The story of Macs Big Hoppa 12x330C

Mac's began in Nelson in 1981, when a publican named Terry, unhappy with the beer on offer for his pub, decided to brew his own. Getting a brewing licence was a job in itself, because nobody had applied for one in about fifty years, and finding a brewery, bottles and caps took more work again. Big Hoppa carries that pioneering name into a modern hop-forward style.

It is a 5.0% IPA built on three New Zealand hops: Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka. Together they give passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus on the nose, with subtle lime and herbal flavours following. Four malts keep the body light, and the finish is crisp and clean with the bitterness in balance. The brewer calls it an IPA with style, balance and serious presence.

Its crispness suits big, salty, saucy food. Try a rack of barbecued pork ribs, a loaded burger or a bowl of kimchi fried rice. The pack is twelve 330ml cans.
