Townshend Brewery
Motueka
Motueka
Founded in 2005 by Martin Townshend, this genuine real ale brewery is based in the leafy green heart of New Zealand's hop-growing region.
As well as using locally grown Nelson hops, Townshend’s draws from a pure, ancient water source deep beneath Motueka. This aquifer-fed water, combined with world-class hops and a genuine passion for traditional brewing, has helped the brewery earn a stellar reputation, with awards and respect from across Aotearoa’s brewing scene.
Townshend’s philosophy is refreshingly simple. Start with the best ingredients, handle them with care, and you’ll craft something exceptional.
Founder and brewer Martin is a firm believer in doing things the old-fashioned way. “We brew the way people have for centuries,” he says. “We don’t ‘soda stream’ bubbles back into our brews like most places. Our beers develop a natural depth of flavour that only comes from proper fermentation. You can’t fake that, no matter what the label says.”
