It's not just chefs who like working with the freshest ingredients. The Emerson's brewers couldn't wait to get their hands on the latest crop of fresh Motueka hops from the greenthumbs at Garston Hop Farm. After harvesting, they're rushed from farm to brewery, and straight into the kettle. The extra-fresh cones give the XPA an extra-lively lemon and lime flavour, with background notes of tropical fruit, and a lovely hop oil texture. You're sure to give it a double green thumbs up.

A hallucinatory, mind-bending, consciousness-expanding, dream-like experience is not what you'll find in this can. It's just a beer, man. But, this cloudy IPA does have a gnarly hit of Riwaka, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, with a tropical citrus flavour, and a totally piney finish. At least it's a trip for your taste-buds. Far out.

This beer is a tribute to the Matron Saint of Emerson's. Richard's Mum, Ingrid. Without her belief, patience, and tolerance, Emerson's Brewery wouldn't be here today. So for the wise woman, is this Weissbier - her absolute favourite. It's light and cloudy, with a sweet bready aroma, notes of banana and sherbet, and a tart, spicy flavour. Quiet, yet full of intrigue and backbone. Just like Ingrid.

Just because you don't want a beer, it doesn't mean you don't want a beer. So, Emerson's brewed you a beer. Inspired by the big bold flavours of Bird Dog IPA, but without the bite. Little Bird is an alcohol free IPA, with a deliciously-puritanical, true expression of the hop flavour. It's so tasty, you won't even realise you're not drinking. Until the morning, of course. Dry hopped using New Zealand and USA hops for a super-fresh, super vibrant aroma, with a super-crisp, super-quenching finish.

Emerson's Mein Helles Bock is a strong pale lager that showcases clean, elegant, bready malt flavors, making it deceptively easy to drink. The Helles Bock style, also known as Maibock, is a relatively pale, strong, malty German lager with a nicely attenuated finish that enhances drinkability. It often features a more noticeable hop character compared to other bocks.

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.

Roving. It's something the Irish have in their blood. They turn up in far flung corners of the world, make everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day, and drink stout. Not that anyone is complaining of course. Wild Rover will take your taste buds for a bit of a wander, from a fruit and caramel beginning, through a mazy of smoky notes, arriving at a vibrant bitter end. Open this can and get going.

Epic BLUE Low Carb Pale Ale delivers crisp refreshment with less than half the carbs of Epic Pale Ale. A blend of Pale Ale and Pilsner malts creates a light golden body with subtle malt sweetness, while carefully selected hops drive its bright, signature aroma. Crafted with meticulous hop sourcing and close relationships with growers, this 4.8% pale ale brings full flavour without the weight.

Forged in hops. Tempered by time. First brewed in 2015 now reborn a decade later-Stone Hammer IPA returns to shake the halls of Epic once more. This isn't just a beer. This is a full-throttle Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe war cry, echoing with citrus lightning and tropical thunder. That first sip strikes with juicy hop oils-grapefruit zest, passionfruit flesh, and a whisper of pine sap. A sturdy malt backbone holds the line, offering a subtle caramel sweetness before the bitterness surges like a battle cry across your taste buds. Bold, brash, and dangerously drinkable-Stone Hammer IPA has earned its place in the halls of Epic legend. Prove you're worthy.
