guarantees this hazy IPA won't send you a little loopy-or downright loco. One sip and you're getting pushed 'round the bend by a fruit-forward punch of juicy peach, ripe mango, and tropical pineapple, all riding smooth on a pillowy malt base.

Lakeman's hand-picked mixed six selection. Stacked full of award-winning brews from Pilsners to IPA's and the odd seasonal release. It might just be the most-awarded Hairy Box in New Zealand.

We all must sort life's necessities at some point but let's not gift them. Let's live a little and give the gifts we would like to receive. Lakeman Brewery Co. promise this is not a can of sweat and must but a can of sweet scents. Brimming with papaya, citrus and stone fruit which is guaranteed to impress and not depress.

With more road cones than people in NZ, we thought why not throw some in a brew? Not the orange plastic ones, but the whole cone Nelson Sauvin variety to release their hop oils. Big-hitting Sauvignon notes are layered on a background of Guava and soft bitterness produced by Kohatu. This juicy ale sits on a bready cookie-like base with an oily, candied hop decadence.

For the lovers of Double hazy's! Cryo Sabro, Cryo Talus, Citra, and Nelson Sauvin produces a tropical juice bomb with a glorious flavour profile of coconut, mango, peach, citrus, and grape.

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.
