North End Seasonal Range Fresh Hops 2026

Forged in the greenlands of Waikanae, Lord of the Cones is a quest into the heart of our most precious hops. Fresh Nelson Sauvin are gathered at dawn and rushed straight into the kettle, unleashing bursts of citrus, grape, and gooseberry. One Cone to Refresh Them All.

Hops For Hospice Fresh Hop Hazy 440ml

Brewed with freshly harvested Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron hops, Hops For Hospice is a vibrant hazy IPA that showcases the very best of the hop harvest. Bright tropical fruit, passionfruit and citrus lead the way, supported by subtle white wine and gooseberry notes. A soft, juicy body and smooth finish make this an easy-drinking seasonal release.

But this is more than just a beer.

Hops For Hospice is a collaborative project between Sprig + Fern Brewing Co, Sprig + Fern Taverns, Little Sprigs, Gladfield Malt, NZ Hops, Label & Litho and VISY all coming together with a shared goal of supporting Hospice and the vital work they do in our communities. Hospice provides compassionate care and support to individuals and families during some of life’s most difficult times. It’s an organisation that many have a personal connection to, and one that relies on community generosity to continue its work.

Fresh Hop 2026 - Waimea Bay Foggy IPA

NOTORIOUS EAST COAST IPA

Boneface's Fresh Hop face-off pits the flyest of this seasons hop crop against each other in a Lupulin battle royale.  Notorious busts out in an east coast style with Nectaron additions we can only describe as off da hook. Passionfruit and stone fruit step, luscious but not too sweet, knockin' boots with the soft and pillowy mouthfeel. Tight.

BB 10/1/27

RUTHLESS WEST COAST IPA

Boneface's Fresh Hop face-off pits the flyest of this seasons hop crop against each other in a Lupulin battle royale.  The 411 on Ruthless is Riwaka in extremis, a dose of grape-fruit and lime we'd conservatively describe as hella with dank overtones. The look is pure gold with a tigh'n'white head, unafraid of it's own bitterness. No diggity, or certainly very little.

BB 10/1/27

An ongoing series of occasional one-off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in our Lyall Bay Brewery.
