The 2024 Bird of the Year is now also the Bird with a Beer. Emerson's love their Hoiho there in Dunedin and they are proud to have played a part in turning its yellow eyes gold, for the second time. People's Penguin is easy drinking, with vibrant notes of stone fruit, and a biscuity malt backbone. It features local Garston Rakau hops, and Riwaka Amplifire hop oil from Clayton. Enjoy the sweet taste of victory.

The Rock & Pillar Range looks over the small Otago town of Middlemarch, that Richard Emerson calls home. Here, locals know Richard to be both a pillar of the community, and a rock. Or at least that's what he thinks they mean by pillar. Whatever they may say, his house is always a popular spot for a beer. And this dark ale will be perfect for a bone chilling Strath Taieri night. Rock & Pillar sits somewhere between a brown porter and a stout, robust with rich malt, roasted cocoa, dark chocolate and coffee flavours that are as bittersweet as the local sense of humour.

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.

A flavour-first approach in a lighter, lower-carb hazy format. Soft haze, fresh citrus notes, and restrained bitterness make it an easy-drinking beer that still feels expressive. A lighter hazy option, still Epic.

A bold evolution of the pilsner tradition, brewed with the spirit of San Francisco's iconic landmark. Crisp NZ pilsner malt lays the foundation, lifted by a touch of Vienna to support its bigger 6.7% frame. Then comes the hop wave: Citra leads with bright bursts of lime, grapefruit, and mango, while Mosaic adds layers of berry and resin. Like the bridge it's named after, Golden Gate West Coast Pilsner connects worlds: tradition and innovation, refreshment and intensity, New Zealand craft and California inspiration.

Mandarin Skies rises from a glowing citrus horizon, a soft hazy IPA built around Citra, Riwaka and Mandarina Bavaria. Citra leads with bright waves of grapefruit, lime, mango, and orange peel, while Riwaka cuts through with passionfruit, sharp citrus, and that unmistakable New Zealand hop intensity. Mandarina Bavaria wraps it all in a juicy mandarin glow, giving the beer its golden sky, soft haze, and sunlit finish.
