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.

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 our brewers, numbers are now on the rise. Careful you don't exceed your quota, though.

This Hazy IPA was brewed by the women of Emerson's to celebrate International Women's Day. So it's no surprise it was made with passion. Two kinds of passion, in fact. Fresh passionfruit juice and Abstrax Skyfarer Passionfruit went into the brew with Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe hops. It's intensely tart, tangy and fruity. The kind of flavour you'll feel strongly about. Passionate, even.

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.

From the Land of the Long White Cloud to the Land of the Rising Sun Sonkei, respect. This lager was humbly brewed with the utmost reverence for its ingredients, and Japan. It is a celebration of subtlety and restraint. Delicate, light, crisp, refreshing, and harmoniously balanced with just the right amount of zesty Yuzu citrus. You don't need to take off your shoes, but please, drink respectfully.

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.

HaziNESS was brewed as a playful tribute to haze, mystery, and those rare people who keep everything running smoothly-without ever needing the spotlight. HaziNESS pours like a spring sunset-glowing gold beneath a soft, milky haze. On the nose, you're hit with a wave of ripe mango, crushed pineapple, and sweet citrus peel, backed by a gentle whisper of fresh-cut grass and soft pine. The mouthfeel is smooth and pillowy, almost creamy, with low bitterness and just enough carbonation to keep it bright. Each sip reveals new layers-peach fuzz, lime zest, and a dash of white grape-as if the flavour's shifting beneath the surface. It's a beer that doesn't shout; it invites you in and rewards you for sticking around.
