We might be biased, but there’s something pretty special about having all of this right on our doorstep!

The vineyards and cellar doors, the food, the people and everything in between - it’s all part of what makes North Canterbury W**e Region worth exploring.

Great to see the region getting a little love from Stuff. ❤️

North Canterbury doesn’t need to shout about how good it is. The w**e says plenty.

🍻 Derelict Brewing is back!

And they’re kicking things off with a collab with The Good Drop! 10 Acre is now pouring! 👀

👉 Get yourself to The Good Drop and give it a try.

You might know this one.

First brewed back in 2018, 10 Acre is our rotating hop series that has evolved through different Ingredients and brewing processes over the years.
This iteration is in collaboration with The Good Drop and is an unfiltered pale ale loaded with Freestyle Farms Limequat hop blend and Yakima Chief Mosaic, bringing fresh lime zest, kumquat, tropical citrus, ripe fruit and a light resinous hop hit that adds depth and complexity.
10 Acre has always been a pale ale with an IPA sized hop load, and this latest iteration is no different.
It's juicy, hazy, fresh and properly hop forward.

Pouring at The Good Drop
