Our Brewery

Located in Blenheim, in the heart of the gourmet province of Marlborough, New Zealand, the Renaissance brewery crafts intensely rewarding ales for the enlightened palate.

The brewery is situated at the old Grove Mill on Dodson St, which is the oldest commercial building in Blenheim.  Over the years it has housed an ice cream factory, a malt house, two very famous Marlborough wineries (Grove Mill and Whitehaven) and more recently a craft brewery.

The brewery is HACCP accredited and has stringent assurance systems in place to ensure product quality.

Here are some quick facts about the brewery:

• 2000 Litre (20hl) brew length
• Annual capacity of 400,000 litres
• Kegging and Botting on-site 
• Bottling line can package 4 pallets a day of 330ml or 500ml bottles
• Equipment likes delicate tender loving care
• Our spent grain goes to feed ducks, cows and sheep

Although we don't have our own tap room, if you are in Blenheim there are some great places for you to experience our beers, some of these are: 

• Gramados - a Brazilian bar and restaurant who are a great supporter of the brewery and have our beers on tap.  They are the perfect accompaniment to feijoada.
• Scotch Bar - great tapas in the heart of town and Renaissance on tap to wash it down.
• Gourmet Collection - a range of Renaissance beers available for sale at Gourmet Collection and also available  in the Vines Village Café.
• Cellar Door Restaurants - Wairau River, Herzog Bistro, Highfield Estate, Rockferry and St Clair Family Wines.
• Grove Town Country Hotel - old school kiwi pub on the road to Picton, serves lots of craft beer and with Japanese food to boot.
