We are a small award winning brewery located in the beautiful Hawke’s Bay. We started out as a barebones, backyard operation but have recently moved to our new premises in central Hastings, with an onsite tasting room, cellar door and eatery. We like to think of ourselves as your neighbourhood brewery. We've grown a little, but our ethos hasn't changed. We make quality, flavourful beer and do our darnedest to ensure it's served fresh. Enjoy!

Releasing tomorrow at the brewery.

To celebrate our 12th birthday we’ve gone back to doing what we do best, and what we love drinking most: light, lean and crushable West Coast IPA’s.

With Spring and Summer drinking in mind, we’ve kept this one at the lower end of the alcohol range for a WCIPA. Built on a pilsner malt base, we’ve layered Simcoe through the
boil for a clean, snappy bitterness, then loaded up the whirlpool and dry hop with Mosaic and Krush in various forms for a punch of bright tropical fruit, juicy citrus and a little berry sweetness. A final hit of Columbus Cryo brings some cheeky dankness to round things out, keeping everything nicely balanced and dangerously drinkable.

It’s a good one and we look forward to sharing it with you all tomorrow. 👏🏽

12 years of Brave Brewing Co. 🤎

If only we could tell those two kids what they would go on to build together.

The hugest thank you to our staff (past and present), our incredible customers and anyone who has raised a glass with us, supported us, offered advice and reassurance through the hard times and simply just been a part of the journey.

You have made our business what it is today and we have so much gratitude for you all.
