On my return to New Zealand many years ago, after living and home brewing in the US, I set out to get involved in home brewing in New Zealand. I found it extremely hard to get hold of any information about home brew clubs, or home brew competitions. Either there weren’t many home brewers in NZ or they were all hiding.

After a long (beyond the efforts of any ordinary human) search and visiting many local home brew shops I discovered there was a community of brewers out there but getting in touch and getting involved was difficult for the average home brewer.

Now we have created an area on line where everyone interested in home brewing in New Zealand can visit to find out where their local home brew shop, and club are. You can become a member of the online community to share knowledge and ask questions. Plus you can let other home brew friends that this resource is available online.

If you know of a homebrew club, home brew shop or some home brew resource whether it be online or in the real world, which we haven’t highlighted in this section please contact us (info@homebrewer.co.nz) and let us know. We are striving to make this an ever improving online resource for beginning and advanced home brewers.

Cheers
