New Zealand's first American style IPA, released in 2008, has gone on to be New Zealand's most awarded beer. In recent years, it has won six back to back Best in Class trophies around the world including New Zealand, Australia and Sweden.

This is a classic West Coast (USA) style IPA. It has a dry finish, with limited malt sweetness, which accentuates the hop flavour and hop bitterness. So the beer is punchy on hop flavour, and firm lingering hop bitterness. The bitterness is 66 IBU - hoppy, bitter, dry.

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.

Fire Horse is this year's annual fresh hop release from Epic. Using fresh Riwaka hops from Eggers Hop Farm in upper Moutere, the hops are picked at peak condition and flown same day from farm to brewery, then brewed the same day while their oils and aromatics are at full intensity. This narrow harvest window is the only time a beer like this can be made during the year - capturing freshness, energy, bold juice and aroma that simply doesn't exist outside the season.

A bold evolution of the pilsner tradition, brewed with the spirit of San Francisco's iconic landmark. Crisp NZ pilsner malt lays the foundation, lifted by a touch of Vienna to support its bigger 6.7% frame. Then comes the hop wave: Citra leads with bright bursts of lime, grapefruit, and mango, while Mosaic adds layers of berry and resin. Like the bridge it's named after, Golden Gate West Coast Pilsner connects worlds: tradition and innovation, refreshment and intensity, New Zealand craft and California inspiration.

Harmonic Haze Machine pours a glowing, hazy golden hue with a soft, pillowy body that feels like weather you can drink. The aroma pulses with bright citrus, soft stonefruit, and a gentle tropical lift, while the palate delivers smooth waves of juicy fruit wrapped in a silky haze. The finish is balanced, seamless, and almost weightless - a clean fade-out that hums quietly on the palate like a lingering frequency. Smooth, hazy, and ridiculously easy to sink into.

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.

You can only drink so many beers in a lifetime, so you better make each one count. That's where Epic can help. Because at Epic they're obsessed with creating big hop-fuelled beers. This takes a shed-load of skill. It also takes a shed-load of hops. In fact there are 25 crammed into each can of Pale Ale. Many brewers would call this 'insane'. They call it flavour.

All you need for an EPIC weekend! The Epic Mixed Six features six of the best from Epic Brewing Company. The latest Mixed Six contains a selection of the freshest 6x330ml cans of Epic beer.

Stout, the original craft beer. From a time when the world was awash in a sea of industrial lager, you could always find that one beer of difference, Stout. The only beer with its own global annual holiday, when everyone finds some distant relative from Ireland to justify taking the day off work and drinking Stout. Epic Stout has a medium body, creamy texture and long roasty finish. Satisfying, creamy and smooth.
