Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down, and I’d
like to take a minute, just sit right there, I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a
fresh hop beer. In West Riwaka, born and raised, in the brewery is where I spent
most of my days. Chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool and all, and throwing fresh
cones in the whirlpool. When a couple of Brothers who were up to no good,
started makin’ IPA in my neighbourhood. I threw fresh Riwaka cones in that beer,
and said ‘now that’s fresh AF, ya hear?’
Huge grapefruit and dankness, combined with the grassy freshness that only fresh
hop cones can bring, one of our most aromatic, pungent and punchy beers we've
ever made. Dry hopped with pellets made from the same lot the cones were
harvested from!
