Fire Horse is this year's annual fresh hop release from Epic. Using fresh Riwaka hops from Eggers Hop Farm in upper Moutere, the hops are picked at peak condition and flown same day from farm to brewery, then brewed the same day while their oils and aromatics are at full intensity. This narrow harvest window is the only time a beer like this can be made during the year - capturing freshness, energy, bold juice and aroma that simply doesn't exist outside the season.

Full Send was brewed as a collaboration between Epic Beer and AJ Hackett Bungy for the 2026 Smith's New Zealand IPA Challenge in Queenstown. It brings together two brands that have never had much interest in playing it safe. Full Send is a bright, high-impact New Zealand IPA built around Eshcapade - a brand new hop variety from Eggers Hops. Motueka, Riwaka and Nectaron play the supporting chorus, adding lemon-lime zest, tropical lift, and juicy stone fruit depth.

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.

Released in 2011, Hop Zombie quickly earned cult status around the globe. Built with multiple dry hop additions and a massive hop load. Hop Zombie delivers dense tropical fruit, sticky resin, and a long, saturated finish. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion... join the Hop Zombie Revolution!

Epic JIRA was never meant to exist. Crisp, composed, and forged with absolute precision, it reimagines the pilsner for a new world - taking the discipline, balance, and clarity of Japanese brewing and charging it with the vibrant character of modern hops. Riwaka brings an unmistakable burst of passionfruit, lime, and tropical lift, while Citra adds bright citrus and clean, refreshing drive.

Originally brewed for Wellington's Annual West Coast IPA Challenge, Lupulingus has earned its cult following. This formidable Imperial IPA pours a striking tangerine hue and delivers 40% more US hops than Hop Zombie, unleashing layers of ripe stonefruit, caramelised peach and apricot syrup over a fresh piney backbone. Its legendary hop intensity lingers long after each sip, finishing with a resinous bitterness that has made Lupulingus one of the brewery's most sought-after releases.

For decades, the Neon Cowboy has tipped his hat over Auckland, watching late-night antics, questionable dance moves, and epic yarns. He's seen it all - love, heartbreak, and that one guy who tried to ride a shopping trolley home. Now, he's got his own hazy IPA. Packed with El Dorado, Cascade, and Citra hops, it shines bright with tropical swagger and a citrusy wink. Saddle up, partner!

Forged in hops. Tempered by time. First brewed in 2015 now reborn a decade later-Stone Hammer IPA returns to shake the halls of Epic once more. This isn't just a beer. This is a full-throttle Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe war cry, echoing with citrus lightning and tropical thunder. That first sip strikes with juicy hop oils-grapefruit zest, passionfruit flesh, and a whisper of pine sap. A sturdy malt backbone holds the line, offering a subtle caramel sweetness before the bitterness surges like a battle cry across your taste buds. Bold, brash, and dangerously drinkable-Stone Hammer IPA has earned its place in the halls of Epic legend. Prove you're worthy.

Stout, the original craft beer. From a time when the world was awash in a sea of industrial lager, you could always find that one beer of difference, Stout. The only beer with its own global annual holiday, when everyone finds some distant relative from Ireland to justify taking the day off work and drinking Stout. Epic Stout has a medium body, creamy texture and long roasty finish. Satisfying, creamy and smooth.

A refreshingly lively lager with hints of tropical, fruit like notes and a mild bitterness. DB Export 33 has an ABV of 4.6%. This full flavoured lager was launched in 2008 and named 'Best Low Carbohydrate Beer in New Zealand' in 2009 and 2010 at the NZ Beer Awards. It also became the first New Zealand low carb beer to win a Gold medal at the prestigious Monde Selection awards in Belgium in 2010, winning Gold again in 2011.
