LIBERTY BREWING

Oh Bro Pale Ale 5% abv 6 x 330ml cans RRP $25.99

Here's proof that keeping things real shouldn't entail dumbing it down. Oh Bro is Liberty's idea of what a street smart pale ale should be. The coolly modulated US hop character of mangoes and passionfruit fused with biscuity malts makes it oh so easy to have one more. And maybe one after that.

Yakima Monster APA 6% abv 6 x 330ml cans RRP $26.99
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.

Jungle Juice Hazy IPA 6.6% abv 6 x 330mls RRP $28.99
This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.

EXPORT NZ FISHING COMPETITION MEASURE

Length is the new weight when it comes to bragging about your catch. These measures are approved for the Export NZ Fishing Competition – a nationwide, year-round fishing competition based on length. This model of fishing competition gives the angler the choice of whether to release their fish. The measure mat reaches 190cm long to cater for even the biggest kingfish and includes a paua, crayfish and scallop measure. Register at www.fishingcomp.co.nz to purchase your measure!

FISHBITES®

Get ready to set the hook® with a revolutionary brand of baits! Fishbites® are heavily infused with the proven flavour/scent technology that melts in the water, not on your hands. As the bait gradually dissolves, it releases a trail of powerful feeding stimulants that fish simply cannot resist. Fishbites baits and lures have caught over 70 species in New Zealand and the list keeps growing. Visit bit.ly/nzfishbites to find a retailer near you.
