Hops are the powerhouse ingredient behind the fruity aromatics, bitterness, and flavour in our beers. Depending on when they're added during the brewing process and the specific variety used, hops can dramatically shape a beer’s character. They’re kind of the 'rock star' ingredient in craft beer. Bold, dynamic, and always in the spotlight.

There are many different varieties of hopsand what we’re growing in Aotearoa are world-class, with many of our hop varieties sought after internationally. We’re lucky to be able to use such high quality locally grown hops in our beers and we try to showcase the unique depth of flavour and complexity that can be found in local hops with every beer we brew. Some NZ hops even develop a cult following, with craft beer enthusiasts eagerly tracking what’s trending.

In addition to well-known and sought after hops, we are proudly part of NZ Hops Bract Brewing Programme where trial hops are used to create bold new beers and flavours, alongside 60 other breweries both local and international.
