About Us
Champion New Zealand Medium Brewery
We're a locally owned, second-generation brewery born in the Bay and built for beer lovers across New Zealand. Since 1996, we've been brewing bold, high-quality beers that capture the spirit of Mount Maunganui and now flow far beyond it.
We're incredibly proud to have been named Champion New Zealand Medium Brewery 2026, recognising over 30 years of brewing quality craft beer. Alongside the Champion Brewery title, we were honoured to receive two trophies, five gold, four silver and two bronze medals at the New Zealand Beer Awards, a reflection of the passion, creativity and craftsmanship behind every beer we brew.
Our core range is the backbone of Mount Brewing Co, clean and consistent. From crisp lagers and easy-drinking pale ales to hop-forward IPAs and rich stouts, we brew something for every taste. These are the beers that built our name locally and now keep fridges and taps stocked across New Zealand.
Then there's our seasonal lineup, where we push boundaries and turn up the creativity. Small batches, big ideas. Unexpected flavour combinations, fresh New Zealand ingredients and limited releases that keep things interesting for craft beer lovers.
Every drop is brewed and packaged right here in Mount Maunganui using the freshest ingredients and a relentless commitment to quality before making its way to bars, bottle shops and beer lovers nationwide.
The best way to experience Mount Brewing Co is at The Rising Tide, our brewery taproom in Mount Maunganui, where you can enjoy award-winning beers fresh from the source alongside great food and good company. Or, if you're further afield, our full range is available online with nationwide delivery.
Whether you're searching for award-winning craft beer, planning a visit to one of New Zealand's leading independent breweries, or simply looking for your next favourite beer, welcome to Mount Brewing Co.
Mount-made. NZ-wide. 🍻
We’re living in paradise,
crack open a can and enjoy it with us!
