A trailblazer when first released in 2009, Hopwired was one of the world's first IPAs to be brewed exclusively with NZ hops. In 2012, 8 Wired decided to mix Hopwired up a little by making a fresh hopped version. So demanded and so enjoyable to make, they have evolved it slightly over the years. They now present to you this green hopped IPA with Nelson & Motueka hops picked from Clayton Hops Korere Farm.

Manta Watch's research has revealed the rays' seasonal migrations across the South Western Pacific and their remarkable deep-dive abilities, underscoring the need to safeguard this taonga and the oceans they roam.
