Established in 2002 by Kieran McCauley and Belinda Gould, the Brew Moon Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery and taproom in Amberley, North Canterbury. We are North Canterbury's original craft brewery, producing an established range of high quality, popular beer styles alongside a selection of more exotic seasonal brews. Belinda and Kieran have recently been joined in the brewery by their two sons, Toby and Oscar — so the Brew Moon remains a true family business.
All Brew Moon beer is brewed on an 1800 litre brew kit in Amberley, New Zealand. Because we both brew and can our beer on-site, we take responsibility for every aspect of production, from grain to glass.
Small batch sizes also allow us to regularly experiment with exciting new seasonal brews alongside our usual suspects. Swing by our taproom and brewery in Amberley to experience the full range.
The Brew Moon is 100% owned and operated by the four synchronized drinkers pictured here (who also happen to be family). We are supported by a small and talented local team, to whom we probably owe most of our success.
We sell our beer in the snazzy little cans you see here because it is better for the beer, and better for the environment.
Cans allow our beers to be protected from factors such as light-strike and oxidation, meaning they stay fresher for longer.
Cans also produce around 20% less greenhouse gases during transportation than bottles, and are made of a far higher percentage of recycled materials.
Better beer + better environment = better world.
Our New England IPA with a rotating hop recipe. This iteration is hopped with Hort 4337 and Galaxy; our two favourite Antipodean hops. Fruity, citrussy and juicy.
25% Riesling juice and 75% Pale Ale wort co-fermented. Light and fruity with a touch of sweet and a hint of sour.
Using Hort 4337 and Galaxy like the New England IPA above, this Pale Ale demonstrates how the same hops can be used with very different results. Keeping the same tropical characters, but lighter in body and mouthfeel with a clean, bitter finish.
Gose is a tart, lightly salted style of beer originating in Goslar, Germany. We've taken this traditional style and paired it with peach and apricot, giving a stone fruit character and a hint of sweetness.
Brewed in the traditional English style, this smooth beer is toasty, roasty and deliciously malty. A timeless beer style suited to those looking for a maltier ale but not quite as dark and robust as a Stout or Porter.
A big, bold, concentrated Imperial Stout. Aged 7 months in Pinot Noir barrels giving a savoury complexity alongside notes of coffee, chocolate, molasses and vanilla.
