Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson's first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints.

Hold on to an Emerson's tasting where ever you go. The beach, the backyard, the back of beyond, or even just your place. This mini bar contains a carefully curated selection of favourites, so you can take your taste-buds on a journey, even while you're on a journey. Just make sure you keep it somewhere cold - this isn't actually a real fridge.

The Orange Roughy's scientific name is Hoplostethus atlanticus. Which roughly translates as, hazy, hoppy pale ale with a tropical fruit aroma, citrus flavour, and malty backbone. In the past, the roughy has been subject to unsustainable practices - completely selling out. Thanks to the hard work of the Emerson's brewers, numbers are now on the rise. Careful you don't exceed your quota, though.

The Rock & Pillar Range looks over the small Otago town of Middlemarch, that Richard Emerson calls home. Here, locals know Richard to be both a pillar of the community, and a rock. Or at least that's what he thinks they mean by pillar. Whatever they may say, his house is always a popular spot for a beer. And this dark ale will be perfect for a bone chilling Strath Taieri night. Rock & Pillar sits somewhere between a brown porter and a stout, robust with rich malt, roasted cocoa, dark chocolate and coffee flavours that are as bittersweet as the local sense of humour.

At 04:17pm, on 22 July 2028, Dunedin's sun will be fully obscured. Only this time, it won't be a cloud that's getting in the way. It will be the first total solar eclipse here, since 1163. To mark this historic, future moment of darkness, a super Bright IPA was brewed. Sunblock was brewed with Eclipse hops (of course), for sweet mandarin orange, zesty citrus peel flavours, and a fresh subtle pine finish. Best enjoyed with your eclipse glasses on. This beer was brewed in collaboration with the astronomy loving friends at Tuhura Otago Museum.

If you've been mowing your super-long lawn, running super-fast, or out in the super-hot sun, you'll need to super-quench your super-thirst. This Pacific Pilsner has been dry-hopped with NZ and US hops to make it super-tasty, while it's light body and crisp finish make it super-refreshing. At just 4% ABV, and 40% lower in carbs, you can feel slightly-smug, too.

Taieri George is named after the most important Emerson of all - Richard's Dad. Not only was he a founding member of the Taieri Gorge Railway, he was also the brewery's original Chief taster. He particularly enjoyed this drop, brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg and Otago clover honey. In his memory, Emerson's release this brew on his birthday. Here's to you, George.

There's always that moment. You're not looking for anything new. You've known the bold ones, the bitter ones, the loud personalities. Then she walks in. Dolcita. Sweet, not simple. Peach on her lips, mandarin in her laugh, a tropical glow that pulls you closer. You pair her with Cascade, a classic with floral charm and grapefruit bite. They dance. She stays bright, soft, magnetic. She doesn't overwhelm the room, she changes it. And once you've met her, she's impossible to forget.

Full Send was brewed as a collaboration between Epic Beer and AJ Hackett Bungy for the 2026 Smith's New Zealand IPA Challenge in Queenstown. It brings together two brands that have never had much interest in playing it safe. Full Send is a bright, high-impact New Zealand IPA built around Eshcapade - a brand new hop variety from Eggers Hops. Motueka, Riwaka and Nectaron play the supporting chorus, adding lemon-lime zest, tropical lift, and juicy stone fruit depth.

Its the perfect fit. Black Denim Imperial Stout, brewed with seven malts including oats, wheat, chocolate, crystal and a delicate touch of Manuka smoke, infused with maple syrup and toasted pecans. Rich, dark and decadently delicious mix of caramel malt and maple sweetness, with delicate nut and balanced roast. Time to pop that top button.

A cheerful, upbeat little hazy. Brewed with plump, juicy NZ grown barley and oats and a choice selection of Garage Project's favourite hops to produce a smooth, easy drinking beer, loaded with lush tropical fruit juice flavour and aroma. Delicious - pure and simple.
