6.1% - Old School WCIPA

Hāpi Sessions 2026, three collaborations, three breweries at the top of their game, three beers, each showcasing a different hop forward style in a playful ‘freestyle’ interpretation of a beer style that helped to make each brewery famous.

We’re getting back to basics with Poland’s craft beer pioneers Pinta. See you on the Flipside, unapologetically old school West Coast IPA, with a contemporary twist courtesy of new Hāpi Research hop variety NZ17 with Freestyle Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka, delivering bold bitterness, punchy white grapefruit, mango, passionfruit and lime, all with a subtle sativa twist.

Norse legend tells that at the end of days the great wolf Hati, son of Fenrir, will finally catch the Moon after a chase that has lasted eternity. Spoiler alert, it’s not going to end well. Black Rye IPA, fermented with Norwegian Kveik yeast and hopped with Columbus, Cascade, Citra, and Chinook. It’s a beer with a crisp bitter bite, wicked citrus and bright resinous pine. Best Before Ragnarok.

My turn. I Spy With My Little Eye Something Beginning With S. I’ll give you a hint. It’s green, and hoppy. Cali style dry hopped Pils, packed with Simcoe, Strata & Southern Cross hops in every form we could find, all in a crisp clean bright pilsner. Simply sensational.

The people have spoken. Back by popular demand, it’s La Calavera Catrina. Inspired by Mexican style maize lager, but don't be fooled, she's no lightweight! Fired up with a generous addition of Habanero Chilli, and spiked with Rose Water and Watermelon, the result is cheeky, complex and fiery - what more could you want from our Lady of Death?

New Zealand lager, brewed specially to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Canterbury malts and a blend of Motueka and Nectaron hops create a crisp golden beer, with easy bitterness and a soft stone fruit character. Pretty majestical, aye?

6.2% - Fresh hopped hazy harvest IPA

Fresh hopped, hazy, harvest IPA. A juicy blend of Nelson Sauvin & Rakau hops, all picked on the same day at Freestyle hop farm, half of the harvest was rushed still wet from the field to the Garage and plunged straight into this beer, the other half was quickly dried and added to the fermenter. The result is a beer overflowing with lush citrus, resinous pine and tropical fruit. Just New Zealand grown hops at their harvest fresh best.
