BEER.

Just Tastier.

Welcome to Whangamata’s only craft brewery, where the spirit of the ocean meets the art of brewing. Nestled on the pristine shores of the Coromandel, our brewery is more than just a place to grab a flaggon - it’s a celebration of surf culture, community, and the craft of creating exceptional beers. Welcome to the heart of Whangamata’s surf scene, where beer and waves collide in perfect harmony.

All about the beer

All about the beer •

Meet our passionate Founder & Head Brewer, Liam Blunden, the creative force behind the unique and adventurous brews that flow from our small Whangamata-based brewery. A local in this picturesque coastal town, Liam always had a deep connection to the sea and a thirst for innovation in brewing.

Living in Whangamata isn’t just a location for Liam; it’s a way of life. With the ocean as the ultimate playground, they have embraced the local surf culture since their earliest days. Just like riding waves, crafting the perfect brew requires patience, dedication, and a keen sense of balance.
