Kereru Brewing Company Limited
Brewery
👍👍 As an avid craft beer fan prior to my Coeliac diagnosis around 6 years ago, I love Kereru’s gluten free beer range! There are currently four to choose from and each can easily hold there own against non gluten free craft beers. As a bonus their service is great and delivery fast.

👍👍 Hands freakin' down THE best beer I had in NZ. I love a good beer. I love a taproom. I tried quite a many during my 2 weeks in NZ and I was disappointed time and time again to the point where I decided just to drink wine so I would stop the endless cycle of believing NZ beer just wasn't the busines...

Two Thumb Brewing Co. on Manchester
Bar
👍👍 Been meaning to come to Two Thumb for a while and finally stopped in for a tasty beer. I love their kinda vibe - functioning brewery in a warehouse, that has a bar, seating, corner for a band, and some outdoor crates made into seats and tables. There's a food truck too (but I didn't buy food on thi...

👍👍 We booked a table for two on Saturday, they gave us the heads up that a large group was coming in after 6pm so we arrived prior (so no waiting) we were seated straight away and hubby tried their Hazy IPA (yum!) and I had a local Geraldine Humdinger gin (nice to see they support other locals). The fo...

Searchlight Brewery
Brewery
👍 The indoor and outdoor setting make this a great place for a group to socialize. The staff are friendly. We came specifically looking to try their ciders, but there was only one available. The colorful bright atmosphere and IPAs/lagers are worth the visit if those are your jam.

Two Thumb Nelson - The Workshop
Restaurant
👍 Cosy and chill place with a good tap line and helpful and friendly staff. Reminds me of US west coast breweries/brew pubs. Occasional live music and the rumour has it that the pizza and burgers are great. Makes their own craft beer and has guest taps.

👍👍 First visit to Urbanaut. Didn’t know what to expect and were surprised once we got to the top of the stairs…great open space with random tables and lounge furniture scattered around with the brewery tucked away in the corner.

Kaiser Brew Garden
Bar
🫤 We ordered the calamari, antipasto platter, BLT pizza and fries. The calamari was not even calamari, it tasted like pork belly, it was soaked in brown sugar and maple syrup and other spices completely taking away the authentic calamari taste. The antipasto platter was over priced considering the am...
