Fresh, fruity and floral notes give way to touches of caramel sweetness, while its superb, lingering aftertaste continues to tantalise the tastebuds long after.

The brew that freshly harvested hop cones dream about being a part of, the award-winning Harvest Pilsner? is back!

Our world-famous fresh hop pilsner has doubled down on a duo of Riwaka? and NZH-106 hops; locally picked, lovingly packed, and back to the brew mere minutes after harvesting.

The combo opens with an exquisite resinous note, balanced by a tropical fruit sweetness, twists of ripe citrus peel, and set amongst the backbone of a crisp, dry, and damn-tasty pilsner. One sip and we think you?ll agree, this is as fresh as the harvest gets!

We are proud to be part of the Bract Brewing Project, testing out experimental varieties grown by NZ Hops.

In our quest to continually expand our sensory and taste profiles with our breeding program looking for those ?hops with a difference?, NZH-111 has taken us down another unique flavour profile that is not often prevalent in our NZ varieties. See if you can pick it. More of a traditional heavy set Bine structure makes this quite a robust variety but does have a tight harvest window meaning when she?s ready, she?s ready.

- Brent McGlashen, Hop Grower

Continuing our relationship with New Zealand Hops' breeding programme we have now come to Bract NZH-111. This feels like a pretty unique hop for New Zealand, where perhaps we've been lacking a bit in the huge tropical fruit aromas we have gotten used to over the years. It is more delicate, almost European in presentation with subtle hints of spice, citrus and earthiness. It is very nice in its own right and an exciting candidate to broaden the spectrum and usages of locally grown hops. Nice firm bitterness too, making it very suitable for the pilsner we decided to brew with it.

- S?ren Eriksen, Head Brewer

Hop Revolution and Pacific Coast Brewery are proud to announce the release of their new collaboration beer. This refreshing NZ Pilsner is brewed with Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin hops, two of New Zealand?s most sought-after varieties, grown and processed by Hop Revolution. Named after Hop Revolution?s Tapawera hop garden, this beer is a celebration of Nelson Tasman?s unique terroir.

Tapawera is crisp and refreshing with strong tropical fruit and gooseberry with a powerful, dank diesel character. The way we?ve employed these punchy hops in such a restrained Pilsner style, gives the beer a distinct New Zealand spin. We chose to brew with 100% Gladfield Malt and innovative Lalbrew Novalager yeast for a clean base and a crisp finish

Monte Pirata West Coast Pilsner 6.2% - 440ml Can

Crisp and invigorating, this traditionally brewed pilsner has been hopped with Riwaka and Mosaic Cryo hops for huge swells of grapefruit, lemon, lime and mango aromatics which crash down with every sip of this hoppy beer. A rippling effervescence and clean, dry finish means peak refreshment from this tasty brew!

The beer that built a brewery. This is an all NZ hopped English style IPA where the ABV is lower and the malt presence is higher than other more modern counterparts. Orange brown pour with a dense white head and a medley of NZ hop aromas. Some caramel meldanoidins back up this aroma and deliver the toasty, malty palate of the english style. Medium to full body with an assertive bitterness.
