Two Thumb Brewing is a craft brewery based in Christchurch, with brew bars at Manchester St, Colombo St, Harbourside (Diamond Harbour), Rolleston and Redcliffs. The brewery's focus has always been good beer and good times, with Two Thumb beers batch brewed by hand to show off the flavours and aromas of locally sourced malts and hops.
The brewery is completely solar-powered, utilises rainwater catchment, and has a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system on site, ensuring the beers are as good for the planet as they are for drinking. Two Thumb produces everything from classic ales and lagers to more experimental and unique brews, and also offers gluten removed beer.
Each of the five Two Thumb venues serves its own food menu, with dishes bursting with flavour and inspired by the local area. Beyond the beer and food, Two Thumb hosts events including Beerfest, fundraisers, keg hire and parties, and beer can also be purchased online through their shop.

Two Thumb beers are batch brewed by hand, designed to show off the flavours and aromas of locally sourced malts and hops. The range spans everything from classic ales and lagers to more experimental and unique brews, alongside gluten removed beer for those who need it.
Sustainability is central to how Two Thumb operates. The brewery is completely solar-powered, utilises rainwater catchment, and runs a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system on site — ensuring the beer is good not just for drinking, but for the planet too.
Two Thumb's original brew bar is on Manchester St in the central city, known for festivals, private events and live music. The Colombo St venue is the brewery itself, with a beer garden in central Ōtautahi where you can grab a pint fresh from the source. Out at Diamond Harbour, the Harbourside venue offers a cold pint and great food on the peninsula, just half an hour from town. In Rolleston, the brewery's newest local pours craft beer for the growing Rolleston community, while the Redcliffs venue sits by the sea — the perfect spot for a cold brew on a summer's day.
Each Two Thumb brew bar serves its own food menu, with dishes bursting with flavour and inspired by the local area around each venue. Menus vary by location, so it's worth checking the specific venue you're planning to visit.
Beyond the regular brew bar experience, Two Thumb hosts Beerfest and can help organise fundraisers, keg hire and parties, making the brewery a option for group gatherings and celebrations.
Two Thumb's beers, including options like Sunshine Hazy, Green Rush NZ Pilsner, Greenland DPA, Ruby Radler, SMASH #3 Nelson Sauvin IPA, Yorkshire Bitter and Milk Stout - Black Forest Rye, can be purchased through their online shop, along with a craft beer gift pack and branded merchandise.
