They also had great pizza--we tried the Classic (3 different meats, mushrooms, onions) and the chicken cranberry brie, which were both delicious.

You should definitely check this place out!

But even with that as the case, I do think most of their beers taste the same. Compared to other NZ beers it seems like Tui is the cheaper everyday beer, there to do the job (Bud Light of NZ?). There to get a large pack for a party and not care about wasting or sharing? I think the atmosphere of the brewery was great, friendly staff with good flight deal; we even got to take home a souvenir glass, but I'm happier to fill it with local beer.

So an interesting concept. A meat lovers dream with a brewery next door…read more The menu is meat, meat ... oh and meat! Everything meaty and very little light or vegetarian or really variety. I had hogget taco and my partner had pork taco. Kinda small, and not presented that well. Meat looked dry. However it was quite tasty but could have had more flavour and the tortilla corn taco an overwhelming taste. Corn and nectarine side salad very fresh and tasty. Although not sure that two thin slices of nectarine really qualify as top billing. Amazing chocolate honey drizzle cake. Mixed messages from staff. Some very nice, some dismissive. So 50/50 on everything. Would go back if friends wanted to but would make that choice on my own.

We stopped and were thankful we did! Zeelandt Brewery prides themselves on traditional styles brewed perfectly. They offer sample tastes for free, plus all their bottles to go. Tom gave us a tour and talk about the brewery and beer. I bought their explorer pack of their 6 main beers, plus 3 special bottles available at the time. These latter ones may rotate, so what you get will depend on what they're making. The brewery is located in a vineyard with beautiful mountains around, they have free parking right outside. Thanks for letting us use the restroom to freshen up as well! Prices are reasonable for the quality of the beer; we also loved the labels!

Can one go to Wellington without going to Garage Project?! We'd heard so much about this well-known…read morebrewery - it was one of our good friend's favorite spots while she lived there. It's quite a hike up from the main area, and all uphill - we opted to taxi up and walk back down. First, the address took us to their production facility so we had to walk a block or so to their taproom. We were expecting it to be much bigger than it was! It's similar to the layout of most spots in Wellington: super long and skinny, with seating along the side of the walkway back, with bar in the far back. For how popular it is, we were so surprised it's this small. We grabbed a table by the entrance and ordered at the bar in back. The guy working the bar was wearing an Iowa Hawkeyes shirt?! It was so incredible, and we had a great chat with him about it. We really enjoyed our beer and seltzer, and liked people watching by the front door and inside. The ambiance is great, with cool edgy decor inside. It's a very hipster energy here - ambiance and guests! We asked about merch, and they pointed us to their brewery/production facility down the block. We went over and they had a good amount of beer and some stickers, but otherwise didn't have much at all for merch. We definitely would have bought something if they had more options!

We anticipated visiting, not just because of the sheer popularity, but because of the fabulous sounding ambiance of the locations-offering 'big brews with low-key vibes'- and this was exactly what we got (& loved). Visiting the brewery 'house' (not the service station)- I immediately fell in love with the artistic graffiti, the hanging beaker bottles of brews (displaying the colors of the beers), the creative beer label signs, and the friendly bartenders. Overwhelmed by taking it all in, the bartenders took the time to talk with me about the brewery, the history, and walked me through a few beer samples to explain their core beer flavors. We tried: -Pernicious Weed a hearty-dry hopped-dank double IPA with heavy but deliciously smooth quality -Fresh Oct 22-smooth, creamy, hazy-with an orange kick -Haze Daze-a blend of well balanced hops, with a nice citra mouthfeel Only woe-why not 5 stars?- no free wifi & the tap water is seltzer water-smoking allowed

During a recent visit I set up a private tour and tasting with the manager Adrian, who gave me more…read moreof his time than I expected. Black Dog is owned by DB Breweries, which means their beer can be found all over New Zealand on draught and in bottles. The benefit of visiting the brewery in Wellington is that it serves as an experimental bar with new and consistently rotating small batches. It's located on vibrant Cuba Street; the brewery is easy to spot along street level, but the main area to sit and drink including the full bar is upstairs. The bartenders are knowledgeable about their beer. Adrian led me through a tasting of everything on tap in an order that kept the palate fresh. We also split a savory meat pie, one a few snacks they have to order. If you're in Wellington and love beer, this is a stop worth your while!

Both the staff and the customers are always friendly (even if like me, you look like you might not belong there). I've never eaten here, but there is some sort of food service. Beer is about as cheap as you can get in New Zealand ($5 handles, around $7 to fill a 1.5 L take home flagon). They make their beer on site (and also wine for Beach House Wines, which they serve by the glass). The ginger beer (also made on site) is superb, if you aren't in the mood for alcohol.
