Richard Emerson was first introduced to European style beer when he travelled to Scotland with his parents. Upon his return he became disillusioned with New Zealand beer, which lead him to brew for himself, launching with London Porter and going on to brew many award winning beers earning him the title of “Hop Father” in the brewing industry.
Today Emerson’s continues to release ‘beer for people who like beer’ with a focus on style, quality & distinctiveness.
