Breweries in Christchurch

Open Brewery DB records 31 breweries in Christchurch, Canterbury Region, New Zealand. By type they include 16 microbrewerys, 8 brewery (closed)s and 6 contract brewerys, with the microbrewery being the most common.

The full list, with the type and address of each, appears in the table below. Details come from open data, so confirm current hours and taproom arrangements with the brewery before setting out.

A concentration of breweries in one town usually means a lively beer scene worth exploring, whether you are after a taproom crawl or a benchmark pint of a style you want to brew.

Visiting and finding out more

31 of these breweries list a website in the dataset, which is the best place to check their current beers, tours and opening times before you visit.

For a homebrewer, a local brewery is a useful neighbour. Taprooms let you taste the styles you are trying to recreate at home, some breweries sell fresh spent grain or even yeast, and many are happy to talk shop or point you towards the local homebrew club and competition scene.

Tasting a fresh, professionally brewed example of a style is the best way to calibrate your own attempts at it, which is why knowing your local breweries is worth the effort.

About this listing

This listing is drawn from Open Brewery DB, an open, community-maintained dataset of breweries around the world. Because it depends on submitted data, a brand new or very small operation may not appear yet, and details can change.
