Hapi Sessions 2025, 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. Seattle's favourite sons, Fast Fashion, fly in for a slice of Down Under Pizza. Decadent DDH DIPA, dripping with harvest fresh Motueka, NZ Cascade and a very special secret sprinkle of brand new Hapi Research hop variety NZ02, delivers a ripe punch of passionfruit, lychee, lime and creamy peach.

The monster hop has taken a new form. The same all-star cast of New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops, now shrouded in haze. Juicy grapefruit, passionfruit and dank resin, fused in a swirling otherworldly Hazy IPA. The beast is back.

It's treat time. HBC 630 Treats, an extra pale base of malted barley and wheat, double dry hopped exclusively with new Yakima grown hop variety HBC 630, creates a super smooth lush IPA that's positively dripping with tropical guava, creamy peach and juicy sun ripened cherry. Go on, treat yourself.

Tie one on. Hook Jaw - American Brown IPA. A careful blend of oats, crystal and toasted malts delivers a complex base, with notes of chocolate, chewy caramel and dark roast coffee, deftly balanced with Chinook, Cashmere and Mosaic hops giving punchy bitterness and layers of blueberry, grapefruit and tangerine. You'll be hooked.

It's treat time. Krush Treats, an extra pale base of malted barley and wheat, double dry hopped exclusively with the newly launched Yakima grown hop Krush (formally known as HBC 586). It's a super smooth lush IPA that's bursting with orange citrus, tropical mango and guava, juicy peach and mixed berries. Go on, treat oneself.

Care for a Liquid Refreshment? This 100% Kiwi hopped NZ IPA is brewed with a selection of Aotearoa's finest and finished with a hit of brand new liquid Motueka Sub Zero Hop Kief. Bright golden IPA with clean, snappy bitterness and luscious lifted notes of citrus, feijoa and ripe stone fruit. Just pure refreshment - it's Kiwi in a can.

Bright, golden Cali style IPA, hopped with the finest, hand selected, harvest fresh Nelson Sauvin loaded with intense passionfruit, bright gooseberry and tropical juicebox aromatics. Nuff said really.

The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500s led to a moral panic, hops were described as 'a Wicked, & Pernicious Weed', feared to bring the downfall of civilized society. Thankfully, they were right.

It's a fruit filled, full cream trip in every sip. Pink Milk, strawberry Oat Cream IPA, brewed with a double dose of creamy lactose sugar, strawberry puree, dragonfruit, vanilla and a careful blend of HBC1019, Galaxy, Luminosa and Sabro hops. Absurdly smooth and juicy sweet, balanced with strawberry, bubblegum, coconut and tropical fruit hops. Udderly delicious!

The goat is back and this time he's angry. Raise the Horns, hardcore Doppelbock. More malt, a cold ferment and extended ice conditioning creates a doom metal dark lager beer, rammed full of smooth dark fruit and chocolate intensity and finishing with a delicious touch of alcohol warmth. Let me see you throw those horns!

What is the perfect burger beer? Juicy malts to compliment chargrilled character, hop bitterness to cut through fat and maybe a touch of umami to elevate the whole experience? Say hi to Red Dog - Red IPA brewed with four malts, red rice, Kohatu, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops and red miso. Chewy malt and balanced bitterness, juicy tropical fruit aromatics with a delicate umami twist. It's your burger's best friend!
