Now in its ninth year, the annual GABS Hottest 100 Kiwi Craft Beers poll is the leading people’s choice index of the most popular craft beers in New Zealand. Each year, voters are asked to choose their five favourite beers of the year.
A global hub for craft beer enthusiasts, New Zealand’s craft breweries offer a diverse array of flavours and styles to suit every palate.
In a remarkable display of consistency and crowd appeal, Garage Project’s Pernicious Weed returns to the top spot six years after its first gold medal! Despite the gap, the beloved brew has remained a mainstay, appearing in the top 10 year after year, a testament to its enduring quality and widespread popularity.
First brewed in 2020, Parrotdog’s Birdseye was crowned 2021 Hottest 100 champion and has been on the podium ever since! This year, they retain the silver medal spot. Up five places from last year, we have Brave Brewing Co’s Tigermilk IPA coming in at number three.
