2026 Hāpi Sessions

Nelson is a beautiful place, and it's no secret that it's also home to some of the best-grown hops on the planet. Each year in Autumn, leading brewers from all around the world take the pilgrimage south to rub, smell, select, and harvest these hops - and what do we do with all of that brewing prowess sitting in one place? Enter the Hāpi Sessions. Three collaborations, three breweries at the top of their game, three beers, each showcasing a different hop forward style - in a playful interpretation of one of the beers that helped to make each brewery famous. And, this year, each featuring a brand new hop varietal from the Hāpi Research programme.
