BRONZE MEDAL, NZ Brewers Guild Awards 2022, 2023 - Indulge in the essence of summer with Eddyline's refreshing creation, Sippin' on Sunshine Hazy Pale Ale. Crafted to elevate your enjoyment, this brew is triple dry-hopped with a delightful blend of Mosaic, Sultana, and Motueka hops, creating a juicy and hazy experience. The smooth maltiness adds a touch of finesse to the burst of flavour, ensuring a harmonious balance that culminates in a refreshing crispness.

A wonderfully drinkable interpretation of a classic English ale. Bookbinder is a blend of four malts combined with two classic Nelson grown European hops (Fuggles and Riwaka). The beer pours an attractive reddish brown, with a cream coloured head. Bookbinder has a sweet, perfumey, malt and hop aroma with a soft, malty, fruit and vinous palate that is both full flavoured and refreshing with a long, gently drying finish.

Chocoloato is chocolate milk for grown ups. While it might not be very family-friendly, it is extremely planet friendly, animal friendly, worker friendly and palate friendly. A smooth creamy stout, combined with delicious, Fair Trade, Otis Chocolate Oat Milk, to create the most velvety, rich beverage imaginable. It's basically your pudding in a pint glass. Enjoy before, during, or after dinner.

The adventure doesn't have to end when you get home. Day Tripper is a low carb beer that's as intrepid as you are. Brewed with a combination of hop pellets and hop oil, for better mouthfeel, balance, fruitiness, and complexity. It's more than just a post-activity refresher, it's a flavour journey all of its own - from tangelo base camp, all the way to a crisp, stone fruit finish line. Enjoy the trip.

This is a love letter to Dublin, from 19,140 km away, in Dunedin. Written in Ireland's beautiful mother tongue: Stout. First, a serenade of coffee flavours and toasty notes, before tenderly giving way to delicate bitter, dry finish, that will leave you longing for more. Is tú mo ghrá, as they say in the other Irish dialect.

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.

After a hard day's fighting to the death in the Colosseum, you deserve something a bit special. Gladiator Bock is so decadent it's fit for an emperor's plaything. Rich, dark, and a little bit strong. The blend of five malts meld together beautifully over many weeks, to deliver an indulgent ruby-brown Spartacus of a brew. It's not for the faint of heart, or the faint of taste bud.

Batten down the hatches. Stock up on firewood. Don your dressing gown. Slide into you slippers. Lap the cat. Open this can. Weizenbock is the perfect brew for hunkering down. It translates to strong wheat beer, but there's a lot more to it than that. Malty, rich, full-bodied, and warming, with flavours of Christmas cake, Easter spices and chocolate. Bring on winter.

Porter is the oldest commercially brewed style and London Porter was Emerson's first beer. Dark, dry and mellow with some hoppy characteristics, pours a deep brown colour with reddish tints.

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 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.

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.
