New Zealand's first B-Corp certified Brewery. Independent | Resourceful | Real Our brewing is underpinned by this heritage of craftsmanship and tenacity.
(640)

Sawmill is an independent, New Zealand owned brewery run by a small and talented team. The Brewery was established in 2004 on the site of what was once a local timber mill established in the 1860’s. We appreciate our place. This raw landscape has a bearing on everything we do and people here are resourceful, creative and hardworking. In February 2016 we moved from the original site in Leigh, and we now work from premises just out of Matakana at 1004 Leigh Road. In July 2016 we opened the doors to the Smoko Room, a place in the brewery to visit for generous hospitality, food with gumption, 14 beers on tap and a drinks list that showcases organic wines and the best New Zealand producers. We also offer our full range of beer to takeaway as well as flagon fills.
