Iznogud Profile

Nice gastropub with several rooms and a nice patio outside. The bar room looks like a proper pub. They have 16 taps of NZ crafts and 3 cask lines. Friendly service and almost cozy atmosphere even in lunch time. I liked this place a lot, well worth checking out if you're in town (which was worth driving from Queenstown).

Taproom inside a brewery made by the book. Bar with lots of the wood on one side of the room, some tables and barrels posing for tables in the main area, brewhouse in the back. There is a terrace outside and a food truck. 14 taps with plenty of different styles. Friendly service. Well worth checking out.

No to big of a taproom with a patio outside. There was some kind of event going on (a wedding?) so the place was full of locals, however we did manage to get a table. 22 taps of their beers, a bit IPA-centric, but plenty of different styles. Good to very good quality wise. If you're in Wanaka this one is well worth visiting.
