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... thinking about balance in beer and living. No beer's bad, it's the other shit we sometimes eat or drink, and lack of 'muscle movement'. As facilitators for better beer and living, Bach's low carb hazy is jammed with vibrant hops including; Superdelic, Peacharine, Mosaic and Azacca.

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.

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. Somewhere between the sunshine, the laughs, and the chaos, they actually managed to brew a beer, and what a beer it is. 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.

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.

The Czech town of Plzen is known for producing a beer famed for its strong hoppy taste. In BRB's Pilsner they use Pacifica & Cascade hops to produce a citrusy, bitter taste that'll bounce round your mouth like a rabbit on a trampoline.
