Debuting in 2009, Hopwired made waves as a groundbreaking IPA, marking the world's first IPA that used hops exclusively grown in Aotearoa. Current day this IPA is as good as ever, tropical fruits dominate with fresh citrus and malt in the background. 

With well over a decade of producing some of the most innovative beers locally, Soren Eriksen continues to live the 8 wired mentality. Utilising old wine casks from local wineries to build one of the biggest barrel ageing programs in NZ. Allowing them to push the boundaries of beer styles and produce some beers that usually can only be found in a small Danish village's.
