The Long Run is made with our newest pal Dan at Mount Holly Beer in Vermont, USA. After meeting at NZ hop harvest and geeking out over NZ hops, brewing process, and the importance of water, Dan decided to fly home via Sydney and help us replicate something as close to the rolling green hills of Vermont as we can get. With a huge focus on water, we’ve done our best to replicate the soft, cloud-like aqua of the North East using our in-house RO water system, along with a metric bucket load of fresh NZ hop cones to complement this big, juicy, hop-to-face-smacking lupulin monster. Its different, in a freedom kind of way.

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

Our entry for the NZIPA Challenge doesn’t need a fancy name, it is what it is – a Good As! NZIPA.

A combo of Kiwi hops pop off with big orange notes – think freshly picked from the tree, and an old school 50c mix of sherbet and gummy sweets – with hints of grape and resin. There’s an easy-drinking bitterness to bring it together, and a smooth malt sweetness to finish. What more can we say – it’s Good As!

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.

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.

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.

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.
