Our story began on Christmas Day, 2005. That was when my future wife, Monique, gave me the classic Coopers homebrew kit. Needless to say the beers were awful, but I was hooked none the less. A couple of years later we had moved to New Zealand and I started dabbling more into specialty grains and hops. We brewed our first beer in October 2009 and things went fast from there. In 2011 we received the highest brewing honour awarded in New Zealand as we were crowned Champion Brewery at the Brewers Guild Awards. The past 4 years we have also been featured on the prestigious Ratebeer.com list of “100 best brewers in the World”, as the only Southern Hemisphere brewery. After 5 years of contract brewing, eventually at 4 different breweries across New Zealand we now finally have our very own brewery (In Warkworth, North of Auckland) where we brew and package everything. Cheers! Søren Eriksen and the rest of our awesome little team
