Cheers to the team at FreshChoice Westport for getting behind local products.

Great to be on the shelves there.

We haven't changed the price of our rigger fills since we launched, and we don't plan to change any time soon.

For us it's important that you can get great, locally made beer, at a reasonable price. That means Kiwi Dark, Clear Sky Pils, Breezy Pale, and Buller Draught are all $20 each, fresh from the tap. Every fill gives you a loyalty stamp too.

We have riggers for sale ($2 with your first purchase) or you can BYO.

Buller Draught is fast becoming a favourite with our locals. It's a bit more robust than the classic NZ pub beer, but still easy going.

Check it out at Nourish Reefton & Wilson’s Hotel next time you're passing through Reefton (or if you live there, you probably already know!)

We are closed today for Kings Birthday.
Open Tuesday 4pm - 5.30pm happy hour.
Kitchen ready to serve at 4pm.
Come in and try out newest beer from Shortjaw, brewed in Westport. Buller draught, made in Buller for Buller.
Keep our country working, keep our region working.

Cheers to Hoppiness.co.nz for the kind words about our Fresh Hop Draught. We really loved how this one turned out.

We are pretty much out of kegs, but have a few cases of cans left. So get in quick via our website if you want a taste (or [email protected] for wholesale inquiries).

We're excited to launch the first ever Shortjaw Brewing Indoor Plant Swap.

Bring your unwanted (pest free) indoor plants, spares, or cuttings, and switch them out for something fresh. Potted or unpotted. It's up to you what you bring to swap.

Want to sell your plants with a stall? Email [email protected] to register with a small fee.

Don't have plants? Make a small cash donation on the day.

Please be respectful of each others offerings. Nothing illegal please.

May 31, 2pm, Shortjaw Brewing.

This Sunday we're headed out to The Star Tavern - Cape Pub for a Sunday session, featuring music from Westport Band Waiata.

If it's sunny, we'll be in the beer garden pouring some beers, but if not, we'll head inside with some giveaways. Either way it'll be a fun way to spend your Sunday arvo. Join us for relaxed Sunday to make the most of your weekend.
