*š²Best of the Brewery Tourā¢ 2024 One-Off!
Over the past year, weāve toured the length and breadth of this amazing country to visit over 80 award-winning craft breweries and experience over 400 different beers. Itās a tough job, but someoneās gotta do it.
šWith feedback from Beer Huggers, coupled with input from our brewery partners, weāve crafted what we believe is the best box of beer in NZ right now. Itās kind of like a box of favourites chocolates, just way waaaayyyy better!š
šBut wait, to make this release even more special, weāre celebrating our 5th birthday. So, we thought it would be cool to raise a glass of beer that represented the taste of New Zealand and say cheers for supporting us and our legendary Kiwi brewers! š
In collaboration with DNA Brewing, we asked Beer Huggers to craft New Zealandās Most Huggable Beer and the results are in!Ā
š²After receiving 1,000+ responses on your favourite styles, strength, flavours, aromas and hops, Beer Huggers wanted a 6% NZIPA, showcasing Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron and Riwaka hops. The vote was split between Tropical and Citrus flavours, so we thought āwhat the heckā letās brew both!š²
š«µThese beers are officially New Zealandās Most Huggable beers as voted by YOU!š«µ
All of these beers have been brewed super fresh for this very special release. Including heaps of new brews, exclusive and seasonal releases, 6 x 440ml and 6 x 330ml this is a Best of the Best celebration. Youāll get;Ā
6 x BIG SERVE 440ml Brews;
- šBeer Hug x DNA Cheers Beers Tropical NZ IPA (6.0%):Ā Stacked with Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron and Riwaka hops this NZ IPA is bright golden in colour with a lean malt base, balanced bitterness and clean after bitter. Passionfruit with stonefruit and tropical hugs.
- šBeer Hug x DNA Cheers Beers Citrus NZ IPA (6.0%):Ā Stacked with Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron and Riwaka hops this NZ IPA is bright golden in colour with a lean malt base, balanced bitterness and clean after bitter. Citrus with stonefruit and zesty lime hugs.
- šŗWaitoa Back Country Red IPA (5.8%):Ā Inspired by the rugged beauty of New Zealand's untamed landscapes. Bold maltiness meets a cascade of zesty hops, mirroring the spirit of exploration in every sip. A flavourful journey through the heart of the backcountry.
- šŗMcLeodās Blue Sky APA (5.3%):Ā This is an American-style Pale Ale with Talus and Citra hops, so you'll get plenty of bright grapefruit over citrus aroma and flavour. It's all balanced on a soft malt base with golden oats for a slightly moreish note and balanced bitterness.
- šŗLaughing Bones Mountain IPA #17 (6.0%):Ā Galaxy and Vic Secret lead the way with citrus and tropical fruit and are backed up by Eclipse to round out the hop profile with background notes of stone fruit and berry.
- šŗUrbanaut Pink Marshmallow Hazy IPA (5.6%):Ā Loaded with creamy oats and a splash of raspberry and vanilla for maximum decadence, this smooth hazy will make you marvel at the pure undiluted glory of PINK MARSHMALLOWS!
Plus 6 x 330ml RIPPERS;
- šŗEpic Pale Ale (5.4%):Ā At Epic they're obsessed with creating big hop-fuelled beers. This takes a shed-load of skill. It also takes a shed-load of hops. Many brewers would call this 'insane'. They call it flavour.
- šŗTe Aro Dragon APA (5.7%):Ā A slightly sweet aroma with citrus and herbal pine flavours from Mosaic and Falconers Flight hops. The use of Gladfields American Ale, Wheat and Medium Crystal malts provide an excellent base for a medium bodied and quaffable APA.
- šŗBehemoth Haze Juice Hazy IPA (5.0%):Ā Weāve packed in a bunch of our favourite NZ & US hops so that itās bursting at the seams with juicy, tropical flavours. It's as palatable as it is sessionable.
- šŗDouble Vision Chillax XPA (5.0%):Ā A Nelson Sauvin/Simcoe duo bring fruity and piny notes with a bit of zing and some mellow, light malts to match. You just need to pull up a seat, kick your feet up after a hard day and Chillax.
- šŗDNA Humble Harry Hazy IPA (5.0%):Ā Humble Harry is your easy going, tropical hazy. Not too full of himself, heās forever approachable. A mix of stonefruits and melons with a goodbye kiss of citrus to finish things off.
-
šŗBacon Bros Earl Hazy IPA (5.0%):Ā Our newest addition, Earl Hazy, a 5% Hazy IPA with our friends over at Earl Bistro! Tropical citrus aroma. Hop forward with passionfruit lime and orange dominating. Juicy, clean and balanced. Strong haze.
