Sale St Brewery

‘Handcrafted for you, not beer snobs’

Sale St Brewing was born out of the love of great beer shared by some friends that had all worked together in breweries at some time or other in the past. The brewery was designed with lagers in mind and introduced a number of cutting edge and innovative technologies that would help make a beer unique to the taste buds of New Zealand drinkers.

It is fair to say that we are doing things a little differently with a new beer style in a new brewery but what was also different, is that just like a winery, we wanted the public to come and visit and experience the brewery. Taste, smell & feel the brewery.

So get yourself a beer and sit back and enjoy!
