This delightfully fruity, aromatic beer gets its lead from the abundance of USA hops. A top fermented ale style, the tropical fruit salad and passionfruit flavours give way to a soft clean bitter finish. A very well balanced beer. Awarded the title, World's Best Pale - American style Pale Ale at the 2021 World Beer Awards.

Golden in colour and very approachable, our full bodied IPA uses a blend of highly aromatic New Zealand hops. A light tropical fruit flavour with a hint of light caramel malt makes this IPA a refreshing beer for all year round.

Zen master, summer Sensei. A strong, gentle brew.

30 years of The Country radio show, means three decades of Jamie Mackay's dulcet tones filling our airwaves. He sure can talk. But Raymond Bowan and Richard Emerson came up with a plan. Farmers Cut extra thick cut chips, paired with Farmer Pour Extra Crispy Pale Ale. It's the Perfect farmers combo to celebrate a real farming legend. Best of all, it should keep Jamie quiet, for at a moment, at least.

It's not just chefs who like working with the freshest ingredients. The Emerson's brewers couldn't wait to get their hands on the latest crop of fresh Motueka hops from the greenthumbs at Garston Hop Farm. After harvesting, they're rushed from farm to brewery, and straight into the kettle. The extra-fresh cones give the XPA an extra-lively lemon and lime flavour, with background notes of tropical fruit, and a lovely hop oil texture. You're sure to give it a double green thumbs up.

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.

Introducing Loud and Clear. A hard-core addition to the Emerson's core range. A bright & beautiful double IPA that's rich & juicy and bold & balanced. At 8.4%. It's also a good one to sip & savour with a friend quietly, of course.

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.

The 2024 Bird of the Year is now also the Bird with a Beer. Emerson's love their Hoiho there in Dunedin and they are proud to have played a part in turning its yellow eyes gold, for the second time. People's Penguin is easy drinking, with vibrant notes of stone fruit, and a biscuity malt backbone. It features local Garston Rakau hops, and Riwaka Amplifire hop oil from Clayton. Enjoy the sweet taste of victory.

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.

As a young man, Richard Emerson was a huge fan of the Dunedin Sound. Being deaf, he couldn't hear the music, but he could feel it. From the jangling guitars reverberating through the speakers, to the buzz reverberating through the gigs. This beer is a tribute to The Sound, made with NZ hops for a bold local flavour, that will reverberate around your taste buds.
