East Coast anthem IPA - a big ol' hop poppa of a beer, packing in intense mango, tropical fruit hit from US big guns, Simcoe and Mosaic. It's just bigger and juicier than it's bitter West Coast counterpart, like sippin' hazy hop nectar from a can. It's all good.

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.

A hidden valley of hops. Tutaki Haze, luscious hazy IPA, brewed with juicy New Zealand grown malted barley, wheat and oats and hops grown on the Nelson Lakes farm at the meeting point of the Matakitaki and Tutaki rivers. It's Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka like never before, loaded with ripe tropical mango, passionfruit and lifted lime citrus. Discover a new world of flavour.

A golden and juicy hazy pale ale with all the hoppy goodness and a more moderate alcohol level to extend those sessions in the deckchair, or however you enjoy your fine hazzies.

The rest of the country blames beer goggles but in Hamilton it's just as often that the fog leads to an overly-generous appraisal of a potential suitor. Fog City Hazy IPA is Good George's tribute to the pea soup that regularly turns up in the winter months.

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.

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.

Burning through the night sky is this cosmic West Coast IPA. Radiating flavours of the tropics, citrus, and pine with a deliciously dank tail before heading off on its journey into outer space.

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.

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.

To distract you from the doom and gloom of our impending futures and give hope to your taste buds, Lakeman have dipped their toes into the use of hop oils, which have the credentials of being more environmentally conscious. Lakeman deliver a punchy and popping tropical journey in the comfort and balance of a double IPA. Okay, Boomer?!
