ABOUT US.

Brewtown Upper Hutt is Wellington’s only craft beer village with a number of great craft breweries and a boutique distillery and within walking distance of the Upper Hutt train station. We’ve got passion for craft brewing and we want to share it with you.

There's been a craft beer explosion throughout New Zealand, and the Hutt Valley is no exception. We've got a long history of manufacturing and innovation, so it's no surprise we have several breweries of our own. What started out as the Dunlop Tyres factory, has now become the hub of Upper Hutt, just 40 minutes from Wellington city.

Look around and you'll see signs of what it used to be. Take a picture with the old Dunlops sign that still sits proudly out front!

Our team have spent years working with crafty brewers and restaurateurs to bring you the best the Wellington craft beer scene has to offer in one place. Award-winning craft beer tastings with food to match? Easy. Guided tours and behind-the-scenes action? Done. Limited edition merch? Of course we have it. Brew supplies? We’ve got ‘em. Custom small batch brews you can’t get anywhere else? Got that too. We’ve even got the gear to set you up on a brew adventure of your own.

Let us craft your perfect trip to Brewtown Upper Hutt where you meet the people behind the brews, hear their stories, and taste the fruits of their labour – figuratively speaking!
