Description
The brewery is still a small family run operation and currently employs over 20 people. The business was set up by Shane and Alison Parr, with lots of help from Iain and Anne Reid (Alison’s parents) and Innes Reid (Alison’s brother), but we survive and thrive on the great crew we have working with us.
Our brewing plant capacity has been upgraded over the years and now is now 100 brewer’s barrels (28,800 pints) per week, which allows us to meet demand during peak periods. In 2013 we constructed a purpose built, energy efficient brew house, and we’re always looking for ways to improve our environmental impact by saving water and energy.

Cask pint @ Stonehouse Brewery. Pours a very slowly clearing clear gold, good white collar. Very subtle grapefruit hop aroma. Super soft palate, fresh feel with subtle grapefruit shades. Really decent, easy-going pint.

500ml bottle from Stonehouse Brewery. Hazed gold appearance, small white head. Aroma of fresh moderate stonefruit. Smooth palate, good balanced, sessionable stonefruit character, perhaps a hint of lemon and orange.. not overly pulpy, sweet or fruity, just a really appealing hazy character, soft bitterness.

500ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Opaque deep golden orange appearance, large white head. Vibrant Citra, mosaic and Idaho 7 producing a wide-ranging citrussy character, with light piney moments, alongside a smooth full body, good bitterness rounding things off. Best beer from Stonehouse this year I reckon.

500ml bottle shared with blackhaddock in his beer cave. Relatively clear gold appearance, large white head. Clean citrussy NZ profile, no melon or gooseberry, but lighter citrus flavours coming through. Nice enough.
