The brewery grew from a love of crafting fine ales in Queenstown and the Southern Alps.

Inspired by the varied history, wildlife, snow, and peaks of Queenstown and the Southern Alps, the brewery set out to craft something that tasted great and captured the area’s essence.

The brewery and its range has grown up over the years and now produces a wide range of award winning beers across many styles.

Varieties like the Mischievous Kea IPA and Powder Day pilsner are lent their names by the local environment and help Altitude Brewing stay true to who they are. This is emphasized by a donation program that means that part of every beer sold is donated back to local charities.

The next time you are in Queenstown try the mischievous kea.

Named after the most intelligent bird in the world, our native Kea, this is a cheeky, vibrant and characterful beer; just like its namesake. The beer is a complex hybrid, mixing the New World hop-forward and the Old-English toasty and bitter IPA styles.

A judiciously selected blend of four Kiwi hops keep it native. Six different malts and a closely monitored mash schedule give the beer its full and robust body which is needed to maintain balance with the hops. To keep the recipe safe we stashed our only copy in a summit register somewhere in the Southern Alps.
