The arrival of hops to the brewing scene in England in the 1500s led to a moral panic, hops were described as 'a Wicked, & Pernicious Weed', feared to bring the downfall of civilized society. Thankfully, they were right.

Kettle soured wheat, lightly salted and infused with white peaches - a delicate three way salty, sweet and sour balancing act. A little bit of white mischief in a beer where anything gose.

The rest of the country blames beer goggles but in Hamilton it's just as often that the fog leads to an overly-generous appraisal of a potential suitor. Fog City Hazy IPA is Good George's tribute to the pea soup that regularly turns up in the winter months. If required, you can give this squealer a gentle roll to bring the haze back, then share it out and raise a glass.

Winner of the Smith's Craft Beer House 2022 NZIPA Competition, and Trophy winner at the 2022 New Zealand Beer Awards for the Juicy/Hazy category. The NZ hops that went into this brew (Nectaron, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin and NZH-102) give it a massive hop kick, juicy mouthfeel, and a huge tropical hop aroma. 7.0%.

Inspired by the wave of punchy new world hops. A lovely soft malt backbone is balanced perfectly with juicy, mouth-coating hoppy goodness & a smooth lingering bitterness.

Limited Edition Explorer Pack! 2x330ml German Helles Lager, 2x330ml Mexican Lime Lager and 2x330ml Japanese Rice Lager.

This 'geographically confused' Pilsner has a combination of new and old world hops, exhibited by fruit, subtle zest and a grassy herbaceous character. Finishing clean, dry and bitter it'll keep you coming back for another!

Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.

This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

It sounds Japanese but it's as American as having a BMI of 32. The Yakima Valley in Washington state, situated in the top left corner of the lower 48, is home to some of our favourite hop varieties, the tiny green flavour bombs that powered the whole craft beer renaissance from the get go. Liberty is what it smells like.

The whole hop flowers in the Pale Ale give it a serious citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced with specialty malts and a hit of bitterness.
