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.

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?!

Who doesn't love a Summer shout? Enjoy one with this hop-forward West Coast IPA stacked with Cryo hops Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic. These Cryo hops produce a big hop aroma and citrus, stonefruit, and pine notes but with a lower bitterness than a traditional West Coast IPA.

First known as Imperial Draught Ale, before being nick named 'The Brown Bomber' by servicemen in the forties and later taking on that name in 1950. Established as Lion Brown from 1953, it was originally served only from the tap, a unique barrel shaped stand that became an icon in pubs around the country.

A clean, fresh and distinctive ice beer, Lion Ice is ice-brewed, a centuries-old German brewing method known as 'Eisbock'. This special brewing process involves chilling the beer in ice chambers, causing crystals to form.

Lion Red, the quintessential Kiwi beer, began life as the Pale Ale from the Great Northern Brewery in 1907 - a great year for beer and an even better one for beer drinkers. Over the last century, Lion Red has become a favourite for celebrating great times with good mates.
