It started with the sake.
A bottle of Zenkuro sitting on the bar. NZ's only sake, handcrafted in Queenstown from pure Southern Alps water and Japanese rice.
Then came the build. Elderflower for the floral lift. House ginger syrup for warmth. Fresh lemon to pull it all together. A nasturtium dropped over the rim.
The Ginger Sakura Spritz, new on our drinks menu, and already the one people keep ordering twice.
It doesn't need food to shine. The kind of drink you just sit with.
But put it on the table alongside the share plates and something clicks. That clean crisp finish cutting through richness. Floral against spice. Cold glass, warm food, good company.
That's the evening we're building here. Wednesday through Saturday from 5.30pm, Mangawhai.
Come in for one. Stay for two.

We've recently introduced a new Next Level by Turning Point Coffee. A lighter-roast single-origin from El Suspiro, Colombia.
Tasting notes of floral, black tea, blackcurrant and dark caramel.
We're using it for filter, pour-overs and cold brew. If you haven't tried it yet, today's a good excuse.

This is what Friday evenings are for.
Two share plates, two glasses of house wine, $69. Friday is better with the right company, whoever that is for you. A partner, a best mate, someone you've been meaning to catch up with for months.
Settle in, let the evening unfold.

Sapporo is now on tap. 🍺
Brewed in Japan since 1876, clean, crisp, with a light malt sweetness and a refreshing finish. The kind of lager that just drinks easily.
So good we have added this to our happy hour lineup
12.30pm daily and evenings 5.30–6.30pm Wednesday to Saturday.

Winter wellness at Brewed As.
These have been on our shelf for good reason. Turbo Tonic Turmeric Ginger & Lime, Mangawhai Honey, and Magick Brains by Misty Day. A mushroom and herb blend with lion's mane, tremella, cacao and peppermint. Sharp mind, strong body.
Order it as a drink on our menu or grab one to take home from our retail shelf.
And something exciting is coming...

Been on the menu a few weeks and it's already earning its place.. Warmed Vietnamese Duck Salad ..
Tender duck, crispy quinoa, a light zing of chilli, the crunch of bean sprouts and cucumber, sweet capsicum, miso dressing tying it all together, and fragrant Asian herbs grown right down the road at Left Fields in Waipu.
Warm, bright, a little punchy. The kind of salad that doesn't feel like a compromise.
On the menu day and night
Lunch today?

Zero percent. One hundred percent considered.
Introducing the Ginger Hibiscus Fizz. Lyre's 0% London Dry, hibiscus, house ginger syrup, fresh lemon, Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic. Aromatic, refreshing, bright.
The shift is real, more people are choosing to drink less, and we're here for it. Our 0% drinks has had just as much thought, care and craft put into it as everything else on the list.
You shouldn't have to compromise on the experience just because you're not drinking.

Fresh menu. New flavours. Kicking off tomorrow.
New drinks menu is live. Incredible boutique products, small producers, wines you won't find everywhere.
The Damson Plum Amaretto Sour is back but with a twist... Disaronno Amaretto, Damson Plum Liqueur, from the Kapati coast, Starward Two Fold whisky, fresh lemon, egg white, Angostura bitters. Rich, velvety, bright.
And that's just the start. Plenty more on the menu worth discovering.
On the wine side, the Valli 'The Real McCoy'
A skin-contact Pinot Gris from Gibbston, Central Otago. 24 days on skins, aged in seasoned oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Pale peach in the glass, stone fruit and citrus on the nose, silky with fine tannin and a long dry finish.
Come in and explore it

Today we celebrate all the mums, and there are a lot of amazing ones in this community!
The mums, the stepmums, the grandmums, the mother figures who just showed up and never stopped. However, that role looked in your life, today is for you.
A special mention to our own.. Carol and Jenny. Two incredible women who have backed us, believed in us, and shaped everything we are.
Happy Mother's Day from Gareth & Anna xx

Winter has a new breakfast.
We started with the most honest bowl of food there is, and then we made it something special. Oats, fresh banana, maple roasted seeds, raw cacao nibs, coconut chips, a drizzle of organic maple syrup and hibiscus dust.
Built to warm you from the inside out and keep you going all morning
Come in and try it. Mangawhai

The broth has been thinking about you. 🍜
Pho is back this weekend on our day menu, and there's a reason it comes back every winter. It's not just the warmth. It's the way it settles something in you that you didn't know it needed settling.

Winter is coming, and so is our brand new drinks menu. 🍷
A few weeks ago, our management team headed to Auckland for an afternoon tasting with the wonderful people at Great Little Vineyards.
15 years at the forefront of artisan wine in New Zealand, and exactly the kind of people we want choosing wines with us.
We tasted, we debated, we took a lot of notes. Our new winter drinks menu drops in the next few weeks.
Watch this space for some exciting new drops
