Martinborough Brewery
Martinborough Brewery produces premium hand-crafted beer made by two friends. Hayden Frew and Stephen Fox met at Otago University, but their taste in beer has moved a world away from pints at the pub. Today, their focus is quality and flavour. Each small batch is a labour of love - even the capping and labelling is hands-on.
Try the Hop Elixir, Black Nectar stout or Foxy Red ale - they taste just as good as they sound.
