The Craft Beer Gold Standard

This box celebrates beer excellence in New Zealand! We’ve curated a special lineup of several award-winning beers, including trophy-takers and medalists from the New Zealand Beer Awards. These beers are the best of the best, judged against the toughest competition in the country. We’ve also made sure to include a range of different styles so you can sample the best of each category. We’ve got plenty of heavy hitters with Bach’s Bedford WCIPA and Hop Fed’s  The Serpent. If you’re after something lighter, how about a trophy-winner low alc XPA or a Belgian Table Beer? Need a break from hops?  Try a bodacious Imperial Stout, Feijoa Sour & more. But hey, don’t trust us, make your own notes and decide who the winners are in this box – you be the judge!

Description

What’s in the box?

Canyon – Vacation Hazy Pale Ale (Trophy NZBA)

Pillowy soft with waves of stone fruit, citrus, and tropical hop aromas. Easy on the bitterness but rich in texture, this haze earned its trophy for good reason.

Shining Peak – Little Fake XPA (Trophy NZBA)

This gold-medal XPA delivers juicy tropical and citrus hop notes over a light, sessionable body. It’s hop-forward without weighing you down.

Bach – Bedford WCIPA (Trophy NZBA)

These New Zealand hops (Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka, NZ101) sing over juicy Gladfield malts in a hop-forward IPA that’s both fruity and vigorous, with a trophy-worthy balance.

Sunshine – Feijoa Sour

Bright with fresh feijoas from Kaiapōni Farms, this sour has a zingy tropical tang that cuts clean. It’s light, vibrant, and a bold taste of backyard fruit.

8 Wired – iStout Imperial Stout (Silver Medal NZBA)

This imperial stout is rich and dark with deep chocolate, espresso, and roast flavours carried by a firm, hop-driven bitterness.

Hop Federation – The Serpent WCIPA

A bold West Coast IPA with explosive grapefruit, orange zest, and tropical fruit aromas. It wraps those flavours around a clean malt base and a firm, balanced bite (pun intended).

Garage Project – Four Legs Good Belgian Table Beer (Medal NZBA)

A low-alcohol farmhouse ale aged in oak, spiked with Wai-iti and Pacifica hops. Lightly tart, dry, and refreshingly crisp—yet full of spiced farmhouse charm.

B Effect – Wanaka Lager (Bronze Medal NZBA)

Malted with Vienna barley and hopped with Pacifica, this lager is clean, crisp, and quietly satisfying. It’s a low-key but refreshing choice.

BEERS by Bacon Bros – Buff Brown Beer

Malty and smooth, with chocolate-tinged caramel sweetness and a comforting backbone. It’s an easy-drinking beer that doesn’t skimp on character, perfect for winding down.

Citizen – Pilsner

Single-hopped with NZ Motueka, this pilsner hits you with bright citrus and lemon notes atop a subtle toffee malt base. Crisp, refreshing, and surprisingly layered for a go-to beer.

Behemoth – Something Hoppy IPA (Bronze Medal NZBA)

This IPA leans into hop variety with tropical, citrus, and pine aromas over a balanced malt foundation. A firm bitterness holds everything together.

Good George – Haymaker (Gold Medal NZBA)

Packed with lush citrus, tropical hop notes, and velvety bitterness. It’s a warming, aromatic, and rounded hazy IPA that lands gold status with ease.
