Cassels Brewing Co. launched in 2009 from humble beginnings, created out of a passion for brewing quality beer with the family, and a desire to support the local community.  Their home Brewery Bar based in Woolston, Christchurch became a place for people to come together after the Christchurch earthquakes, creating an environment where people could go to enjoy a good beer and reconnect.  

Since those early days, Cassels has expanded into a globally recognised premium beer brand sold throughout New Zealand.  Best known for their Milk Stout, this tasty brew has become a crowd favourite beating Guinness at the World Beer Awards to be awarded “World’s Best Milk Stout & Porter” at the 2019 World Beer Awards.  Continuing this success, their Milk Stout was also named “World’s Best” in 2020, 2022 and 2023 as well as their American Pale Ale being named “World’s Best” in 2021.

Regardless of their expansion and successes, Cassels has remained true to their roots.  Still family owned and operated, their commitment to quality ensures they continue to produce brews of the highest standard, keeping beer lovers coming back for more.
