Rhyme X Reason
Wānaka, Aoteroa
The little brewery that cans
We’re a small crew of wacky beatles brewing, packaging and distributing our awesome range of beers across New Zealand, whilst pouring on-site, throwing kick-ass live events and collaborating with our pals around town - all under one roof.
Wānaka brewed craft beers
Our 14 Beer Taps offer all the classics like our Joy Rider - Pale Ale, Black Lips - Porter, Happy Pils - Pilsner and Mt Alpha - West Coast IPA, but we love to mix it up with collaborations, experimental styles and more canned offerings in the fridge too.
Fresh hops, habanero saisons, coffee IPAs, fruity sours, rice lagers… When it comes to craft beers, there’s not much we won’t try!
We also offer a local wine list, NZ ciders, a range of bar snacks and a great range of different merchandise.
While we excitedly await a new food truck - opening May 2026 - we will be serving up our usual bar snacks and TV dinners. During this period feel free to bring your own takeaway food into the brewery to enjoy with a brew. Hangry customers is the last thing on our wish list!

Food
CARBON - our in-out-of-house food truck. Wānaka reknowned chefs meet texas bbq, paired with an RXR brew - we would like to hear of a more mouthwatering combination.
This is not just any truck, the guys at Carbon smoke their prime cuts in their on-site woodchip smoker. They have a number of offerings and sides for all to enjoy. Come down to the brewery to try it out for yourselves!
