Sometimes you just need to drop anchor, cast a line, and take in the sea breeze. This luscious and refreshing hazy pale ale invites you to cool off among juicy waves of stone fruit, tropical notes, citrus, and pine in this maritime marriage of NZ and US hops. Leave the shoreline behind, and spend some time on the sea.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

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.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... contemplating a treasure island holiday, or brew up another hazy IPA and stay local paradise. Easy decision eh. Chocker full of citrus and tropical fruit aroma hops including Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho-7, and brand new Freestyle Manilita, on a juicy Gladfield malt base.

Over at Bach they've been on the Freestyle hop farms... dank and sticky fresh green cones of Nectaron were field harvested at their peak and hightailed to the brewery. Chris and Craig B weaved their brewing magic, dry hopped with new harvest pellets, Riwaka, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Nectaron again, for a dank, dripping and fiercely fresh Hazy IPA. Expect waves of ripe stonefruit, sticky passionfruit and a resinous hum.

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.

Oh boy, what do we have here! Hauled into the Brewery as fast as Behemoth could muster on a blue pallet. A Fresh Hop West Coast IPA bursting with the glorious powers of Claytons trial hop CIP 076, a hop so juicy it practically fell out of the orchard and into the kettle. Expect a wave of ripe orange, peach, nectarine and mango, backed up by a cheeky little earthy bite that reminds you these hops were happily living on the vine not long ago. It's fresh, punchy, and brighter than whoever came up with these puns... Harvest is in full swing, so grab and enjoy - fresh is best!

Behehmoth's nod to the Pacific Northwest, green as hell, outdoors-obsessed, and unapologetically into good beer. Crisp, snappy and hopped with West Coast confidence, this pilsner walks the line between classic refreshment and modern bite. Clean malt backbone, bright citrusy hops, and a dry finish that'll have you reaching for one more faster than someone correcting you on how to pronounce Willamette (dammit). Whether arguing about donuts (or the spelling of it), or just sitting in a park pretending you're not judging everyone else's beer choice, Churly's got you with this one!

Enter the realm of the Sauvin Slayer, a formidable Double IPA crafted that's ready to claim the palates of hop enthusiasts everywhere. Behemoth have unleashed an avalanche of New Zealand's most tantalising hop, fresh off the vine Nelson Sauvin, in a Double NZ IPA that's designed to drag you to the other side of hoppiness. No drying, no waiting just pure, green Nelson Sauvin captured at peak harvest. Think big, dank, tropical fruits with fresh cut gooseberries. This is Sauvin in its freshest, wildest form, bright, green, and unapologetically bold. Beware! You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper.

Behemoth are suckers for throwing fruit into beer, and this series is their way of shining a big, juicy spotlight on one fruit at a time, then wrapping it all up in a mouth-puckering tart Sour Ale. For the fifth instalment, they're coming in hot with the ultimate summer icon: watermelon. REAL watermelon. No flavouring fakery, no shortcuts, no "natural essence of watermelon-ish" nonsense. "How much?" They crammed 200kg of the stuff into the tank, enough to turn Rael, their head brewer, redder than the fruit itself.
