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:

• Kegging and Botting on-site 
• Bottling line can package 4 pallets a day of 330ml or 500ml bottles
