Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... thinking about balance in beer and living. No beer's bad, it's the other shit we sometimes eat or drink, and lack of 'muscle movement'. As facilitators for better beer and living, Bach's low carb hazy is jammed with vibrant hops including; Superdelic, Peacharine, Mosaic and Azacca.

Over at Bach they've been on the Freestyle hop farms... dank and sticky fresh green cones of Nectaron were field harvested at their peak and hightailed to the brewery. Chris and Craig B weaved their brewing magic, dry hopped with new harvest pellets, Riwaka, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Nectaron again, for a dank, dripping and fiercely fresh Hazy IPA. Expect waves of ripe stonefruit, sticky passionfruit and a resinous hum.

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.

Grapefruit Sculpin adds a fresh squeeze of tangy bitterness to Ballast Point's signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

This Habanero Sculpin adds a unique spicyness take to the signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the Habanero's distinctive peppery, fruity and floral notes perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

This Pineapple adds a fresh squeeze of tangy sweetness to Ballast Point's signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the freshness of pineapple perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.

Beck's is to this day brewed according to Reinheitsgebot - the German Purity Law - and states that only 4 natural ingredients can be used in its brewing, barley, hops, yeast and water. Beck's is full of character and instantly recognisable by its pure, crisp and fresh taste, with a slightly bitter aroma.

It is commonly said that drinking beer is like pouring smiles on your brain. Behemoth would have to agree that a great beer does make their brain happy! So, they thought they would take their love for Hazy IPAs and bring that down to a slightly more session-able Hazy Pale Ale; still loads of hops and loads of juiciness, but a bit more moderate on the alcohol. Turn that frown upside down and pour some smiles on your brain.

Welcome to Queenstown, where the mountains are high, the thrills are higher, and apparently Churly thought jumping headfirst into a lake of hops sounded like a good idea. Cordless Bungy is our IPA brewed for the NZ IPA Challenge, a juicy plunge packed with lush NZ hops, soft tropical notes, and enough aroma to make your nose feel like it's free-falling at terminal velocity. Think big citrus, stone fruit, and sticky hop goodness, all wrapped up smoother than a tourist saying "yeah nah, I'm definitely doing the Nevis". One sip in and suddenly you're swan-diving off the Kawarau Bridge straight into an alpine pool filled entirely with liquid hop nectar.

Let me tell you something my friend, hops are a dangerous thing, hops can drive a person insane, got no use on the inside, better get used to that. It comes down to a simple choice. Get busy hopping or get busy... Well not hopping. That's goddamn right! Remember hops are a good thing, maybe the best of things, and good things never die. In honour of what may be the best movie ever made Behemoth make this West Coast IPA using their favourite NZ, Aussie and US hops. Malty, but dry and bitter, everything you could want in a West Coast IPA. I hope these hops were as green as they have been in my dreams. I hope...
