Inspired by Gisborne’s notoriously long summers and legendary surf breaks, Sunshine is a boutique brewery from the East Coast that celebrates the important things in life: sun, surf, mates and good beer.
Since 1989, we’ve been brewing top-quality beers for top-quality people.

Our manifesto:
Rising from the east
The coast where the sun shines
Where skin peels and hair is salty
Blown by nor‘west winds
We are weather-worn but still smiling
Still wild, still free
No filter, no posers, no bull
We’re out there doing it
Because around here
We follow the sun
Sunshine is a beer for people like us
A beer for whatever you do
Wherever you are
Get out there
