Winner, 15th West Coast IPA Challenge, 2022. With seven West Coast hop varieties, this IPA is inspired by Eddyline's favourite seven-piece Kiwi band. It is packed with enough complexity and flavour to fill a stadium with chill reggae dub vibes and still punch enough bitterness to pump out a post-punk set into the darkest dungeon. Look out for passion fruit and mandarin skanking away on the malt dance floor, then wash away into the darkness for a crisp bitter finish.

The adventure doesn't have to end when you get home. Day Tripper is a low carb beer that's as intrepid as you are. Brewed with a combination of hop pellets and hop oil, for better mouthfeel, balance, fruitiness, and complexity. It's more than just a post-activity refresher, it's a flavour journey all of its own - from tangelo base camp, all the way to a crisp, stone fruit finish line. Enjoy the trip.

A hallucinatory, mind-bending, consciousness-expanding, dream-like experience is not what you'll find in this can. It's just a beer, man. But, this cloudy IPA does have a gnarly hit of Riwaka, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, with a tropical citrus flavour, and a totally piney finish. At least it's a trip for your taste-buds. Far out.

Just because you don't want a beer, it doesn't mean you don't want a beer. So, Emerson's brewed you a beer. Inspired by the big bold flavours of Bird Dog IPA, but without the bite. Little Bird is an alcohol free IPA, with a deliciously-puritanical, true expression of the hop flavour. It's so tasty, you won't even realise you're not drinking. Until the morning, of course. Dry hopped using New Zealand and USA hops for a super-fresh, super vibrant aroma, with a super-crisp, super-quenching finish.

Hold on to an Emerson's tasting where ever you go. The beach, the backyard, the back of beyond, or even just your place. This mini bar contains a carefully curated selection of favourites, so you can take your taste-buds on a journey, even while you're on a journey. Just make sure you keep it somewhere cold - this isn't actually a real fridge.

Coming of Age was built with time in mind. Chocolate and roasted malt lead the profile, supported by a firm body and a clean, deliberate finish. There are no shortcuts here. No added sweetness to soften the edges. No distractions. The goal is a stout that stands on its own knowing that time will eventually take it further. Brewer's Cut is the first expression of the beer - complete, composed, and released as intended. A snapshot of the stout before time reshapes it.

There's always that moment. You're not looking for anything new. You've known the bold ones, the bitter ones, the loud personalities. Then she walks in. Dolcita. Sweet, not simple. Peach on her lips, mandarin in her laugh, a tropical glow that pulls you closer. You pair her with Cascade, a classic with floral charm and grapefruit bite. They dance. She stays bright, soft, magnetic. She doesn't overwhelm the room, she changes it. And once you've met her, she's impossible to forget.

Fire Horse is this year's annual fresh hop release from Epic. Using fresh Riwaka hops from Eggers Hop Farm in upper Moutere, the hops are picked at peak condition and flown same day from farm to brewery, then brewed the same day while their oils and aromatics are at full intensity. This narrow harvest window is the only time a beer like this can be made during the year - capturing freshness, energy, bold juice and aroma that simply doesn't exist outside the season.

Jake Porter channels centuries of evolution into one modern glass - dark, smooth, and quietly complex. Inspired by the 18th-century blend that fuelled London's dockworkers, it carries porter's full lineage forward. Dark without heaviness. Layered without excess. Bread crust and light caramel lead into rounded chocolate and dark malt on the palate. Medium body with depth that builds steadily across each sip. A beer shaped by history, but made for now. Not a revival. A continuation.

Built for the West Coast IPA Challenge, this is a full-throttle hop production with Columbus and Mosaic in the lead roles. Big performance. Sharp direction. Bright lights. Loud applause. The kind of finish that brings you back for an encore.

Forged in hops. Tempered by time. First brewed in 2015 now reborn a decade later-Stone Hammer IPA returns to shake the halls of Epic once more. This isn't just a beer. This is a full-throttle Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe war cry, echoing with citrus lightning and tropical thunder. That first sip strikes with juicy hop oils-grapefruit zest, passionfruit flesh, and a whisper of pine sap. A sturdy malt backbone holds the line, offering a subtle caramel sweetness before the bitterness surges like a battle cry across your taste buds. Bold, brash, and dangerously drinkable-Stone Hammer IPA has earned its place in the halls of Epic legend. Prove you're worthy.

A refreshingly lively lager with hints of tropical, fruit like notes and a mild bitterness. DB Export 33 has an ABV of 4.6%. This full flavoured lager was launched in 2008 and named 'Best Low Carbohydrate Beer in New Zealand' in 2009 and 2010 at the NZ Beer Awards. It also became the first New Zealand low carb beer to win a Gold medal at the prestigious Monde Selection awards in Belgium in 2010, winning Gold again in 2011.
