Epic BLUE Low Carb Pale Ale delivers crisp refreshment with less than half the carbs of Epic Pale Ale. A blend of Pale Ale and Pilsner malts creates a light golden body with subtle malt sweetness, while carefully selected hops drive its bright, signature aroma. Crafted with meticulous hop sourcing and close relationships with growers, this 4.8% pale ale brings full flavour without the weight.

A flavour-first approach in a lighter, lower-carb hazy format. Soft haze, fresh citrus notes, and restrained bitterness make it an easy-drinking beer that still feels expressive. A lighter hazy option, still Epic.

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.

Fire Horse is this year's annual fresh hop release from Epic. Using fresh Riwaka hops from Eggers Hop Farm in upper Moutere, the hops are picked at peak condition and flown same day from farm to brewery, then brewed the same day while their oils and aromatics are at full intensity. This narrow harvest window is the only time a beer like this can be made during the year - capturing freshness, energy, bold juice and aroma that simply doesn't exist outside the season.

Named Freya after the Norse goddess of war, love, and destiny, this West Coast IPA stands as a tribute to power with purpose - bold, clear, and unrelenting. Crystal clear and golden with a punchy aroma of grapefruit zest, pine resin, and crushed gooseberries. The first sip hits with bright citrus peel, sharp pine, and dank herbal edges, followed by waves of ripe mango and blueberry from the Mosaic. A firm, cleansing bitterness grips the finish, leaving a dry, lingering echo of crushed florals and spice. Commanding. Clean. Divine. A West Coast IPA that strikes like thunder and moves like prophecy.

A bold evolution of the pilsner tradition, brewed with the spirit of San Francisco's iconic landmark. Crisp NZ pilsner malt lays the foundation, lifted by a touch of Vienna to support its bigger 6.7% frame. Then comes the hop wave: Citra leads with bright bursts of lime, grapefruit, and mango, while Mosaic adds layers of berry and resin. Like the bridge it's named after, Golden Gate West Coast Pilsner connects worlds: tradition and innovation, refreshment and intensity, New Zealand craft and California inspiration.

Harmonic Haze Machine pours a glowing, hazy golden hue with a soft, pillowy body that feels like weather you can drink. The aroma pulses with bright citrus, soft stonefruit, and a gentle tropical lift, while the palate delivers smooth waves of juicy fruit wrapped in a silky haze. The finish is balanced, seamless, and almost weightless - a clean fade-out that hums quietly on the palate like a lingering frequency. Smooth, hazy, and ridiculously easy to sink into.

HaziNESS was brewed as a playful tribute to haze, mystery, and those rare people who keep everything running smoothly-without ever needing the spotlight. HaziNESS pours like a spring sunset-glowing gold beneath a soft, milky haze. On the nose, you're hit with a wave of ripe mango, crushed pineapple, and sweet citrus peel, backed by a gentle whisper of fresh-cut grass and soft pine. The mouthfeel is smooth and pillowy, almost creamy, with low bitterness and just enough carbonation to keep it bright. Each sip reveals new layers-peach fuzz, lime zest, and a dash of white grape-as if the flavour's shifting beneath the surface. It's a beer that doesn't shout; it invites you in and rewards you for sticking around.

High Voltage is a hazy IPA that's all about harnessing the energy of two powerhouse hops: Citra and Mosaic. From the first sip, you're hit with a surge of tropical goodness - think juicy mango, ripe pineapple, and a burst of citrus that dances on your tongue. The Mosaic hops add a layer of complexity with subtle berry undertones, while Citra delivers a bright, refreshing citrus punch. High Voltage is more than just a beer; it's a vibrant, electrifying experience that keeps your taste buds buzzing long after the glass is empty.

In the Year of the Snake, the Hop Serpent awakens from its ancient slumber, coiling around the hop vines of Egger's Hop Farm. With every twist, it enchants the hops with magical power, bringing out vibrant flavours. The serpent guards the harvest, ensuring only the freshest, most aromatic hops reach the brewers. Those who sip Hop Serpent feel its mystical energy, a brew crafted by the serpent's magic. Hop Serpent is driven by the freshly harvested and air freighted Riwaka hops that are known for their bold passionfruit flavour, complemented by zesty citrus notes of grapefruit, lime, and lemon. The passionfruit dominates, offering a sweet, tangy profile that adds depth and vibrancy. This tropical character is bright and juicy, balancing perfectly with the crisp bitterness, making for an intensely fruity and aromatic IPA experience.
