Really sad to hear the news of Ashly aka passed away recently.

Condolences to her family, friends and all those who knew her.

I took this pic of Ashly while on a tour with me last year. If you followed her you knew she loved a good brew.

Grab a beer tonight and raise a glass for Ashly. Gone too soon.
🙏🍻

Nothing better than hosting groups wanting to try something new and having them walk away as new beer fans! 🤘🥇

If you think you don’t like beer, it’s probably because you haven’t tried the right ones.
Join one of our tours and let us introduce you to your next favourite beverage! 🍻

Q. “What does VIP/Backstage pass actually mean❓”
A. Being hosted by a brewery crew member and getting to visit and do things you couldn’t do unless on one of tours.
For example, being shown the Brite Tanks and getting to taste a brew fresh from the tank! ❄️🍻🤤✅

Beers in breweries taste so much better when you enjoy it with the owners. 💯

Join us on a tour and you too could experience how good that tastes. 👍

I’m not sure who enjoyed todays tour more, me or these awesome humans. 🤔

The weather in Welly might have been average today but the company was awesome so was the hospitality from Fortune Favours Whistling Sisters Brewery and Fermentery and Fork and Brewer 🙏

27/07/2022

How we roll. Pour, seal and label any beer in a 946ml can and take it home! 💯

Join us on a tour and like Josh here you could be behind the bar enjoying your own exclusive “Cannon Experience”.
🤙🍻

Glass is good. Amber glass is better. From arguably the most sustainable brewery in New Zealand. 💯

Glass is good. Amber glass manufactured and recycled in New Zealand is really good.

Our glass bottles are made in New Zealand. Of all the types of glass, amber has the highest recycled content. According to our supplier Visy, the recycled content of our amber 500ml and 330ml bottles averaged 76% in 2020. Good, but lower than it could have been because of less recycling during Covid.

The best things you can do is make sure glass goes in the recycling bin, and the bin isn't contaminated with things that can't be recycled.

23/07/2022

Good people = good tours. 💯

Micayla wanted to do something special for Josh so, booked a private brewery tour for his birthday.

How good⁉️⁉️⁉️

Birthday beers creating brilliant birthdays since forever. 🎂🍻

Thanks to and for being awesome hosts. 👏

22/07/2022

Congrats to all the winners last night at the awards. 👏
Big shout out to the crews we work with and our wider Wellington mates! Well deserved everyone! 🍻

No/Low alcohol beers. My thoughts, whats yours?

https://www.craftbeertoursnz.co.nz//blog/low-alcohol-beers-whats-your-thoughts

21/07/2022

“I can go to that brewery by myself” Yes you can but, can you do this❓
• meet with the owners
• learn from the brewers
• taste beer fresh from the tanks
• get VIP behind the scenes access
• go behind the bar, pour, can and label any beer to take home

Points of difference is what we do. Our exclusive, all inclusive tours start at just $145.

We’re all about keeping the team as safe as we can through;
• vaccinated crew
• smaller group sizes

• the van being sanitised/cleaned before every tour. 😷

We can guarantee you will not encounter any Corona’s 🍺 on our tours. 💯

Brewery tours = the new winery tours.
🍷👉🍻
With an emphasis on beer education and what it can be, we’re noticing more ladies enquiring about our tours.

One of our favourite beer hops is one of the many reasons why. 👇
“Named to honour its home, Nelson Sauvin hops have a similar flavour profile to the equally “made-famous-by-New-Zealand” Sauvignon Blanc wine grape. Passion fruit, gooseberry, peach, and lime flavours abound. Indeed some brewers say they can detect hints of Kiwi and Passionfruit”.

Check out our website in bio for more details about our tours and discover a world of beer you never knew. 🍻
