CIDER MAKERS

Good George Brewing Co.

Based in Hamilton and born out of a friends-and-beer-dream in 2012, Good George Brewing Co. is all about bold flavour and good times.

What started in the old St George’s Church in the Frankton suburb has grown into a full-on brewery, distillery and hospitality venue.

Their ethos is simple: make craft beer, ciders and spirits that are approachable yet distinctive—and never compromise on quality. One of their early guiding lines: “We’ll never give you a shit beer.”

Today you’ll find them pouring at venues around New Zealand, offering brewery tours, and selling a wide range of beers, ciders and spirits.

If you’re looking for a craft brewery with character, local roots and a welcoming vibe, Good George is a solid pick.
