Our mission for Brew of Islands was to say, “Hey! Come check out some cool stuff we do up here in Northland” as much as we could, so we started with our choice local brewers right here in the backyard – Kainui, Phat House and Bay of Islands Brewing – then running our fingers down the map we knew we had to get in touch with Mc-Leod’s from Waipu and 8 Wired in Matakana – because honestly, we just love what they do.
Then with cap in hand we approached powerhouse Aotearoa brewers Parrotdog, Garage Project, Urbanaut and Cassels – cos why not start at the top right? And what do ya know – they all saw what we were trying to do and came on board.
