## About

It was a dream abandoned in a place joy forgot. Among
the cobwebs and grime in an old factory in Epuni, Lower
Hutt were the remnants of a brewery left for dead. A
hapless experiment, an abandoned jumble of
mismatched parts, the broken bones of a brewery lay
forgotten. Brought back to life but this time done right.
Abandoned Brewery, a true micro-brewery with a neversay-
die attitude and a deep belief in the craft, an arsenal
of ideas and calm amongst the chaos…this monster
lives - Abandoned Brewery 2017.
