Escape to an island paradise, where tropical flavours of mango and coconut mingle over a refreshingly tart base. Whether you're actually on a beach, or simply daydreaming about palm trees and white sand, Island Breeze is a postcard in a glass. So don your sunnies and kick your feet up, this beer is made to chill-and-be-chilled.

Ride the gnar into a journey of American hops, lapping up bodacious notes of citrus, pine, and la fruta tropical. This groovy sun child offers pleasant bitterness, layered over a generous malt base, sip after righteous sip. Ya dig?

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on Freesyle hop-farms in Moutere valley, rubbing and sniffing the pungent new season sticky hop cones. Sticky and dank with Lupulin, they've steeped massive loads of fresh harvested green Nelson Sauvin hop cones, flown same day to their brewers, Chris and Craig at Steam Brewery, and backed up by new season hop pellets of Riwaka, Motueka and Sauvin, also fast-tracked by Freestyle in record time.

Bach Brewing have been on the hops again... brewing up their latest batch for the annual NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft House in Queenstown. As Kiwi as a bungy jump in Budgie smugglers, their all-star all-NZ IPA is jammed with new season Nelson grown Riwaka, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops, all nestled on juicy Gladfield malts, harvested from the Canterbury plains. 6.5% ABV.

Bach Brewing have been on the hops again... worshipping the cryogenic hop process that delivers concentrated lupulin, which is jammed with the magical resin and aromatic oils. Cryo Genius is brewed with an intense combo of hops including Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, Superdelic, El Dorado, Citra, and Mosaic.

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... and reflecting how fortunate they are to outsource their brewing & packaging to Steam Brewing, whose team, passion, endless investment, and expertise are such an integral part of Bach for 11 years now. Juiced in Otahuhu is brewed with Idaho, Mosaic, Motueka, Nectaron and Superdelic hops on a juicy base of Gladfield malts.

Originating from East Coast USA, the New England or Hazy IPA style de-emphasizes hop bitterness and showcases hop flavour and aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit juice. Bach Brewing have brewed their first hazy IPA with a juicy combination of Maris Otter; wheat malts, oats, and a truck load of tropical fruit driven hops from NZ, Australia and USA. 6.2% ABV.

When a certain tiny-handed tangerine tyrant floated the idea of annexing Canada as the 51st state Behemoth sent Churly undercover - decked out in Mountie red, waving the Stars and Stripes, and rocking a cowboy hat. The result? A Canadian Red IPA that's enough red to make both flags proud, equal parts bold, bitter, and slightly confused about which side of the border it's on. Big on malty richness with a strong, hoppy backbone (just like a true Canuck), 51st State is a salute to what happens when diplomacy meets delusion-and beer wins. Drink it before someone tries to build a wall up north.

You know the classic choccy fish? Soft, sweet, raspberry-filled memories of childhood? Well, this ain't that. This is the Big Fish & it's gone rogue. It's eaten all the little fish, raided the raspberry patch, and done a cannonball into a vat of rich, velvety chocolate. At a boozy 8%, this imperial stout is swimming in decadence, diving deep into dessert territory with waves of lush raspberry and a tsunami of dark chocolate. It's big, it's bold, and it's definitely not safe for school lunches. One sip and you'll be hooked.

This strong malty lager is made to be drunk out of big steins (you will use 2.27 of these 440ml cans to fill up a proper stein or Maß in German). Chur-toberfest Festival Lager is brewed for Churly's annual Chur-toberfest celebration in Mt Eden, Auckland. It is made using Behemoth's house lager yeast, Pilsner Malt, Vienna Malt. Munich Malt and Hallertau Blanc hops to make a German lager so flavourful but refreshing. It is made to be drunk responsibly in your favourite Lederhosen or Dirndl and enjoyed alongside some quality Schweinshaxe, Würst or giant Brezel. Prost!
