Right in the heart of NZ’s coolest little craft beer capital lies an inner city suburb called Te Aro. It was there nestled in the back of Brewtopia Home brew Supplies that Te Aro Brewing Company was born.

Stewart Gebbie’s passion for great beer and Karl Hayes’ ability to make it should have been a match made in heaven, but despite meeting and becoming mates sometime last century, Karl and Stewart didn’t start Te Aro Brewing company until 2014.

What started out as a micro brewery and home brew supplies shop has since grown up, and is now brewing on a much larger scale here in Upper Hutt’s Brewtown. The growing range and demand for Te Aro Brewing Co’s beers has meant bigger digs and an exciting tap room on the way.
