Celebrating the Craft of Brewing

The Brewers Guild represents all of the breweries in New Zealand.  Its mission is to grow the beer sector through education, communication and celebration.  This website forms the hub of the guild's activities. 

To the public this site forms a valuable resource providing information about beer styles in New Zealand, a directory and map of breweries for those intrepid beer tourists, and an up to date events calendar of 'all things beer'. 

To the breweries this site is a centre for news, education and the means to enter beers online for our annual beer awards, BrewNZ, held in Wellington every August.

For the media it is a source of information on the industry, and the product as well as contact information for the guild as well as providing details about beer events that we and others organise.

New Zealand Draught - A Style or Not?

I have been asked several times recently if I consider the humble draught a genuine beer style. Well, here's my two cents worth.

Wheat - It's not just for bakers

The festive brew is returning to BrewNZ for 2009, and all breweries are invited to enter beers in this category.  Your brew must contain at least 40% wheat in the mash.  There are no further style restrictions but the entry must contain complete brewers notes, giving a full description of the beer.

Brewers in the Aisles

We are currently looking for brewers around NZ to assist with the promotional activity in the run up to BrewNZ and Beervana during the first 3 weeks of August.
