GodsOwn Brewery

Fully licenced Brew Pub in beautiful country setting. We have a repurposed 1973 caravan bar and safari dining tent. Enjoy our seasonal beer range and wood fired pizzas in the hop garden. Family friendly, unique NZ experience.

Good beer tasting and a lovely setup. We unfortunately went on a rainy day so the outdoor seating was not as pleasant as if it had been sunnier but service and experience was still good despite weather. We both preferred the Garden of Eden Farmhouse ale best. We also split the Brezel (soft pretzel with olive oil and mustard) and Brew grain crackers and baked Camembert. The crackers and cheese was the BEST! They really use every bit of the grain used in brewing that they can and it is so tasty! Grounds are also kid friendly and we saw plenty of people bring theirs.

Brewaucracy

Come for a visit, take a tour, taste our range, and fill a flagon to take away! Making traditional (and sometimes less traditional) styles with integrity and heart. Our taproom is a space which is an extension of our brewery. It's designed for sampling our beers as fresh as they can possibly be. It's here so you can see where and how the beer you're drinking was made and even talk to the brewer

Reviewed By Kiaoraall - Hamilton, New Zealand

My husband arrived home a couple of years ago and said - there is a tap room opening 2 blocks from work, being a male of a certain age the terms craft beer and tap room were most exciting! This isn't a bar or pub, its really is a proper tap room, you are sitting next to the vats, the brewer himself (or his equally on to it wife) serves you and is so friendly and chatty, my husband says he feels like Norm from Cheers when he pops in, which is now a compulsory Friday after work visit and most Saturdays for lunch at the ever changing food truck. These food trucks offer great variety of cuisines. The drink selection is excellent and ever changing - I know any beer my husband says is great, I will not like, as I don't have a palate for craft beer, but there are so many other options such as guest cider, great wine and non alc. selection - the current Pink Tide brew is something to be tried. I also note very kid and dog friendly. Recommend a visit

Taupo Brewery

Your BREWERY EXPERIANCE is lead by our Brewmaster and describes the evolution of beer, how our beer is made and what makes our SMARTBREW(TM) system the first of its kind. He will also cover how to taste beer and match to food. Irreverent, Irrelevant, Irrefutable, Irrational, Irritating, Irresponsible and Irregular. Expect a politically incorrect view on Brewing and its place in World Peace, Politics and other

Every time I visited this beautiful country, I made certain I would stop in at the Taupo Brewery. During my first visit, 2015, I met the owner. He was incredibly receptive to welcoming me and sharing the Brewery’s history as well as pertinent information about New Zealand. I was fortunate enough to visit the next couple years, and I was surprised when he recognized me. The selection of adult beverages available will cover anyone’s taste, and don’t forget to get some to go! And, the food is made as is the brews, perfectly! Looking forward to my next trip to NZ!

Zeffer Cider

Come visit the Zeffer Cider Taproom & Bar and try everything from our original Crisp Apple Cider to the cult class Apple Crumble Cider to limited seasonal releases. You can fill your own flagon, send cider home or simply enjoy a flight of cider in the sun overlooking our orchard. Help yourself to the delicious selection of deli foods in our fridge and larder to create a DIY picnic or platter.
