From the east of the south comes Once Upon A Time in the West. A west coast pilsner brewed with American Cascade, Amarillo and Citra hops, but not by cowboys. This epic brew has a big hit of tropical notes, and (spoiler alert) a dramatic orange citrus finale. Get offa your horse and try it, after high noon of course.

Phantom Lords are so misunderstood. Everyone thinks they want to tear your soul out, or claim your firstborn. Take this one. Yes, it does the whole Dark Side thing - black as tar, roasty chocolate notes, but it's also chirpy and hoppy as an American Pale Ale. Turns out Phantom Lords just wanna have fun, then tear your soul out.

Some like it cold. If you're reading this, you probably do, too. You've come down from a day in the freezing snow and turned your frostbitten nose up at a hot toddy or mulled wine, instead opting for the coldest one you could find. Snow Business is a cold IPA, brewed at chillier than usual temperatures, to be crisp and refreshing. Best served at 8-10 degrees, which probably seems warm to you.

This year, the Emerson's Brew Crew went to Clayton Hop Farm on an important mission to harvest a bounty of the freshest Nelson Sauvin hops. And when you pick fresh hops, you get Sticky Digits. Resinous, lupulin covered hands, and a rich, smooth, fresh hop hazy IPA, with grapey, gooseberry, limey flavours. They've got sticky, now it's time for you to get stuck in.

Officially, this is a Mexican-style lager. But you could think of it as a Dunedin Cerveza. A very refreshing beer from a city that could hardly be further south of the border. It's crisp, with a malty backbone, subtle hop flavours, and just a hint of citrus but feel free to add a fresh slice of your own. Now you know what they've always known down there: nothing beats an ice-cold Sunny Day.

If you've been mowing your super-long lawn, running super-fast, or out in the super-hot sun, you'll need to super-quench your super-thirst. This Pacific Pilsner has been dry-hopped with NZ and US hops to make it super-tasty, while it's light body and crisp finish make it super-refreshing. At just 4% ABV, and 40% lower in carbs, you can feel slightly-smug, too.

Havana has been fighting the good coffee fight since their Cuba Street days, back in 1989. That's even longer than our good beer fight. So, this "about bloody time" collaboration is well earned. Deep, dark brown in colour, smooth and creamy in texture, with a sweet, caramelised taste, complemented by just a hint of bitterness. plus, of course, a hint of coffee to finish. Happy 35th Birthday, big brother- viva la revolution.

A Low Carb beer that just isn't about being low carb, it is about the flavour. It is a Low Carb Pale Ale that has the incredible hop aroma and hop flavour you expect from a typical Epic beer. Luke Nicholas owner/founder of Epic Brewing Company says 'we were shocked when reading that Low Carb beer sales were greater than the total Craft Beer market in New Zealand. On hearing this I could feel the pain of a great number of drinkers who were drinking low carb, but at the cost of a really delicious beer. It was time to help them out, as we did back in 2005 when we helped the whole of the New Zealand beer market with the wonderfully dry hopped Epic Pale Ale'.

After the massive success of Blue Low Carb Pale Ale Epic now have a Hazy joining their low carb family. Crush is a fresh and fruity hazy pale ale with full flavour and 75% less carbs than their Joose Party Hazy Pale Ale.

Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution.
