The 5 Best Breweries in Christchurch, South Island

At Three Boys Brewery we personally tend each small-scale brew, right from selecting the best malt and hops until it leaves the brewery. Our beers are a living product; not filtered and not pasteurized - just as nature intended. Our aim is simple: finest quality beer, finest possible taste. Our beers are brewed, bottled, and canned on site so you can guarantee quality and freshness every time.

Our passion for great taste and a quest to find the best local ingredients available have culminated in a range of beers that truly reflect the very best in New Zealand produce. Our products are entirely hand crafted using traditional skills and techniques. The skill of our master brewers, the quality of our local ingredients, and a continual quest for perfection are what give our beers their distinctive freshness and character. None of our beer is filtered or pasteurised. We believe that the most important ingredient in our recipe is time. Our brews are left to naturally clarify and for flavours to develop. We brew in very small batches to ensure continual freshness at the point of sale. We take exceptional care from grain to glass to make sure to finished product is as perfect as it possibly can be.

Founded in 2010, Eagle Brewing NZ is an award-winning micro-craft-brewery located inside the Port & Eagle Brewpub in Kaiapoi.

In 2012, Harrington's Brewery took out the Brewer's Guild Grand Champion New Zealand Brewery award. A testament to the skill and craft of Harrington's hard working brewers. The award was nice after a tough few years following Christchurch's earthquakes.
