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.

Walk on in to the new wing of our award-winning brewery in Freemans Bay for a good old fashioned cut or shave. 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 month to see who's on stage next.

Round up the crew for an electric night at Sweat Shop this New Year’s Eve.

With the Sky Tower’s vivid fireworks display illuminating overhead, we’ll put our blood, sweat and beers into ensuring New Year's Eve at Sweat Shop is a winning combo that’s hard to beat.

Raising CID awareness for a mate still in our hearts

The Cardiac Inherited Diseases Group (CIDG) and Tuatara Brewery have been working together for the past five years to raise awareness about the little-known Cardiac Inherited Disease in memory of a Tuatara team member.

Matthew Lang, an Auckland Regional Sales Rep for Tuatara Brewery, passed away suddenly in his sleep in December 20, 2013, at the age of 27 from Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) - just one type of Cardiac Inherited Disease (CID).

Matt loved massively hoppy, Pliny-like pale ales, so each year, close to the anniversary of his death, Tuatara brew the Matt Lang Memorial Brew. Proceeds from the sale of the beer are used to fund further AED’s and distributed by CIDG to children and adults diagnosed with the disease.

This year the initiative has been co-hosted or ‘co-brewed’ with another of Matts employers, Joylab (formerly Barworks), who spearhead some of Auckland’s best known gastrobars. It’s allowed the beer quantity to be doubled, with the hope of increasing the fundraising efforts for this worthy cause.

Joylab’s Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen have wholeheartedly supported this year’s extended reach by hosting the collaboration brew and providing the venue for the Auckland launch.

Purchase the Matt Lang Memorial IPA from Joylab establishments Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen, The Merchant, Moretons, The Elephant Wrestler and The Zookeepers Son while stocks last.
