Beers from New Zealand’s Garage Project have arrived in the UK, and they are being launched at special events around the country tomorrow (Saturday).
Garage Project is an independent brewery based in Wellington. They’ve chosen 19 beers to showcase great New Zealand ingredients, their distinctive brewing personality, and their favourites.
The line-up includes popular brews like Pernicious Weed and Pickle Beer, craft non-alcoholic Tiny But Mighty, and a selection of bottles from their internationally-awarded Wild Workshop mixed-fermentation site. The full line-up can be seen here.
After tomorrow’s launch, the beers will be available on shelves nationwide. There’s a list of locations here.
Garage Project beers occupy 36 of the top 50 spots in NZ’s top-rated beers on Untappd, including all 10 of the top 10. Beyond New Zealand, the brewery recently landed at number six worldwide in the Untappd Community Awards.
They’ve been pouring at the annual Firestone Walker Invitational in California since 2014 (they won people’s choice a couple times), and recently presented their industry-leading Hāpi Research work on hop thiols in NZ varieties at the Craft Brewers Conference, in Philadelphia.
The brewery has medalled at the World Beer Cup six times over the years, including winning New Zealand’s first ever gold at the most recent staging. And one of their beers received a bronze medal in the 2026 Brussels Beer Challenge — the first non-Belgian brewery to do so in the old-style gueuze-lambic category.
