*🚌NZ Brewery Tour™ Subscription Every 2nd Month

This month’s NZ Brewery Tour™ is a proper celebration of everything we love about Kiwi craft beer - epic brewers, world-class hops, and great mates doing great things together.

Freshly brewed and exclusive to Beer Hug, we’re beyond stoked to present the DNA Brewing x Hop Federation collaboration release - a 12-beer showcase featuring 8x 440ml + 4x 330ml from two of NZ’s finest.

When one of NZ’s most voted-for breweries joins forces with a hop-forward legend from the heart of hop country… you know you’re in for something special.

🧬 DNA Brewing

Beer for beer people. It’s what brings us together. It’s what we drink. It’s in our DNA.

With Dave brewing commercially since 1985 (yeah, he’s seen a few brewhouses), DNA took out NZ’s Choicest Craft Beer with Handle the Jandal NZ IPA - and received more votes than any other brewery last year.

Experience counts. Passion counts. And it shows in every sip.

🌿 Hop Federation

Born in the heart of hop country, these legends live and breathe hop-forward, refreshing, high-quality beer.

Just good, clean beer.

Last year DNA & Hop Federation joined forces - and the result is a powerhouse Kiwi combo built on friendship, quality and a shared love of NZ hops. Let’s Hug.

🍺 The line-up (6 from each brewery), including 8x 440ml + 4x 330ml!
