Craftwork Brewery
Handcrafted Belgian style ales
A small idiosyncratic Belgian-style nano brewery, in the heart of Victorian Oamaru.
Find out about our love affair with Belgium, our traditional brewing techniques, our food and drink offerings at our Tasting Room, and where to buy our beer.
Beers
We have a wide variety of styles, albeit Belgian in influence, simply because we love Belgium, its quirky culture, beers and cuisine.
They are all bottle or keg conditioned (rather than force carbonated), giving a more ‘natural’ carbonation, better flavour, and extending shelf life.
Tasting room
Step back in time and culture to a cosy Brussels cafe circa 1900 located in the heart of Victorian Oamaru.
The pleasant atmosphere makes you forget you're in a brewery rather than a pub or restaurant, lending itself perfectly to slowly sipping an ale, enjoying some specialty bites to eat and catching up with dear ones.
