Craftwork Brewery

Craftwork is a brewing partnership between Michael O'Brien and Lee-Ann Scotti, founded on 15th March 2014. With a 50 litre Braumeister, we recognise that our capacity is ludicrously uneconomic,but we decided to brew ourselves, from grinding the malt by hand to bottling the finished product. The craft work is a joy, and as we are not indebted, we opted to have a legal brewery in Lee-Ann's stone basement. Whilst our inspiration is Belgian, we salute the bold American role models. Where ever possible, we like to source the finest malts and adjuncts, organically and locally . One year on, we have doubled our capacity to 100 litres and we are very pleased to sell to the best outlets in the country : bars , restaurants and bottle stores supporting SOBA. www.soba.org.nz 2017 sees our first export to the U.K. and Switzerland. Entered Saison Anise and Grisette in the 2015 Australian International Beer Awards, both gaining Silver medals in our first professional competition- happy about that!
