🍻 WE WON 🍻

Wellington’s Craft Beer Capital tourist beer trail was recognised as the country’s best beer tourism offering at the Brewers Guild of New Zealand, New Zealand Beer Awards 2025.

The beer trail won the industry tourism award as, “an outstanding initiative that brings a Kiwi beer scene to life. It’s accessible, well curated, and delivers real value to local brewers while raising the profile of the local industry.” (quote)

It’s no secret that Wellington is the Craft Beer Capital, and the award is proof of that. The beer trail guides participants to the best breweries, brewpubs and beer bars the region, and the country, has to offer. This includes to this year’s Champion Large Brewery, Garage Project, and multiple other medal winners.

Put it in ya calendar and get ready for fresh hop beer this season 🎉
It’s an elegant high wire act. Peacharine and Nelson Sauvin wet hops, picked at their aromatic peak, rushed to the brewery and plunged immediately into the awaiting beer to seal in their harvest fresh flavour. The result is a luscious smooth hazy, bursting with a sun ripened medley of peach, nectarine, apricot, plum, pear and mango, layered with an unmistakable wet cone character. It’s hop harvest in a can.

🍻 Apparently, The Green Room is the ultimate zen moment in surfing. It’s also the 4th in the Mean Doses staff brew series.

When Haruka asked about making a pale ale with Nelson Sauvin hops and Sauvignon Blanc grape juice, Dean was like, sure. And let’s do it with freshly harvested Nelson Sauvin hops and freshly pressed Sauvignon Blanc grape juice, just cos we can.

As with surfing, once inside The Green Room, “you wish to get back again and again and again, if you make it back out, you experience a flash of adrenaline, energy and joy that is not comparable to anything else, a true gift of nature”. Nah lol, it’s just a beer.

Get your sticky fingers on this years fresh IPA from 🍻
Hop hash is concentrated and powerful form of hop. Its the resins and lupulin that drop out while they are going though conveyors and all the complicated machinery that separates the cones. It is gathered by hand at the hop farm, raw and unprocessed.

This week 🙌🏼
Sitting pretty on Astro Supremes with diamond frenched antennas, Cholo chain wheel and chrome organs amplifying that Cali Life Style, this is a 78’ Camaro lowrider like no other. Built by Kenny, brought to Ohope, now rolling deep with Sulphur City, E.D. is a flaked, candied, laced, velvet, scaled and striped clash fantasy. Serving 80s excess AND 90s gangsta. Regulators, mount up! What better ride to represent our fresh hop drop for 2025. So dank and so green with stonefruit and citrus deliciousness, this NZIPA gets the best out of the mythical 109, with Nectaron, Rakau and Mot hops also making noise straight from the bine.
