Born in Rotorua and crafted for those with a thirst for something distinct, Croucher Brewing produces independent New Zealand beers alongside roasted coffee beans such as their Americas Blend whole beans. Founded locally by brewers Paul and Nigel, the operation centres on brewing beers made for sharing, complete with an online shop for bottles and merchandise, and an occasional Flagon Friday delivery service for locals around town.
Independent craft brewing demands a clean balance of malt and hops to create genuine character, and having the production base right here gives Rotorua its own homegrown pour. You will find the brewery base on Lake Road in Mangakakahi, with their full range of craft beers also poured on tap at their affiliated taproom, BREW Bar on Tutanekai Street. Our pick in Rotorua when you want to take home a fresh flagon of homegrown craft beer.
