There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. We like to brew things the hard way. The old ways.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. We like to brew things the hard way. The old ways.
We take inspiration from the old world and use it to brew beers in the new world using local ingredients.
North End was established in 2013. A brewer with a background in food teamed up with a pair of restaurateurs to create a local brewery that would help to make Waikanae better. After 2 years of brewing our beer at other local breweries we commissioned our own brewery in 2015 . Since then we have made a host of beers in our little corner of Waikanae.
We’re all about traditional European brewing with a natural twist, foraged locally. Our beers connect you to Waikanae and the Kāpiti Coast’s wild bounty and to the wisdom of the ages. It’s all a bit mad. But good mad. Which we’re proud of and North End fans have come to know and cherish the difference it makes.
Next time you’re on the coast, stop by the brewery and checkout what wild brews we’re conjuring up. Or better yet, sit down and enjoy a cold pint and a delicious burger in our adjoining brew pub – Salt & Wood BBQ.
Inspired by Europe, Fermented in Waikanae.

PLACE
Our brewhouse is an old European style building, where our traditional Belgian and English style beers can feel right at home. It sits on a popular stretch of the Waikanae township, flanked by our sister business, American BBQ joint Salt & Wood. Together we’re a bit of a hit with the locals. We’re honoured to be a source of local pride and do our best to be worthy of it with imaginative use of berries, flowers, natural cultures, and yeasts unique to Waikanae.

NORTH END HOST RESPONSIBILITY POLICYOur brilliant brew crew are avid students of brewing history, with the patience of saints and demonic music tastes. Apparently the slow chugging rhythms of doom metal are essential for calibrating energies with the more laborious traditional processes that yield our premium releases. Well, whatever it takes. There is no detail not obsessed over. No length they will not go to. All night boil? Let’s do it. Mildly dangerous forage? Get my boots. Reggae today? Nope.
