A WEEK LONG KIWI CELEBRATION DURING NEW ZEALAND BEER MONTH!

Waitangi Day is the national day of New Zealand and marks the anniversary of the initial signing – on 6 February 1840 – of the Treaty of Waitangi, which is regarded as the founding document of the nation.⁠

We’ll be highlighting Moonwake beers made with NZ hops, brewed by our Kiwi head brewer and co-founder. We also have our exclusive Kiwi Sour that is launching at the taproom, with live music to accompany the festivities. All joined together by amazing kai (food)!

8TH FEB - 7PM: WAITANGI DAY CELEBRATION
