About
Hopscotch Beer Company in Avondale has quietly become one of Auckland's most respected independent breweries, earning a stellar 4.9-star rating from locals and visitors alike. What sets them apart isn't just their consistently excellent craft beers—it's their genuine focus on quality over hype. Brewing on-site at 57A Wolverton Street, they've built a reputation for innovative, drinkable brews that reflect the brewing team's passion and creativity. The brewery feels authentically Aucklander: no pretension, just good beer and good people.
When you visit, expect a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that suits everyone from solo beer enthusiasts to groups of mates. The space itself is unpretentious—exposed brick, communal tables, and a real sense of community. Most people spend 1–3 hours here, though regulars often linger longer. The beer selection rotates with seasonal releases, so there's always something new to try. Food options are typically available (check ahead for current offerings), and the team are generous with recommendations. It's perfect for a casual Friday after work, a weekend session with friends, or even a quieter weekday visit if you want genuine conversation without crowds.
Avondale's brewery scene has flourished over the past decade, and Hopscotch sits at its heart. It's close to other local spots worth exploring—great cafés and vintage shops dot Wolverton Street. If you're doing an Auckland brewery crawl, this is a must-stop. Late spring through early autumn (October–April) is peak season, but the cosy indoor setup makes winter visits equally rewarding. Best visited during their regular opening hours; check their social media for any special events or new releases.
