OUR STORY
McLeod's Brewery was founded in 2014 by brothers Geoff and Clayton Gwynne, owners of Waipu's iconic Pizza Barn. In 2016, Jason Bathgate joined as Head Brewer, bringing with him a background working for two former championship NZ breweries.
What sets us apart?
Here at McLeod's, 'small' and 'local' go hand-in-hand with quality and variety. This is evident in our winning the Champion New Zealand Medium Brewery 2024 award, adding to our previous win in 2021, and our first-ever Champion New Zealand Beer for Tropical Cyclone Double IPA.
Most Famous Style?
From our year-round range to our mixed fermentation and barrel-aged Smugglers Bay Collection, we make good beer for every palate, every day. Our fans are as diverse as our brews, so our beer is delicious and balanced whatever the style.
