20 Year of Renaissance Brewing

20 Year of Renaissance Brewing

We’ve hit a huge milestone — Renaissance Brewing is officially 20 years old!

From our early days brewing in Marlborough back in 2005, to becoming one of NZ’s pioneering craft breweries, it’s been one hell of a ride. Along the way we’ve brewed some absolute legends — Stonecutter Scotch Ale, Elemental Porter, Hazies, IPAs, Pilsners — and picked up a fair few medals too (including Champion NZ Brewery in 2013 and back-to-back Champion International Small Brewery at AIBA in 2013 & 2014).

At the heart of it all, nothing’s changed: we’re still brewing award-winning New Zealand craft beer with flavour, balance and soul, using local hops and malts, and pushing ourselves to keep creating beers that excite.

Here’s to 20 years of brewing legends — and many more to come. Thanks for being part of the journey.
