The stuff of legends, the rogue hog roams somewhere beyond the black stump - feared, hunted, but never caught. Like its namesake, this West Coast IPA charges with upfront citrus and pine and then wallows in dankness. Too good not to dive in snout-first.

Don't be fooled this no adjunct stout has real depth with decadent roast malt flavours and a mild bitterness that carries throughout finishing with a note of cold-brewed coffee.

Sundowner is a little gem with its creamy body dominated by stone fruit and tropical flavours and comes in at 5.8%.

Lakeman is truly Taupo proud, and this New Zealand Pale Ale pays homage to their home. It is brewed with iconic kiwi hops Riwaka and Moutere, giving bursts of passionfruit and citrus on an approachable malt.

A West Coaster is usually a no-fuss character, and this IPA has the same laid-back attitude. It's a modern take on an IPA featuring iconic NZ hops - Rakau, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin. A solid bitterness up front eases into a fruit-forward finish with layers of mango, guava, and cool white grape, the kind of laid-back fruitiness you'd expect from a West Coast commune somewhere up the Fox River.

The bitterness of Leffe Blonde is delicate, extending over the whole palate and lingering with a sweet malty finish. The higher alcohol level contributes to the mouth warming, full-bodied taste, while fruity notes are complimented by a gentle hop bitterness. With a subtle dry clove aroma it has a hint of oranges.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

It sounds Japanese but it's as American as having a BMI of 32. The Yakima Valley in Washington state, situated in the top left corner of the lower 48, is home to some of our favourite hop varieties, the tiny green flavour bombs that powered the whole craft beer renaissance from the get go. Liberty is what it smells like.

First known as Imperial Draught Ale, before being nick named 'The Brown Bomber' by servicemen in the forties and later taking on that name in 1950. Established as Lion Brown from 1953, it was originally served only from the tap, a unique barrel shaped stand that became an icon in pubs around the country.

A clean, fresh and distinctive ice beer, Lion Ice is ice-brewed, a centuries-old German brewing method known as 'Eisbock'. This special brewing process involves chilling the beer in ice chambers, causing crystals to form.

Lion Red, the quintessential Kiwi beer, began life as the Pale Ale from the Great Northern Brewery in 1907 - a great year for beer and an even better one for beer drinkers. Over the last century, Lion Red has become a favourite for celebrating great times with good mates.
