Beer for the bold, the audacious & the gutsy

Our belief that authenticity creates a superior beer is heavily rooted in our workplace culture. We have always done things from the Ground Up, and believe that there is no match for the passion and enthusiasm which is spawned when you create something from nothing.

Always move forward, don’t look back. We ask you to take the route less traveled, turn away from the monotony of daily life, open your mind and delve deeper into the world of great beer. We try not to categorize ourselves as ‘craft beer’, we just make beer, and hopefully you enjoy it. We certainly do.

Visit the Ground Up Taproom at 4 Gordon Road, Wanaka. We are open every day from 2pm until Late. Try our own local beer & experimental beers exclusively sold here. All of our beers are available in riggers and we have a wide selection available in 440ml cans for takeaways. Non-drinkers and kids are well catered for and we offer a great local selection of wines. Our winter mulled wine a real favorite.
