We have a great affinity to the Moutere Valley on New Zealand’s South Island. Cool glassy lakes dot the region, buttressing wetlands and lush forests. All of these varied ecosystems dip and crest over an endless rolling countryside. If we squint our eyes a little, it becomes a familiar vantage akin to our hilly Massachusetts. Peppered among this landscape are swaths of farmland, historic and new, some of the world's great undiscovered vineyards, and, of course, hop yards galore. This brings us to our friends, Eggers Hops. Egger’s Special is a Double IPA utilizing one of the most stunning lots of Riwaka we’ve had the privilege of brewing with. This late-harvested crop explodes with notes of bright pineapple & zippy candied lime peel. ABV 7.8%
