Polar Circus
Bright citrus and bitter hoppiness, on an ice-cold backbone. Clean, crisp and dangerously drinkable.
Prepare for a wild ride with Near Miss, the Red IIPA that’s as bold as the collaboration between the mad scientists at Double Vision Brewing and the seasoned pros at Emerson's! This brew is all about New Zealand brewing, and it turns out that this recipe has landed somewhere between Oreti Red (the predecessor of Daredevil) and Red Rascal (the first beer of ours Richard Emerson loved) in terms of malt bill, process, and hop schedules... but has the throttle turned up to 8.2% to maximise the flavour!Near Miss gets its name from one of the first times we were out in Dunedin with Richard and Greg. We got Flamingo Scooters to take to town from the brewery, and Richard had never used one. The only problem we realised at full speed was that he didn’t know how to stop! He was screaming, “How do you STOP?!” while we yelled back instructions. Only when we remembered he couldn’t hear us did we look back and gesture how to hit the brakes. He slammed the brakes, put his foot down, and came to a halt right before a busy intersection. It was truly a Near Miss!
Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes.
Bursting with bright tropical notes, zestry citrus and that unmistakable punch of NZ hops make this IPA fresh, vibrant and unapologetically hoppy.
Ride the wave of flavour, a playful journey of citrus & hops, as you savour the endless summer. High on flavour, low on alcohol.
Wingmate is our non-alcoholic hazy IPA and delivers everything you love about craft beer, with none of the alcohol. Our brewers have cracked the recipe to craft a truly smashable drop, with a pleasant hoppy aromatic from the combination of Motueka and Nectaron hops used within.
Well it’s back, it’s that time again, seriously, how?. This label is not big enough to name all the stupid things he has said and done. But it’s time to dump the Cheeto Jebus, Angry Creamsicle, Captain Chaos, Cadet Bone Spurs, Orange Julius, Rome Burning in Man Form, Screaming Carrot Demon, Worlds ugliest toy troll, Godzilla with Less Foreign Policy Experience, Tangerine Tornado, Creep Throat, Trumple-thin-skin, (Hold Me Closer) Tiny Hand Sir, Drumpf, F*%kface Von Clownstick. We have taken a bit more of a sessionable approach to the 2025 Trump Presidency version of Dump the Trump IPA. Because of the crazy shiz that happens every day we think unfortunately we need to treat this as a marathon not a sprint.... sigh... So enjoy this IPA full of tropical, citrus and stone fruit characters and just hope that our American Cuzzies get through the next 4 year ok.
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.
A collaboration with North Canterbury hop growers Bold River Hops. Bright and clean with delightful fruit character and a crisp bitterness.
