Speight's Summit Ultra is a refreshing golden lager with a crisp finish. Brewed for longer, it has 75% less carbs than the average carb content of leading NZ beer brands and only 88 calories per serve.

Like all good yarns, this one starts with three mates on a mission. In 1876 James Speight, Charles Greenslade and William Dawson started a brewery on Rattray Street in Dunedin, crafting a beer so good, it became known as 'The Pride of the South'. Fast forward 150 years and Speight's are celebrating being New Zealand's favourite beer, another legendary example of what mates can achieve together.

Lion Red, the quintessential Kiwi beer, began life as the Pale Ale from the Great Northern Brewery in 1907 - a great year for beer and an even better one for beer drinkers. Over the last century, Lion Red has become a favourite for celebrating great times with good mates.

Ever wondered what happens when a Ginger Bear hits the gym 6% harder? Us neither. But here he is... 2% stronger, punchier, and better looking than ever.

The raptor family includes a surprisingly diverse collection of birds of prey and their kin, and stretches to include some of their fiercer ancestors from the land before time. Pale Ale can feel like a similarly broad category, but this one is very much of the more assertive kind. Deep gold with piercing piney bitterness and citrus hop flavours, it's a throwback to the relatively recent past. A Bright deep gold beer with Orange, grapefruit & pine aroma. Taste of Citrus with a balanced malt depth.

Wakachangi Lager. An easy drinking lager with a good indoor outdoor flow, the perfect beer with a kiwi twist, an Otago beer with north Canterbury flavours, brewed near Nelson by a West Coaster with the ol' misty waters of the Waikato. Wakachangi - quite nice beer!

Mermaid's Mirth is a bit of a local legend in Mt Maunganui. Generously packed with American hops where Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook deliver a citrusy flavour and aroma, supported by a clean and crispy body. Exceptionally easy drinking for 6% she may be legendary but comes with a cautionary tale...

They say its wings bring thunder and its eyes flash lightning, but the thunderbird's intensity is benevolent, its appearance a good omen. This bright IPA borrows its name to give a fresh retelling to a familiar story by keeping things lean, lucid and enlivening. Its dazzling tropical character comes thanks to a hop from North America, where these tales were first told.

When the cliché was coined that dogs are humanity's best friends, it was a Greyhound they had in mind. Whether your plans involve a run or a rest, a greyhound is up for joining in. Parrotdog dedicated their low carb hazy pale ale to them, and kept it fittingly lean and easy-go-ing, with sparkling citrus hop characters, good balance, and a crisp finish.

The troublesome original release, named for the problematic first brew day which hugely emphasised its hop bitterness. It's matured and evolved nicely over the years. Big tropical hop flavour from local varieties with strong bitterness from an English hop to honour its origins, all balanced by plenty of malt.

Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds' eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.

Bright and lively like a parrot, but small and ubiquitous like a sparrow, the Yellowhammer adds a flash of colour and a musical chirp to open spaces all over the country. The way it does a lot with just a little inspires this smooth and refreshing hazy pale ale, streaked with the striking tropical notes of Strata hops.
