Start-up microbrewery, Pacific Coast Beverages is set to begin construction of its production facility on the coast of the Mangawhai Harbour.
The site will boast a vineyard, distillery, and brewery to be opened later this year, with a courtyard bistro overlooking the vines to open in 2023.
“Our parcel of land has a free-draining sandy sub-soil and harvests plenty of sun with a north-west facing aspect,” commented Pacific Coast Beverages founder and Mangawhai local, Adam Booth.
Pacific Coast’s packaged beer and spirits will launch late 2022, operations will be headed by brewing expert and beer judge Sam Williamson, who has 20 years’ experience working in various New Zealand breweries.
The breweries’ passion and experimentation of brewing will be used to spice up the generally traditional spirits market using an American-designed still.
And with a vineyard in its early stages, wine is expected to be produced in 2024.
