Aromas of citrus & stone fruit up front, that’s then followed onto the palate with Nectarines & Peaches, just one big juicy fruit bowl all round, thanks to NZ Hops NZH-109 trial hop in this Hazy IPA.

NEW RELEASE – Bright NZIPA 2025

BRIGHT NZIPA 2025

A crisp and refreshing NZIPA, fully loaded wth Riwaka, Peacharine, Nelson Sauvin and Moutere Hops with Nova Lager yeast!

And our entry for the annual Smiths NZIPA competition!

ABV: 6.5%

Boneface + Liberty Collaboration 440ml

Out hop-spotting together in Motueka, Boneface and Liberty tripped over a hidden field of Riwaka missed by the official harvest. The aromas from the ultra-ripe cones blew the boys' minds so they wasted no time in lifting the lot. With Mike going Hazy and Joe heading Pilsner, the Longshot project was born, determined to make the most of the funky overstayers before they succumbed to rot and ruin. Now it's your turn to discover both.

Sunset Beach Pineapple IPA

Inspired by the legendary waves of Sunset Beach Port Waikato, where golden light meets rolling waves. This PineappleIPA is a tropical escape in every sip, bursting with juicy pineapple sweetness and a crisp malt backbone. A bright hop blend adds layers of citrus and stone fruit, balancing the brew with just the right amount of bitterness. Refreshing and full of island vibes, it’s the perfect way to end the day—no matter where you are.

ABV: 6.2%

India Ale

Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); best malted barley and a generous amount of choicest aroma hops; fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create an exceptionally full-flavoured complex ale with an abundance of maltiness and fruity hop character.

The label on the bottle is based on Samuel Smith’s Victorian letterhead when the brewery was a contractor to Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s forces.

5% ABV

BB May 31, 2026

Latvian brewery Ārpus has quested all the way to New Zealand to personally select their favourite home-grown hops. Here, they joined forces with yours-truly to collaborate on a hazy India pale ale that highlights the best in bloom. This "mega pick" features Riwaka, Nectaron, and Superdelic – a zesty, tropical and confectionery combination that proudly showcases our hop gardens through the Latvian palate.

BB 10/06/26

This ain’t your average NZIPA—it’s a neo-classic, dialled up with a double dry-hop punch. Deep gold and brilliantly clear, Tsunami Warning delivers a full-force blast of ripe stonefruit, led by luscious apricot vibes, thanks to a high-impact hop combo of Rakau, Nectaron, and the experimental Clayton CIP014.

Biotransformation works its magic, amping up the juiciness while keeping the malt backbone sturdy but stealthy. At 6.6% ABV, it’s dangerously smooth—one sip and you’re already caught in the undertow.

Neon Haze Hazy IPA 6.5%

For decades, the Neon Cowboy has tipped his hat over Auckland, watching late-night antics, questionable dance moves, and epic yarns. He’s seen it all—love, heartbreak, and that one guy who tried to ride a shopping trolley home. Now, he’s got his own hazy IPA. Packed with El Dorado, Cascade, and Citra hops, it shines bright with tropical swagger and a citrusy wink. Saddle up, partner!

Neon Haze is a luminous burst of flavor, a hazy IPA inspired by one of Auckland’s most iconic neon relics—the vintage cowboy sign that once adorned the Keans Building on Queen Street. Now glowing in its second life at the Epic Taproom in Onehunga, this legendary sign embodies the electric vibrance of the city's past, much like this hazy IPA captures the bold and bright essence of modern hop-forward styles. Neon Haze pours a radiant, golden haze, swirling with a rich, pillowy body that carries the unmistakable aroma of ripe tropical fruit and candied citrus.

Crafted with El Dorado hops, this IPA delivers an intense rush of juicy pineapple, stone fruit, and sweet pear, balanced by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. It’s a beer that bridges past and present—just as the neon cowboy once signaled adventure on Queen Street and now lights up Onehunga, Neon Haze brings a fresh, glowing energy to every pint. Whether you're reminiscing about Auckland's history or simply savoring a well-crafted hazy IPA, Neon Haze is a tribute to bold flavors, bright lights, and the timeless thrill of something new.
