The Hapi Sessions, 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 one of the beers that helped to make each brewery famous. The Monterey masters of West Coast IPA, Alvarado St, bare all, with a very special, intensely aromatic, Nelson Sauvin saturated take on their legendary, multi award winning flagship IPA.

New non-alcoholic lager brewed to deliver the same signature crisp, refreshing, super dry taste as Japan's No.1 beer, Asahi Super Dry, but now with 0.0% alcohol.

With its refreshing barley flavour and crisp aftertaste, Asahi Super Dry is by far the most popular high-quality beer in Japan. Since its debut in 1987 as Japan's first dry beer, it has continued to improve the taste and excitement of beer. Its taste has set a new standard that is acknowledged around the world today.

Over at Bach they've been on Freesyle hop-farms in Moutere valley, rubbing and sniffing the pungent new season sticky hop cones. Sticky and dank with Lupulin, they've steeped massive loads of fresh harvested green Nelson Sauvin hop cones, flown same day to their brewers, Chris and Craig at Steam Brewery, and backed up by new season hop pellets of Riwaka, Motueka and Sauvin, also fast-tracked by Freestyle in record time.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again ... big intense West Coast USA hops! The classic Californian West Coast IPA style originates from the late 70's and emerged in NZ circa just twenty years ago. All about the perfect balance between alcohol, malted barley, and high intensity of hops, to deliver max flavour and drinkability, they brewed their more modern take with a truckload of fruit driven hops including Idaho 7, Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe.

Beck's is to this day brewed according to Reinheitsgebot - the German Purity Law - and states that only 4 natural ingredients can be used in its brewing, barley, hops, yeast and water. Beck's is full of character and instantly recognisable by its pure, crisp and fresh taste, with a slightly bitter aroma.

I've got a fever, and the only prescription... is more Riwaka! Listen, kid, this ain't just any Hazy Pale Ale - this is Ri-Walken. A beer so smooth, so juicy, so full of that zesty, tropical Riwaka magic... it's almost unnatural. Big citrus, passionfruit, a little dank, like a jazz solo in a glass - unexpected, but perfect. You take a sip, you feel alive, like you could dance... maybe even talk with pauses that make people nervous. So, do yourself a favour - grab a Ri-Walken. Trust me... this beer? It's got bite, it's got zing! It's got Riwaka!

Those sneaky Wet Bandits are back at it again - this time, they're not after your Christmas presents, they're in Nelson making a getaway with the freshest Motueka hops of the season! Crisp, clean, and absolutely drenched in fresh hop goodness, this Cold IPA is a criminal amount of refreshment in every sip. Bursting with zesty lime, tropical fruit, and a snappy bitterness, grab one before these hop bandits slip away... fresh hop is here for a good time. Keep the change, ya filthy animal!

When you want a beer, but it needs to be Better. Crisp, refreshing and hitting all the right notes, Better Beer is zero carb and easy drinking. They made Better Beer for you - 87 calories, everyday drinking - You're welcome.

This collision of a strong, clean Imperial Pilsner with generous fresh Riwaka is no accident. Bone shaker gives you that crisp hit of a great Pilsner but then follows through with a robust hop profile, adding fruit and floral characters that go well beyond mere texture. Imperial-level strength helps push the hops and the firm, dry bitterness over the top. One might even lose their head over it.
