“Sawmill is an independent, New Zealand owned brewery run by a small and talented team.”

The Brewery was established in 2004 on the site of what was once a local timber mill established in the 1860’s. Our brewing is underpinned by this heritage of craftsmanship and tenacity.

In February 2016 we moved from the original site in Leigh, and we now work from premises just out of Matakana at 1004 Leigh Road.

In July 2016 we opened the doors to the Smoko Room, a place in the brewery you can visit for generous hospitality, food with gumption, 14 beers on tap and a drinks list that showcases organic wines and the best New Zealand producers as well as flagon fills and take away beer.
