Producers of New Zeland's best Craft Beers

New Zealand’s craft beer scene thrives on innovation and local flavour. Altitude Brewing celebrates alpine spirit with bold brews, while Sprig & Fern delivers award-winning, small-batch excellence from Nelson.

Sprig & Fern, Nelson:

Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. is an acclaimed brewery based on Beach Road, Richmond, in the Tasman district of New Zealand.

Led by Master Brewer, Tracy Banner, Sprig + Fern offers a core range of craft beers, ciders and seltzers, many of which have claimed awards at leading competitions nationally and internationally (some on multiple occasions!), alongside regular limited release beers which showcase a range of styles and flavours – whether from the latest specialty malts, new and exciting hop varietals, or innovative brewing methods.

You will find Sprig & Ferns award winning Berry Cider on tap. It’s been a staple that the village has grown to love especially as a key ingredient to our range of Snake Bite drinks. (1/2 berry cider & Altitude Beer of your choice)

The Altitude Story:
Founded in 2013 by a Queenstown local, over the years we have become part of the fabric of our awesome town. We give back to our community through our 1% For the Wakatipu program. We all love what we do and strive to make sure it shows in all aspects of our business.

Altitude Beers:
We brew for the adventurous. 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 locality. We strive to use local ingredients wherever possible and have our own exclusive hop farm to combine with juicy NZ malts.

Altitude 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.

Altitude 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 Wakatipu at your feet, or chill to some beats and watch the brewers at work. We have 12 taps pouring all sorts of different styles of craft beers, ciders and unique beverages. BYO food is fine or we have a full menu for hungry folks.

Stop by for a pint when your in Queenstown!
