Welcome to the Renaissance

Award winning New Zealand craft beer producer, Renaissance Brewing, is situated in the heart of Marlborough wine country at the top of New Zealand's south island. Our aim is to make beers that rival our grape based cousins. 

We produce top end, ultra premium ales that enlighten the palate and thrill the senses. Our beers are made from the pure waters that flow from the southern alps and we only use locally grown hops from our own backyard.   

We do not make sugar water, in fact unlike most commercial beers we only use the naturally occuring sugars from malted barley. We do not compromise on flavour and believe that teaspoons of sugar should only be added to cups of tea.

We invite you to find out more about our beers and the nice people who make them. 

Join the Renaissance and demand more from your beer. 

We've also just launched the Enlightenment range - which will be a series of limited release one-offs, collaboration brews and successful experiments. Release dates as follows:
