Meet the Garston Hops team!
-
James McNamee
FOUNDER
Favourite Hop = Cascade
“Showcases our southern terroir in all the best ways.”
It all began over a beer with a friend and we haven’t looked back since. James is the mastermind behind Garston Hops who hides in the shadows but is always keen for more beers with friends.
If you can’t find him in the office, something is wrong.

Lizette McNamee
LOGISTICS AND ACCOUNTS
Favourite Hop = Motueka
“The most beautifully expressive underrated hop.”
Lizette is superwomen when it comes to all things hops. Any queries, she’s the woman for the job.
If you can’t find her in the office, you’ll likely find her climbing the nearest mountain, to then reward herself with a cold one of course.

Blaz Jelen
HOP PRODUCTION MANAGER
Favourite Hop = Riwaka
“Not always easy to grow, but exceptional in every drop of beer.”
Blaz has come from a 5th Generation hop farm in Slovenia, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a passion for growing hops like no other.
If you can’t find him in the hop gardens then you’ll likely find him next to the river with a rod in one hand and beer in the other.
