OUR STORY

In 2017, friends Hami, Taco, Andrew, and Adam started Lads Brewing in a corner of Taco's garage, initially brewing beer for personal enjoyment and their football club friends. Recognizing their commercial potential, they transitioned to contract brewing at Massey University in 2018. Leveraging their diverse professional backgrounds, they built their brewery, garnering recognition with an award for Best Emerging Maori Business. Despite lockdowns in 2020, they expanded their operations, introduced popular events like the Lads Brew Days, and launched a beer truck named ‘Buck’. In 2022, they fully transitioned into a full-time craft brewery bar, becoming a notable presence in New Zealand's beer market with outlets in several regions.
