North End Brewery and Salt & Wood Collective
OUR STORY
We’re a small team, producing our beer right out of our brewery in Waikanae, on the Kapiti Coast. Brought to life in 2013 by a trio of kiwis passionate about food, drink and the coast.
What sets us apart?
Producing a range of beers, inspired by traditional European styles, brewed to capture the uniqueness of our land. Taking our name from Kapiti Island, where the aptly named ‘North End’ is most visible from Waikanae Beach; we appreciate local, including this in our ingredients, branding, and brewpub; Salt and Wood Collective, adjoined to the brewery, open all day, serving American style BBQ and North End Brews to dine in or take away.
Most Famous Style?
Super Alpha is a hoppy refreshing pacific pale ale that uses the crisp tartness of wheat malt and a blast of fruity New Zealand hops to create a crisp refreshing beer. Initially designed by Head Brewer Kieran Haslett-Moore to wash the taste of sea water from his mouth after hauling in his crab pot, Super Alpha takes its name from an unusual variety of New Zealand hop that gives the beer its trademark lemon grass character. The ultimate end to a summer’s day. Summer fermented and served in a can or keg.
