## About

For over a hundred and fifty years Skippers Canyon has been the place people come to do grand, glorious, brave and ill-advised things. We thought it was high time someone tried doing something cold, tasty and delicious. 

Canyon is an award-winning craft brewery in Arthur's Point, Queenstown. We love fresh ingredients with no artificial nasties and the purest mountain water right out the front door. 

Fall off a bridge, raft unchartered waters, flip into some backcountry powder pits and pour a tasty Canyon brew.

Here's to the bold, the brave, and the plain old stupid.
