The Occasional Brewer

The Occasional Brewer is a Brewery and Bar where you can brew your own craft beer, sample on site, or grab beer to takeaway. Chill and enjoy.

Bring your mates and craft your own 40 litre batch of beer with help from our expert brewers from just $159. The Occasional Brewer provides the brew space with state of the art equipment, top quality ingredients, instructions and professional support so you can brew your own craft beer as good (sometimes better) than you buy at the shop or pub. The brew takes around 3 and a 1/2 hours. You leave it

We have 16 taps here at the OB and they are not only for filling pint glasses, but takeaway riggers too!

At the OB we want to make sure we have a drink for everybody.

Introducing, Zeffer 0% Crisp Apple cider!

Perfectly crisp and dry, and with zero alcohol content, you can enjoy these without missing out AND without a headache the next morning! Come down and try it for yourself.

26/05/2022

Wonder what’s going on here?!

This is a part of our hands-on brewing experience, called ‘mashing in’. In those containers are malt and other grain starches. While you mash these into hot water, soluble sugars and proteins are released. This creates a sweet, fermentable liquid called wort, which is then boiled, hopped, and fermented to create a delicious beer🍺

Want to try it for yourself? Book online now to brew 40 litres of your own craft beer.

Looking for a spot for after-work beers on this rainy Welly Friday? Come down to the OB to try one (or a few!) pints of our rotating line-up of 16 craft beers.

We have a new addition to our taps here at the OB! A dedicated Nitro tap that’s designed to deliver a smoother and creamier mouth feel than traditional CO2 taps. A pint poured from this tap will have a velvety head and a delicious, fuller flavour. Get out of this cold weather and cosy up with a pint of nitro stout to try it out!
