The Emerson's Brewery Battle of the Brewers is back for 2026 - and this year it’s bigger than ever 🍻

Six of Emerson’s brewers are going head-to-head with six unique limited edition b**rs, and your taste buds get the final say. For just $25 you can try all six brews, then cast your vote for the one you think deserves to be crowned - and canned - as Emerson’s next big release.

That’s right. The b**r YOU vote for could end up on shelves across NZ. So this one actually matters. Grab your mates, settle in at the bar, and make it count.

Taste. Judge. Vote. Repeat.

Voting closes at close of business this Sunday, so don’t leave it too late! Have your say at the 🍺

Book your table at: https://bookings.nowbookit.com/?accountid=ffe1a1c4-2e5e-4f54-a0b1-48bb8b667690&venueid=11736&theme=light&colors=hex,ffd180,000000

Have you explored our new menu yet? We’d love to introduce you to one of our new favourite additions: house-made Vegetable Spring Rolls. Crispy and golden on the outside, filled with stir-fried noodles, fresh vegetables, herbs and a warming blend of Indian spices on the inside, and served with sweet chilli sauce. They’re also dairy free, so everyone at the table can enjoy them.

Light, fresh and full of flavour - the perfect snack or entrée as the weather warms up and we start making the most of those longer spring evenings ☀️

Come in and try them for yourself at the .

Mac knows exactly what he wants: your attention and a ball to chase. He's got the energy of a pup half his age and the charm to match - so if you spot him doing the rounds, don't be surprised if he talks you into a pat. Or twelve.

We are proudly dog friendly here at The Little Taphouse and we absolutely love meeting your four-legged family members. So next time you visit, bring your best mate along - we can't wait to meet them!

Exciting news - we have a brand new menu and we think you're going to love it.

We've been putting some serious thought into fresh, seasonal dishes that feel right for the time of year - and as spring arrives and the sun starts making more of an appearance, we wanted food that matches the mood.

One of our new favourites? Freshly baked corn chips with house made guacamole and pineapple salsa. It's fresh, it's light, and it's the kind of snack that pairs perfectly with a cold pint in the sun as we head towards summer 🍍🥑🍺

And that's just one of the new additions. Come in and explore the full menu at your - we'd love to hear what you think!
