About
BEERS by Bacon Brothers, located at 477B Blenheim Road in Sockburn, Christchurch, is a craft brewery and bar that's earned a stellar 4.7/5 rating from over 1,200 Google reviews. Born from the passion of two brothers, this venue has carved out a reputation for honest, flavour-forward beers that reflect New Zealand's craft brewing culture. Whether you're after a crisp lager, bold IPA, or experimental seasonal release, the brewery's rotating tap list showcases both their own brews and carefully curated selections from other local producers. The space itself balances industrial brewery aesthetics with genuine hospitality—think exposed brewing equipment, timber finishes, and a relaxed vibe that feels authentically Christchurch.
Visitors can expect a welcoming atmosphere suited to couples, groups, and solo drinkers alike. The bar staff are knowledgeable without being pretentious, happy to guide you through the menu or discuss brewing philosophy over a tasting paddle. Most people spend 1–3 hours here, whether grabbing a quick drink or settling in for a longer session. Food offerings are solid (their bacon-themed offerings are a cheeky nod to the family name), and the space caters well to both casual drop-ins and planned visits. It's worth noting that weekends get busy, so arriving early or mid-week guarantees a more relaxed experience if that's your preference.
While technically in Sockburn rather than central Auckland, BEERS fits naturally into a wider Christchurch brewery tour—the city has a thriving craft scene worth exploring. It's particularly rewarding to visit during spring and summer when the outdoor areas are most pleasant, though the indoor bar is cosy year-round. For those seeking authentic, locally-owned places to eat and drink in New Zealand, this brewery represents exactly what makes Christchurch's food and beverage scene distinctive.
