Craft beer is more popular than ever, and for good reason. Smaller brewers can experiment with different styles, unique hop combinations, and get creative with additional ingredients. It’s said there is a craft beer for everyone, if you haven’t found it yet keep looking!

Burkes Brewing Co was born here in the Legendary Mackenzie. From humble beginnings in a Twizel garage, Burkes Brewing Co has gone from strength to strength.

They recently won the ‘Champion NZ Beer’ at the 2021 Brewers Guild of New Zealand Awards for their Unforgiven Porter. Burkes have a wide range of quality beers available in several styles, and you can find them on tap in various locations across the Mackenzie and beyond.
