Description
Baylands was started back in 2012 as a small brewery based on Baylands Drive in Newlands, Wellington. The brewery was in a double garage under the house with a 300L system but quickly outgrew that space and moved to Petone in 2014 with a 1200L brewery.
The first Baylands beer was launched at Goldings Free Dive, a popular freehouse dive bar in Wellington in May 2013 and it's been full steam ahead since then.
We now have a 2500L brewery in the heart of vibrant Petone with a large tasting room with 30+ taps of beer, wine, spirits and great bbq style burger & taco menu.

Pretty damn good for a 2,5% beer. decent taste & body this is on my list for Xmas for when i want something that is actually enjoyable to drink but will keep me under the limit. Great low ABV beer!

Can from Beer52. New brewery for me although technically this one has been brewed on their behalf by Fierce Beer for UK market- a good choice of partner though. Hazy orange-gold with great lasting fluffy white head. Aroma of passionfruit, orange, soft malts, pine. Juicy and pithy in flavour with a nice pine and grassy bitterness for contrast. Superb soft mouthfeel. Excellent.
