About Shortjaw

Shortjaw Brewing is a new team in an old brewery. In 2021 we took over the old West Coast Brewery (Miner's Brewery) in Westport New Zealand. Since then we have set about revitalising the 30 year old equipment, with new recipes and a new approach. Founded by beer writer and author Luke Robertson, and partner Emma Bemrose, we have created a brewery that speaks to locals first. Relocating from Melbourne to Luke’s hometown we teamed up with brewer Marc Gardiner to create three core range beers made using malt and hops entirely from the South Island. You’ll also find a rotating range of taproom beers that celebrate New Zealand’s place in the world of beer, plus a select range of other drinks on tap, including wine, soft drink and the occasional cocktail, made in-house or as close to as possible.
