New Zealand beer-West coast: refreshing!

sillahc2004, Feb 2026
Had a great time learning about history of New Zealand beer history!… The beer tasted refreshing ! We were shown how the factory is set up to brew and then bottle the beer. Afterwards, we were given two options, including a classic beer. I thought that the beer had a great flavor!

We enjoyed our tour....

We enjoyed our tour. Harvey was a knowledgeable and personable guide. It was interesting to hear about the history of the company a the brewing process although no brewing takes place on site. Monteith’s beers are allay good so we enjoyed the samples and the mixed six packs to bring away.

Not worth doing

Not really much off a tour nothing really to see only good thing about it if you paid for full tour you get to get 6 pack off beer but would be cheaper to go buy a 6 pack at the shop so definitely would not be recommending

Great value

Very interesting and informative Host. Great value. No hassles. However, They did forget our Monteiths Passports. Very nice restaurant and very good food.

Best dark beer in the world.

The brewery is a great place to visit with excellent beers on Tap. The lady who did our tour last Wednesday afternoon was amazing. She had great stories about the brewery and westcoast. Down to earth and an all round great person to have a beer with.

Perfect trip

Amazing, we got our complementary 6 pack, and lots of time to chat with our guide, which was awesome. My partner got to have my tasters aswell. Because I don't drink beer, this was an amazing way to celebrate purchasing a home, our engagement and our anniversary as well 😀 highly recommend

Awesome!

James_B, Feb 2020
AWESOME! I finally found a beer I like! The tour was very interesting. Austin did a great job explaining, giving great tips how to make a good beer, and making it interesting. With 3 complimentary beers was a great value too. Would highly recommend!
