Crisp lagers, hazy pales, bold IPAs and experimental sours, all brewed here.

Handpull cask ales

A completely different drinking experience, brewed specifically for a traditional engine.

03

Sunny beer garden

Grass, mountain air, long evenings and an outdoor fire pit as the day cools.

A real fireplace

Post-ski pints by the fire make winter in Queenstown significantly better.

Dogs welcome

Kitchen & games

Solid bites, a shelf of board games and no need to rush.

Every season

Worth the detour.

Summer

Claim a spot on the grass after a day on the trails. Cold pints, long evenings and the fire pit lit as the sun goes down.

Winter

Come in from the slopes and pull up by the real fireplace. Warm, welcoming and always something interesting on tap.
