About Altitude Brewing, in the operator's words
Our Story:
Founded in 2013 by a Queenstown local, over the years we have become part of the fabric of our awesome town. We all love what we do and strive to make sure it shows in all aspects of our business. Now crowned Champion Brewery four times, twice in NZ and twice in Australia, we'll keep the adventure going.
Our Beers:
Queenstown's best brewery delivers a constantly changing array of craft beers that reflect everything from the seasons to the in fashion. Our core range is influenced by our environment and geography. We strive to use local ingredients wherever possible and work with local hop growers to combine with juicy NZ malts.
Our Brewery:
We brew on a 1200L brewhouse that is designed to be wide open for public viewing so you can see, smell and hear the beer being made in front of you whilst you drink it. It's gone through several phases of expansion, but it's still too small.
Our Taproom:
Small and cosy with hands down the best views of any brewery or taproom in the world. Sit and watch the sunset over the Remarkables with Lake Whakatipu at your feet, or chill to some beats and watch the brewers at work. We have 12 taps pouring different styles of craft beers, ciders and unique beverages. Two food trucks on-site provide the delicious kai.
Shop Online:
If you can't make it into the brewery in person, our webstore is always open. https://shop.altitudebrewing.co.nz/
