Pomeroy's Craft Beer Appreciation Sessions

Craft Beer New Zealand

December brings the return of our famous, "Craft Appreciation Weeks". We've picked three of our favourite breweries to help you celebrate the end of a, ahem, tumultuous year!

Tuatara : 3rd Dec - 9th Dec
Wellington's most established craft pioneers, Tuatara's passion for flavourful beers combined with their consistency makes them an irresistible choice time and again.

With the heat on the rise how about an $8 pint of some of their finest brews!

The Last Zombie Celebration

This Wednesday, the 21st, the Beer Baroness and Epic beer Luke are putting down a collaborative special brew at the Four Avenues Brewing Co. To mark this rosy occasion, the last keg of Epic Hop Zombie in CHCH will be popped and drained. First in first served.

Christmas at Pomeroy's

We're starting to get inundated with enquiries about having your Christmas function at Pom's and what Victoria's Kitchen is offering for groups.


So this year we are offering two set menus and then for smaller groups there's our fantastic regular menu (which can be viewed here).

My Quick Thoughts On Wellington

Beervana & New Zealand Beer Awards 2012

Just thought I’d share some brief notes about my time in Wellington. For the second year I helped Craig “BeerNZ” Bowen with  the logistics of judging over 450+ entries. The good news is judging went smoothly and I have to tip my cap to him and all the judges. Like last year, some amazing beers medalled - and some really amazing beers didn’t such is the nature of judging I suppose - but overall the Awards was another successful chapter in celebrating New Zealand brewing.

Congrats To Harrington's - Champion NZ Brewery 2012!

Harrington's - Champion NZ Brewery

Pom’s sits on the site of the historic Ward’s Brewery and prior to our occupation it was the home of Harrington’s Brewery. Founded in 1991 by John Harrington, they have grown from a 1000L brewery to become Christchurch’s oldest and largest brewing and bottling company.
At the Brewers Guild of New Zealand Awards they took out the supreme award, the Champion Brewery of the country for 2012!

Golden Eagle and Raindogs Brewing - Craft Beer Tasting

Yeastie Boys Tasting Pomeroys

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the first Pomeroy's Tasting evening is in the books. Kicking things off with the esteemed Yeastie Boys as we did in 2011, 85 people poured into Pom's for an evening full of genre-bending flavors, distributor jibes, peat monsters and houndstooth pants.
