Hallertau Brewery & Restaurant – Kumeu (Auckland)

Wondering what to do this weekend? We love the beers at Hallertau! Why not enjoy a Hallertau Session IPA at this West Auckland Brewery in the casual subtropical beer garden? Maybe order a Pizza from the stone grill too?

The Hallertau Brewery & Restaurant was established with the vision to create a community-focused venue offering quality craft beer and delicious food. Since its inception, it has become a staple in the local scene, attracting patrons with its unique blend of hospitality and craft brewing expertise.

Beyond the Session IPA, Hallertau offers a wide mix of craft beers. Popular choices include the Luxe, a full-bodied lager, and the Statesman, an American pale ale. Seasonal brews frequently feature, ensuring there’s always something new to taste and enjoy.

Look out for a DJ or some live music on a Sunday. There’s also a play ground on site to keep kids distracted if you are looking for a place that’s family friendly.

For families visiting Hallertau, a range of children’s meals is available, each thoughtfully prepared to suit young palates. Special family events, like craft afternoons, ensure kids not only stay entertained but also enjoy memorable activities while parents relax.

For those who are wondering, what does the word Hallertau mean? The answer is; it’s an area in Bavaria, Germany (Holledau). One of the largest hop planting areas in the world. It’s said this area produces around one third of the worlds hops!

Hallertau here in Auckland would say “Hallertau is a place that brings people together: along with the carefully selected combination of the finest hops, malt, yeast and water, it’s ideas and stories that are all heaved into the mash tun, and you can taste this liveliness in the beer”.

The beer garden at Hallertau is a lush oasis with ample seating among tropical plants. Casual yet lively, it provides a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The garden’s design encourages mingling, making it a go-to spot for friends to gather and unwind with an excellent pint.

Hallertau is committed to sustainability, sourcing hops and ingredients locally where possible. This approach not only supports regional producers but also ensures a fresh taste that reflects the best of New Zealand’s natural resources in every pint.

We think come and try it, a beer tasting paddle is a good way to start and but you can be the judge.
