Top Things to do in Canterbury Region
Top 7 Breweries in Canterbury Region, South Island
Christchurch, the Garden City, and the Canterbury region are the perfect destination for daredevils. From northern Kaikoura to Waimate in the south, Canterbury is an adventure sports paradise. Hangliding, helibiking, bungee jumping, snowboarding, jetboating, rafting and skydiving get the adrenaline going. Golfing, flightseeing, swimming with dolphins and soaking in thermal pools are more laid-back temptations. Christchurch, a city of parks and gardens, is the countrys third largest urban area.

1. The Emporium

5.0 based on 32 reviews
There is something for everyone at The Emporium- Our most recent attractions are Escape room games. Themed rooms with clues and puzzles to work through to complete a challenge, you've only got 60mins- can you beat the clock?? (Bookings essential via our website) The 18 hole Mini Golf course at The Emporium is set in a lovely sheltered location away from the road. Recently renovated, this course is a lot of fun for all ages, surrounded by native plants and mountain views. Look out for the resident cat Poppy, she may even help you knock that ball in the hole! The Emporium also has a 4 Tap rigger station selling the latest craft beers produced by Emporium Brewing. The long term plan is to have a full brewery installed here in our warehouse but until that time we will continue to contract brew the bulk of our beers in Christchurch with the exception of a few limited release 50 litre batches brewed on site here in Kaikoura. Pop in for a chat anytime!

Great little mini golf course tucked away behind the Caltex Service Station in Kaikoura. Well designed course with some challenging features, but not too difficult for everyone to enjoy.

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.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 18 reviews
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.
