You may have noticed that, unlike the last two years, this fresh hop beer has no reference to PORK. And we’ve all got @abandonedbrewerysupportscrime to thank for that. We had absolutely no idea that employing Aotearoa's most notorious vandal could, in any way, shape, or form, be supporting crime. @abandonedbrewerysupportscrime has shown us the error of our ways! And we will be eternally grateful for that. 

Because we’re so so deeply ashamed of our actions and so so so sorry for all the harm we have caused, this year's Fresh Hop is a form of repentance. The cleansing properties of an Xtra Pale Ale, paired with Freestyle Hops’ finest Riwaka, will exorcise any evil spirits, purify the soul and help us all avoid eternal damnation! And if this beer isn’t enough to satiate your desire for public self-flagellation, we’ve even fired our General Manager who endorsed the idea of collaborating with the lawless wrongdoer PORKSTA in the first place… 

All it took was one brave soul speaking out to show us our sinful ways. Thank you so much @abandonedbrewerysupportscrime, you’re the reason this beer exists. In @abandonedbrewerysupportscrime’s name, amen. 

Autumn drink? spring beer? The truth is that time is meaningless. Drink Red IPA at 10 am on a Tuesday in February, Big toffee malt richness with citrus hop bite to back it up.

Again you might be asking yourself “That hazy #18 was perfect in every way, how could they possibly beat that!?” Well the answer is Centennial, Talus, Citra and Azzacca. Didn’t see that one coming did ya? Idiot. 

If there’s one thing Aotearoa does as well as growing weed it’s growing fucking unreal hops. We decided to combine the two by smoking as much weed as we could handle then brainstorming the unique combination of Riwaka, Motueka and NZ Cascade that went into this.

Du Narr, du hast das wirklich übersetzen lassen, um herauszufinden, was wir über dieses Bier gesagt haben! Verdammt, es muss wehtun, wenn man ihn wie einen Trottel aussehen lässt. Aber wenn Sie tatsächlich Deutsch sprechen, entschuldigen wir uns und Sie sind offensichtlich kein Dummkopf und wir lieben Sie und Ihre Kultur. Deshalb haben wir dieses Bier gemacht. Jawohl!

A classic oatmeal stout dry hopped to fuck with the finest US-grown Amarillo. Big Orange-citrus hop character, robust bitterness, classic coffee and cocoa.

Get teary eye’d thinking about the fact you were born too late to enjoy the Six o'clock swill? Well Abandoned Brewery has the perfect beer for you and your mates to accurately recreate it in the comfort of your own home. And just like your forebears - logout of Teams and drink as many of these beers as you responsibly can until the clock strikes 6 pm, beauty!

What do we really need to tell you about a hazy pale ale at this point? Blah blah blah blah. Something something. Words about this beer. Blah blah blah. Hops and malt and etc etc etc. Mmmmm yummy beer, yes I want to drink it mmmm.

Goes down as easily as the US removes political leaders of resource-rich third-world countries. Just like a Weapon Of Mass Destruction, the perfect excuse to invade the pub with your closest allies. The perfect beer to destabilise the relationship with your significant other by going out and drinking this when it’s probably a pretty bad idea in the long term.

Crafted, as all good German-like pilsner should be, to be necked in responsibly large quantities while sitting in das Biergarten un bratwurst und sauerkraut. PROST Mein Bruder, trinken wir viel davon verantwortungsvoll! Ya ya ya!

No stupid boring haze or tropical gosh darn hops. Pale, crisp, with the lightest touch of malt, whatever the fuck that all means. It’s a freaking LAGER alright, let's not over think this…

Save yourself (or your mate or your lover) a trip to Turkey, cover that bald spot up with an Official Abandoned Brewery Hat!! 

Just like the Abandoned Caps, but with mesh on the back, to keep your fat head cool all summer long!
