When Wanka started building trails in Sticky Forest this was and still is the OG jump line. To honour this trail B.Effect created a big sticky, dank, resinous beast, of an old school IPA. Named Pedal or Die for good reason - you better pedal fast if you want to make it.

Chasing ridgelines is a part of life here in Wanaka. Ridgeline Hazy IPA is brewed specifically to quench your thirst, cheers your mates and celebrate your epic mission.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on Freesyle hop-farms in Moutere valley, rubbing and sniffing the pungent new season sticky hop cones. Sticky and dank with Lupulin, they've steeped massive loads of fresh harvested green Nelson Sauvin hop cones, flown same day to their brewers, Chris and Craig at Steam Brewery, and backed up by new season hop pellets of Riwaka, Motueka and Sauvin, also fast-tracked by Freestyle in record time.

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.

BRB's Laid Back Lager is a refreshingly simple Lager. The Fruity and floral characteristics are first noticed in the aroma, and then carried through the palate by a perfectly malted body. It is crisp and refreshing.

The Czech town of Plzen is known for producing a beer famed for its strong hoppy taste. In BRB's Pilsner they use Pacifica & Cascade hops to produce a citrusy, bitter taste that'll bounce round your mouth like a rabbit on a trampoline.
