Game on. The 2026 Fresh Hop arcade is open, and Pinball Wizard is ready to rack up high scores. Canyon Brewing waited for that sweet spot - when Nelson Sauvin and Rakau from Garston were ripe and ready - then loaded them into the truck and straight into their brite tank. The final score? A multi-ball explosion of fresh hop flavour of overripe Central Otago stone fruit, passionfruit, and gooseberry, ending the game with subtle bitterness. Pull the plunger and take a sip.

A cloudy mystery, as adventurous as a Kiwi summer.

For the focused, who play as hard as they work.

Crisp, refreshing, a trusted mate after a long day.

This delightfully fruity, aromatic beer gets its lead from the abundance of USA hops. A top fermented ale style, the tropical fruit salad and passionfruit flavours give way to a soft clean bitter finish. A very well balanced beer. Awarded the title, World's Best Pale - American style Pale Ale at the 2021 World Beer Awards.

A New Zealand interpretation, Cassels Double Cream Milk Stout is intensely rich, strong and malty with a creamy, almost velvet texture. A full bodied stout with dark mocha and chocolate aromatics. This Double Cream Milk Stout contains a non-fermentable lactose sugar derived from 100% pure New Zealand milk.

Brewed on the banks of the Heathcote River in Woolston, Cassels Woolston Pale Ale is a traditional Pale Ale with distinctive New Zealand characteristics. This beer offers a combination of punchy hop flavours balanced out by a trio of malts. Late hopping with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka varieties brings fruity, wine-like aromas to sit on top of the lightly toasted malt base. Rich and rounded with a smooth mouthfeel - tastes just like home.

Don't gamble with your treats - go All In with this decadent Imperial Pastry Stout that boasts complex flavours of Hokey Pokey ice cream and a light chocolate topping, keeping you on the edge of your seat. With a hefty 10% ABV, it features golden syrup and brown sugar to capture the essence of Hokey Pokey, while vanilla and milk sugars add the ice cream element, topped off with a drizzle of chocolate for that sweet indulgence.

The adventure doesn't have to end when you get home. Day Tripper is a low carb beer that's as intrepid as you are. Brewed with a combination of hop pellets and hop oil, for better mouthfeel, balance, fruitiness, and complexity. It's more than just a post-activity refresher, it's a flavour journey all of its own - from tangelo base camp, all the way to a crisp, stone fruit finish line. Enjoy the trip.

Richard Emerson loves it when his ears burn. It either means he's being talked about, or he's drinking one of his absolute favourites, a chilli chocolate stout. This luxurious, decadent brew is made with OCHO cocoa nibs, red chillies, and Belgian yeast, giving it a deliciously complex rich plum, raisin, and chocolate flavour, a smooth velvety texture, and of course a warming spicy finish. Don't worry, while Deaf by Chocolate may make your ears tingle a little, it won't actually make you deaf.

You drink a Hazy IPA because you want a bit more from your beer. You drink a Hazed & Confus-anero'd when you want a bit more from your hazy. Brewed with the braver taste bud in mind, Emerson's have taken their signature recipe of Hazed & Confused with Riwaka, Simcoe and Mosaic hops, then added one of the world's hottest chilli peppers. Or as they like to say, it's infus-anero'd with habanero.

A hallucinatory, mind-bending, consciousness-expanding, dream-like experience is not what you'll find in this can. It's just a beer, man. But, this cloudy IPA does have a gnarly hit of Riwaka, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops, with a tropical citrus flavour, and a totally piney finish. At least it's a trip for your taste-buds. Far out.
