60 /100 AWATOTO ROAD Other comments below are spot on. Worth a stop if you are in the area and not really into wine. |
54 /100 AWATOTO ROAD If you approach this place as spacious cafe with garden bar where you can get a beer with your meal then your expectations are about right. The tasting trays are a bargain but sadly none of the beers (or ciders for that matter) are anything to write home about. Has enormous potential but the beers are just not that interesting. |
16 /100 AWATOTO ROAD The beer isn’t great, the building is tacky and there’s a great view of the car park. But it’s all Napier’s currently got for a microbrewery. The seasonal wheat beer made the trip worthwhile . |
52 /100 AWATOTO ROAD There’s a lot to like about this boutique brewery on the outskirts of Napier. There’s a comfortable new tasting room with a range of about 10 beers brewed here on draught, plus about five ciders and a couple of alcopops. The staff the day we visited were friendly and enthusiastic. The samplers of six 140ml tasters for NZ$9 are exceptional value. There’s a cafe attached. That’s all the good stuff. The problem is that the beer and ciders are mediocre at best. The fact they produce both of those plus alcopops suggest a business that is hedging its bets. There’s loads of potential here with the right brewer. It felt more like a tourist destination than a brewery. There’s plenty of product available for take-away in plastic bottles if anything takes your fancy. I had a sampler of six and left empty-handed. |
