The farm is situated in the freshwater catchment for Lake Taupō and is farmed in a sustainable way which helps to protect this precious water resource.

It just seemed like it could be a good fit to have a go at brewing beer from this pristine water. The idea became a reality and a small, talented team craft each batch of beer with the water sourced from the aquifer which is directly beneath the brewery.
