THE STORY

Giant Brewing is an independent, locally owned and operated brewery and public house that began as a small side project involving two brothers and a mate in 2014.

The business was trialled in an old barn at the foot of the “Sleeping Giant” Te Mata Peak. Once compliance formalities were completed, we whole-saled out of a couple of different industrial spaces before creating a licensed premise near the Havelock North village centre with room for 100-plus.

We don’t package the beer into bottles anymore, but keep photos of them up for nostalgia.

THE BEERS

Beer Tap Menu

The Giant Public House is a modern interpretation of a classic institution, with a small brewery down the end where beer is made and rolled in kegs into the chiller.

We have a great selection of wines, spirits, cocktails and non-alcoholic options, along with an ever-rotating list of guest beers.

After years at the current site, it has become an institution for a lot of locals and is very family friendly.

Coming into the game with an extreme lack of hospitality experience, the decision was made to pair up with people who know what they are doing in the kitchen – hence Gina’s takes care of the food.
