Our humble Auckland brewery is home to an absolute legend of a brewer, Paddy Molloy, 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. Enquire Here.

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.

We’ve got what you can’t get at home this rugby season, including the chance to win a huge $10,000 Joylab Rewards Dollars.

Each day you visit a Joylab establishment during this rugby season (20 Sept and 02 Nov) gets you one entry into the draw – just make sure you swipe your registered Joylab Rewards Club card to be eligible. Learn more or sign up to Joylab Rewards below.

The Beat Council is Auckland's authority on live music. Week in, week out, The Beat Council delivers a two hour genre mashup spanning 40 years of music hits that translates into a lot of head bopping and foot stomping on the heaving dance floor - a truly unique and entertaining sound unlike any other to be found in Auckland.

Over the years, The Beat Council has built a solid and loyal following that leaves queues out of Sweat Shop's door so, if you want to be sure to catch them in all their glory, make sure you get down to Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen nice and early every Friday from 10pm – midnight.
