## About

Back in 2010, when planning first started on the Fork & Brewer venue, there were zero breweries in Wellington. Now, there's close to a dozen - and Fork & Brewer was right there at the start of the capital's craft beer boom! Independently owned, and one of three craft breweries which began production in 2012, Fork has since gone from strength to strength, winning the NZ Brewer's Guild Champion Micro Brewery Award in 2024, to add to its Champion Small Brewery Awards two years running in 2018 and 2019.

With Wellington's largest range of onsite-brewed beer pouring from a mind-boggling 42 taps, Fork & Brewer showcases premium craft beer alongside quality food, great vibes and one of the sunniest decks in the city at its brewpub on Bond Street. Our 1000 litre brewery on the premises produces every drop of our award-winning beer range, which features everything from Gold Medal-winning lagers and hazys, to stouts, sours, speciality brews and beyond.

Come and find us upstairs at 20A Bond Street in central Wellington!
