## About

Since the early 80s we’ve been challenging the status quo, doing things our own way to produce a range of exquisitely crafted beverages from the finest natural ingredients. Perched at the top of the South Island in New Zealand’s sunniest spot, we utilise the stunning natural resources at our disposal. Our brewers are innovative in their approach, always evolving and pushing the boundaries to create our unique beers, our mouthwatering ciders, and our distinctive range of non-alcoholic beverages. We’re a fairly uncomplicated bunch, driven purely by a desire to produce the most satisfying, flavoursome and original beverages on the market. We've never been afraid to lead the way, and we're proud to say we've always been first in craft.
