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

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

Rich Golden malts fermented using authentic German Lager Yeast with a refreshing finish from NZ's Pacifica Hops!

BRONZE MEDAL, NZ Brewers Guild Awards 2021 - This super-drinkable IPA is meticulously brewed with a focus on hop aroma, featuring a captivating blend of Citra, NZ Motueka, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. The result is a symphony of citrusy-tropical flavours and aromas, with minimal bitterness for an exceptionally smooth finish.

A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown, with a cream coloured head. Bookbinder has a sweet, perfumey, malt and hop aroma with a soft, malty, fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing with a long, gently drying finish.

Wash down your huhu grubs, pickled worms, and mountain oysters with a refreshing can of Crickets. This hazy pale ale was created especially for the Hokitika Wildfoods Festival, using cricket flour, made by crushing the insects. The wild, high protein supplement helps increase the haze and body of the brew. But you will be relieved to know it just tastes like beer with delicious peach, passionfruit, and lemon notes. You won't like Crickets, you will love it.

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.

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.

Emerson's Mein Helles Bock is a strong pale lager that showcases clean, elegant, bready malt flavors, making it deceptively easy to drink. The Helles Bock style, also known as Maibock, is a relatively pale, strong, malty German lager with a nicely attenuated finish that enhances drinkability. It often features a more noticeable hop character compared to other bocks.

Hold on to an Emerson's tasting where ever you go. The beach, the backyard, the back of beyond, or even just your place. This mini bar contains a carefully curated selection of favourites, so you can take your taste-buds on a journey, even while you're on a journey. Just make sure you keep it somewhere cold - this isn't actually a real fridge.

The Orange Roughy's scientific name is Hoplostethus atlanticus. Which roughly translates as, hazy, hoppy pale ale with a tropical fruit aroma, citrus flavour, and malty backbone. In the past, the roughy has been subject to unsustainable practices - completely selling out. Thanks to the hard work of our brewers, numbers are now on the rise. Careful you don't exceed your quota, though.

This is a beer with a story to tell and all the main characters are women. It was brewed by the women of Emerson's to mark International Women's Day in celebration of equality, diversity and really good beer. Pulp Fiction is a hazy pale made with Talus and Mosaic hops and infused with mango puree. it has a silky, tropical mouthfeel, and absolutely no notes of bias or discrimination.
