Harrington's Breweries

Drink global. Think local. Our beer range is global, taking in styles and flavours from around the world. While our outlook is local, supporting regional suppliers and providing honest to goodness, real craft beer at a price that’s agreeable to the hard working folk of New Zealand. A tasty brew for all of you. Whether you’re a crafty newbie or take the time to 'read the beer,' we try to cater for many tastes, palettes, and occasions. Plus of course, there’s the whimsy of our brewers who like to push the boat out to see what delights drift back in on the tide of creativity. Harrington's Breweries was founded in 1991 by John Harrington with a goal of providing alternative choices to the New Zealand beer drinker in comparison to the overpriced, sugary brown ales which dominated the market. In addition, John saw it his mission to take on the big breweries which had a duopoly in the market which meant “choice” was something that Kiwis beer drinkers could only say to one another. John and his brewing team began experimenting with traditional styles of beer that were less available in New Zealand. Twenty-Six years later, a site shift to Christchurch, and this has grown to a range of over fifteen beers, including a range of Ciders that are being enjoyed up and down the country.
