Founded in 2014 by brothers Geoff and Clayton Gwynne in the coastal settlement of Waipū, this Northland brewery has earned a stellar reputation for its dedication to quality and craft. The brewery is driven by the expertise of head brewer Jason Bathgate, whose innovative approach has brought numerous awards and accolades. The distinctive artwork by Grammy-nominated artist Sarah Larnach adorns their cans, depicting Northland’s idyllic coastlines in a nostalgic style. This artistry, combined with Northland-inspired brews like the Smugglers Bay collection and the Far North Chili Pils, underscores the brewery's deep connection to its locale.
