Hop Drop 2026 - NZ Hazy IPA is this year's entry for the Smiths IPA Challenge: a straight-up dynamite NZ hazy built on a light, pillowy grist of pilsner, wheat, dextrine malt and flaked grains, then stacked with Riwaka, Motueka and Freestyle's new Limequat blend. It's all bright, tropical lime, citrus and modern NZ hop character, with that soft body drinkers are chasing. Flavours: Riwaka brings bold tropical and citrus notes, while Motueka layers in zesty lime, lemon drop and mojito-like notes. Freestyle's new Limequat blend fires off fresh tropical lime, citrus and a subtle floral edge. Fermented with WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast, it pours hazy, drinks juicy, and packs saturated NZ hop flavour from first sniff to final sip.

Snap, crackle and pour. Some would say it's the breakfast of champions with a grown-up twist: three old mates around a fresh DVB Lager, passing a shared mug, and swapping stories of days gone by and Lucky Charms. Built for easy drinking and long yarns, this rice lager is crisp, clean, and brewed to clink.

A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown, with a cream coloured head. Bookbinder has a sweet, perfumey, malt and hop aroma with a soft, malty, fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing with a long, gently drying finish.

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.

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.

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.

Introducing Loud and Clear. A hard-core addition to the Emerson's core range. A bright & beautiful double IPA that's rich & juicy and bold & balanced. At 8.4%. It's also a good one to sip & savour with a friend quietly, of course.

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.

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.

Harmonic Haze Machine pours a glowing, hazy golden hue with a soft, pillowy body that feels like weather you can drink. The aroma pulses with bright citrus, soft stonefruit, and a gentle tropical lift, while the palate delivers smooth waves of juicy fruit wrapped in a silky haze. The finish is balanced, seamless, and almost weightless - a clean fade-out that hums quietly on the palate like a lingering frequency. Smooth, hazy, and ridiculously easy to sink into.

Released in 2011, Hop Zombie quickly earned cult status around the globe. Built with multiple dry hop additions and a massive hop load.
