Sawmill Brewery

Sawmill is an independent, New Zealand owned brewery run by a small and talented team. They want their beer to taste clean and to honour the ingredients. They are in to making styles that have been around for a long time and seeing how they turn out in their hands, and in our brewery. These beers have a heritage and yet making them up north will always give them an edge. They appreciate their place. This raw landscape has a bearing on everything they do and people here are resourceful, creative and hardworking. They drink this beer so it matters to them what is in it. No sugar, preservatives or colour. All their beer is unpasteurised which means a shorter shelf life and more vibrant flavour. In February 2016 they moved from the original site in Leigh, and they now work from premises just out of Matakana at 1004 Leigh Road in Matakana. In July 2016 they opened the doors to the Smoko Room, a place in the brewery to visit for generous hospitality, food with gumption, 14 beers on tap and a drinks list that showcases organic wines and the best New Zealand producers. They also offer their full range of beer to takeaway as well as flagon fills.
