How much do Garage Project love NZ hops? Rich amber red and redolent of the Nelson hop fields, Trip Hop is an ESB triple hopped with Pacifica, Motueka, and Riwaka. This trio of hops are added in increasingly lavish quantities throughout the boil, creating bitterness balanced on a generous malt base - easy drinking for resin heads. So how much do they love NZ hops? Three times as much as you think.

It's Maths 101, Garage Project and Green Cheek style. 2+2=5, a massive synergistic mash up of hop and grape aromatics, blending Southern Cross, Idaho 7 and fat stacks of Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin with a huge hit of Phantasm Sauv Blanc powder. The result is a swirl of gooseberry, pineapple, tropical jasmine, Raro fruit and just a touch of what their friends at Green Cheek refer to as the 'Devil's Lettuce'. Definitely a collab that's greater than the sum of its parts.

Home & Away, a series of rebrews bringing some of Garage Project's funniest overseas collaborations back to the Garage. For this release Garage Project brings Ghost Grip, originally brewed with pioneering Beijing craft brewery Jing-A. Crisp dry-hopped pilsner brewed with Phantasm infused Nelson Sauvin and Xiangshui Lemon, Grapefruit and Pink Pomelo oils, it's an explosion of bright citrus and expressive hop aromatics. Bringing home the goodness.

Set for stun! Zumo Death Ray, golden California Style IPA, brewed with brand new Zumo hops from Washington State's Segal Ranch. Pull the trigger for a bright flash of intense citrus, topped with a blast of zesty pine, tangerine and white grape aromatics and a juicy margarita lime finish. Pew, pew, pew!

A golden and juicy hazy pale ale with all the hoppy goodness and a more moderate alcohol level to extend those sessions in the deckchair, or however you enjoy your fine hazzies.

All the goodness of an apple cider married up with locally sourced Hawke's Bay Doris Plums. Hints of plum & fruit, with sweet and tart taste, makes this one dangerously refreshing. Doris Plum Cider (4.0%) looks a seductive magenta, and has aromas of plum, apple, and grape. On the palate it's sweet, tart, and very refreshing.

Non Alcoholic Doris Plum Cider, a great alternative for the original. The booze has been cut out, but left in the good stuff like the Hawke's Bay Doris Plums we all know and love. Drink these non-alcoholic ciders anywhere, any time you want and enjoy a little extra Doris in your life.

If this was a wine you'd say it was 'anhydrous' but it's a cider so avoid the fancy language - put simply it's very refreshing. Like a slice of cold green apple on a hot day, this extra dry cider is the crisp treat you didn't know you needed until somebody offered it to you. Extra Dry Apple Cider (4.0%) looks a sharp golden yellow, and has wine like aromas of granny smith apple.

The rest of the country blames beer goggles but in Hamilton it's just as often that the fog leads to an overly-generous appraisal of a potential suitor. Fog City Hazy IPA is Good George's tribute to the pea soup that regularly turns up in the winter months. If required, you can give this squealer a gentle roll to bring the haze back, then share it out and raise a glass.

Winner of the Smith's Craft Beer House 2022 NZIPA Competition, and Trophy winner at the 2022 New Zealand Beer Awards for the Juicy/Hazy category.
