Six Great Beers for a NZ Summer

There's nothing nicer than kicking back after a hot day on the briny with an icy cold beverage. Just in time for summer, check out this assortment of fresh, delicious brews to accompany whatever's on the menu.

Export Crushed

We get it. Life is busy. Well, let this be your little reminder to kick back and chill for a bit!

Grab a friend and spin a yarn with this deliciously refreshing twist of lemon citrus sunshine or a burst of tropical pineapple. Technically beer, but like nothing you’ve tasted before.

Export Crushed – low-key crushing it this summer.

Canyon Brewing

Style: Pale Ale 4.2%

Some beers are made for the big catch, others are made for the story about the one that got away. A sessionable drop that’s clean, bright and zesty, with citrus and tropical aromas that’ll have you hooked from the first sip. No frills, no fuss, just a damn good beer to crack open while you’re waiting for a bite. Cast one back and enjoy.

Pairs well with: Grilled meat, fried chicken, anything spicy, and tall tales told around the tackle box.

Bright-Eyed
Style: Non-alcoholic Hazy IPA <0.05%

Bright-Eyed is the beer for those who like their beers hazy and their mornings clear. This subtly bitter brew is bursting with tropical bangers of pineapple, mango, and citrus on the nose, finishing light like your next-day regrets. The ultimate brew to keep you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Pairs well with: Burgers, wings, and a bit of banter by the BBQ.

Liberty Divine Wind

The original Divine Wind was a typhoon that delivered salvation to samurai Japan by wiping out the invading Mongol fleet. Fortunately you’ll get no such drama from this one. It’s a clean, refreshing, Japanese-style lager with rice in the malt and a flourish of noble hops. More of a Divine Breeze and all the better for it.

Swordfish Mojo

This beer contains the mojo of the sea. Yep, this beer actually contains salt water.

A crisp, flavoursome low-carb lager that’s not only made ‘Of the Sea’, it’s made ‘For the Sea’, because it helps LegaSea in their mission to restore abundance to the ocean. Available at any good liquor store or supermarket near you. Shop beer and merch online: swordfishmojo.com
