Our humble Auckland brewery is home to an absolute legend of a brewer. Paddy Molloy is our in-house brew wizard. He has years of experience getting his hands dirty with beer, and his mission with us is to show Auckland that even a small brewery can smash out some big flavours. Join us every Wednesday at 3pm for a Brewery Experience to find out more, or give us a bell anytime to organise private group bookings.

The new wing of our award-winning brewery in Freemans Bay is taking bookings and walk-ins for good old fashioned cuts and shaves. Our barbers pay keen attention to the finer details, adding a personal touch to make sure every hair is in place while you sip at the sweet nectars brewed right next door.

Get involved at Sweat Shop with an honest recipe for a bloody good night. Fresh beer straight from the in-house brewery, taps on rotation, a mouth-watering menu of smoked meats and hearty feasts, a crowd of keen Aucklanders and live music as the backdrop. Check back here every week to see who's on stage next.
