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.

When David from The Hop House teamed up with Churly, things escalated quickly. One minute they were talking about Tauranga's best craft beer bar, the next Churly was juggling hop cones on Wharf Street, setting the fire pit ablaze, and challenging locals to board game duels.

The Hop House Hazy IPA is bursting with juicy Citra, Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin hops, dripping with hazy goodness, and absolutely crammed with character. It's everything you love about The Hop House... with a big, hazy, Behemoth twist. Churly-approved, chaos guaranteed.
