Whilst technically Auckland, it certainly feels like sunny (and humid) Northland here at Sawmill Brewery. Sawmill Brewery began its journey in 2004, establishing itself with a commitment to quality brewing and community engagement, quickly becoming a local favourite.

As can be seen in the photos, they brew their own beer here, so it is fresh on tap. Their lineup includes a crisp Pilsner, a hearty Red Ale, and seasonal brews that reflect local flavors, ensuring there’s something for every palate.

The smoko room and outdoor area is where you can enjoy your freshly brewed beer and light snacks from the menu, and even has a fresh smoker running outside. The menu offers delights like smoked lamb shoulder and locally sourced cheeses, perfectly complementing the array of beers available. Sawmill Brewery is dedicated to sustainability, utilising solar energy and sourcing local ingredients to reduce its environmental footprint.

With happy hour running from 3-6pm everyday, it’s a great time to come and relax in the sun. Conveniently accessible with ample parking, the venue is wheelchair-friendly, ensuring a welcoming experience for all visitors.
