Situated in the Heart of the South Pacific, New Zealand boasts an unsurpassed climate and environment for the production of high quality grain and seed crops. In fact, the island whilst only about the size of Great Britain, spans nearly 12 degrees of latitude, providing a rich range of micro-climates, from which springs a wealth of clean, healthy produce. This climate, a pollution-free environment, responsive young soils and a comparative freedom from pests and disease, offers superb conditions for the production of high quality two row malting barley and hops - the ingredients which make up Black Rock beer kits.
