We are excited to be the brewers behind the beer that pays tribute to a living legend, Dr. Ron Beatson, Plant & Food NZ senior scientist and hop breeder.
This year Dr. Ron Beatson celebrates 50 years in plant growing, during that time he’s bred successful hop cultivars Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Motueka, Nectaron, and many more that have become cult favourites amongst hop growers, brewers and craft beer drinkers around NZ.
Our brewery has a close relationship with Dr Ron Beatson and the New Zealand hop growers cooperative NZ Hops Ltd.
We couldn’t let Ron’s special work anniversary pass without making a fuss, and a dam good beer while we are at it.
