Behold Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse of Odin! Capable of transcending The Nine Beer Realms, this legendary carrier of flavour is bold, strong, and rides true with the power of Nordic Kveik yeast. Delivering bright, piney, fruity hops over a bountiful, rye-enriched malt base, Sleipnir Nordic IPA has a powerful kick. Skål!

Take the drop into this West Coast Pilsner, a radical ride of bright, refreshing, punchy hops. The Drop amps up what 8 Wired love about Pilsners, carving up a refreshing and crisp beer to quench even the thirstiest surfer. Start paddling, here it comes!

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... contemplating a treasure island holiday, or brew up another hazy IPA and stay local paradise. Easy decision eh. Chocker full of citrus and tropical fruit aroma hops including Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Idaho-7, and brand new Freestyle Manilita, on a juicy Gladfield malt base.

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.

Mosaic and Citra Hopped. Lower in alcohol than our usual Hazy IPAs and stupidly easy to drink. Like pouring smiles on your brain.

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...

Brewed in cahoots with Behemoth's crispy, spicy mates at Peach's Hot Chicken, this American Pale Ale is made for sittin', sippin', and snackin'. At a perfectly sessionable strength, Porch Pounder brings the hoppy goods without knocking you off your rocking chair. Aromatic, citrus'y and flavourful, it's the ultimate sidekick to a plate of hot fried chicken-with just enough bitterness to cut through the grease and enough malt to cool the heat. It's a match made in mouth-watering heaven.

Welcome to the Joint Venture Project. A series of brewhouse two-headers featuring Boneface and some of their favourite breweries. First off they're dropping in with the legends at Mt Maunganui's Mount Brewing. Since both head brewer's have polish roots, the idea of a Grodziskie-style Smoked Ale drifted by. Prepare yourself for a ground swell of oak-smoked wheat malt breaking in a frothy wave of carbonation.

Brewed in honour of American bootleggers from the Prohibition days, this APA is loaded with malt characters, citrus notes, all-American aroma hops and a crisp bitter finish. Enjoy it before someone makes fun illegal again.

You can't see through it, but that never stopped anyone from clearing a path to pastures new. Yep, BRB's lightly hazed IPA takes your taste buds to that floral citrus hoppy place before levelling out on a malty plateau that few have ever reached.
