How we started

Sprig + Fern Brewing Co. started in sunny Nelson-Tasman, supplying the original few Sprig + Fern Taverns with a range
award-winning beer and cider, and has steadily grown from there.

country.

What sets us apart
Our Master Brewer, Tracy Banner - known as the 'Mother of NZ Brewing' - has more than four decades in the industry, an
respected national and international beer judge and mentor. Safe to say she knows her way around an award-winning brewery.
 

Alongside a core range of tried-and-tested brews, you'll find regular limited release beers making their way to taps and s
which showcase a range of styles and flavours – whether from the latest specialty malts, new and exciting hop varietals, o
innovative brewing methods.

As for Sprig + Fern Taverns, while they vary in shape and size, they’re all cosy, family-friendly and welcoming. We deliberately have no TVs, no pokies and no pool tables, so there’s no distractions from great conversations – nor from the award-winning craft beer and cider, local wines, spirits, soft drinks, meals and snacks.

​

Most famous style

That depends who you ask! Our most-awarded beer is The G.O.A.T Doppelbock, having won numerous national and inte
beer awards including a recent Best In Class trophy at the Brewers Guild of New Zealand Beer Awards. The G.O.A.T typical
an appearance in winter, either in cans, bottles, or on tap at Sprig + Fern Taverns.
 

For all other times, you can't go past a proper pint of Fern Lager or Tasman Reserve - both staples of our core range, and
customer favourites.
