Brewed, Roasted & Distilled: Porirua's Craft Beverage Scene

Steel drums making beer in a brewery.
When a strong sense of community is woven across a little slice of paradise, creativity, ambition, and success are practically inevitable. Maybe there's something in the water at Tītahi Bay, or perhaps there's magic in the forest above Moonshine and Kenepuru. Or maybe, more simply, it's the fact that you can launch a dream without the overheads of a big city and be backed by an ever-loyal and supportive community all the way. Whatever the reason, Porirua is a haven for craft beverage makers: roasters, brewers, and distillers who've made the most of unique premises and settings to grow and thrive while always giving back.

For a brand that’s all about minimising its impact on the environment, Little City Kombucha is certainly making a splash from its very own slice of Porirua.

Tītahi Bay is a thriving, buzzing corner of Porirua, thanks in part to The Beer Engine for helping to power it forward.
