For the dads that enjoy cracking open a cold one, McLeod’s Longboarder Lager is a gesture that is sure to go appreciated on Father’s Day. It is consistently judged New Zealand’s Premium Craft Lager for a reason with its clean and bright aroma with citrus and melon hoppiness. It goes down smooth with cracker-like maltiness and finely balanced bitterness. You can find McLeod's in selected liquor stores across the country or online on the website.

Hastings Distillers Barrel-aged Negroni
Special things happen when organic Negroni is left to linger in oak and we have a feeling many dads out there would come to agree if they were to try Hastings Distillers’ exclusive Barrel-aged Negroni. To create this ready to enjoy cocktail, a unique blend of East Block 200 gin, L’Opera aperitif and Rubis vermouth is aged 18 months in a bespoke French oak barrel, elevating the Negroni to a superior level of richness and complexity. Expertly crafted from Hastings Distillers’ organic range, the flavours deepen and darken with time – savour notes of marmalade and candied peel, juniper, mocha and dried herbs. The Barrel-Aged Negroni is deliciously bitter, and ideally enjoyed in the moment.

Proper Crisps
Snacks on Father’s Day are absolutely essential and you can’t go wrong with a classic bag of crisps. Our fave is Proper Crisps – glorious and blistery, Big Cut crisps are unpeeled, sliced big and hand-cooked low and slow for a ridiculously bigger satisfying crunch — no crinkles required. Their thickly cut golden and purple potatoes are dusted with a proper touch of Marlborough Sea Salt and a colourful blend of freshly cracked rainbow peppercorns for a BIG peppery flavour.
