Rotorua's Croucher Brewing has snapped up a trophy at the Brewers Guild of New Zealand 2016 Beer Awards.
The company's 2.5 per cent low alcohol Lowrider received the trophy for best specialty beer.
The awards took place in Auckland on Saturday night.
Co-owner of Croucher Brewing and Brew Bar Paul Croucher said they were "obviously pretty happy" to have received the award.
"We were a bit bewildered to take the trophy. It's something we are really proud of and we put a lot of effort into achieving the low alcohol beer."
