About Craftwork Brewery

Craftwork is a brewing partnership between Michael O'Brien and Lee-Ann Scotti, founded on 24th March 2014. With a 50 litre Braumeister, we recognise that our capacity is ludicrously uneconomic,but we decided to brew ourselves, from grinding the malt by hand to bottling the finished product. The craft work is a joy, and as we are not indebted, we opted to have a legal brewery in Lee-Ann's stone basement. Whilst our inspiration is Belgian, we salute the bold American role models. Where ever possible, we like to source the finest malts and adjuncts, organically and locally . One year on, we have doubled our capacity to 100 litres and we are very pleased to sell to the best outlets in the country : bars , restaurants and bottle stores supporting SOBA. www.soba.org.nz Since June 2022 we now have our own tap room in the Victorian Precinct in an historic building, brewing on a 500 litre Braumeister. 2017 sees our first export to the U.K. and Switzerland. Thanks for your support, Michael and Lee-Ann for Craftwork
