In January 2015 we opened our new Brewery and Tasting Room at our centrally appointed location of Ohio Street Martinborough. A contemporary establishment with lots of natural light, exposed concrete brick and a natural wood interior. A viewing window through to the Brewery enables you to watch the beer being made while an outside garden bar is perfectly situated to catch the afternoon sun.
Beers are served in a range of specialty glassware shaped to enhance the flavours and aromas inherent in the variety of craft beers on offer.
The Brewery is boutique in size and is aimed at complimenting the vineyards Martinborough is renowned for.
Call in to see the Brewery team, the Tasting Room is open Thursday through to Sunday from 11am – 8pm (Monday, Tuesday Wednesday 2pm-7pm) and is On and Off licenced. Sit in the sun and enjoy the choice of 8 taps, tasting paddles, wine, cider and a small food menu designed around sharing plates. Our Brewery tasting paddles are popular with first time visitors, consisting of 4 choices of any of the 8 taps on offer, you get the chance to sample a number of options before deciding on your favourite.
At non peak times, table bookings are welcome and brewery tours can be arranged.
Our 8 taps offer a mix of our core range and seasonal brews and a cider tap. Flagon fills are becoming the choice of craft beer lovers, we offer 1.25L plastic, 1L and 2L glass flagons. Alternatively if you already have your own flagon we are more than happy to fill these. Our core range is also available to purchase in 330ml bottles with 4 pack boxes.
A refreshing Golden Ale showcasing only the best NZ ingredients. It's brewed with hop varieties and techniques to deliver a delicate bitterness. Smooth and quaffable, you'll satisfy your thirst and want another.
moreAn IPA made with a combination of NZ & US Hops. Enjoy the citrus notes layered with hints of stone fruit. Then sit back and wait for the bitterness to tantalise your senses and the elixir of hops to cure your ills.
moreA cunning combination that delivers the best of both worlds. This Dry Hopped Red Ale delivers a bold backbone of toffee and caramel fused with tropical fruit. Presented in a deep red hue with a lasting luscious head, it's a foxy wee number.
moreBlack Nectar is an Oatmeal Stout crafted with a blend of dark roasted malts and oats. The dark malts are the hero of this beer, delivering roastiness with chocolate and coffee notes. The oats add body and sweetness to balance the bitterness of this delicious stout.
moreA rich tapestry of dark malts, huge flavour and complexity with a silky smooth texture.
moreA light crisp American Pale Ale punctuated with juicy citrus and tropical fruit aromas. US hops are the hero and allowed to shine off a light pale malt base. Light amber in colour with a moderate bitter finish.
moreOur 2020 Fresh Hop beer is an IPA loaded with freshly harvested Taiheke and some hops grown locally in Martinbrough. It's fruity and juicy with an earthy green hop character.

The ethos at Martinborough Brewery is to produce premium hand crafted beer, using natural ingredients, blended together by people who are passionate about their craft, product and region. The brewery is “micro” in size, producing 1200L batches of beer. Production is a labour of love and hands on process, from the grinding of malts to the application of caps and labels. We intend to expand our capacity and product range over time but won’t be compromising on quality.
