WE'RE CONSTANTLY ENERGISED BY OUR VIBRANT COMMUNITY.

We’ve nicknamed our brewing style ‘village craft’ because we specialise in small batches and create everything at our brewery in the heart of Te Aro. We’re constantly energised by this city – our village that is Wellington – and its vibrant community.

https://i0.wp.com/whistlingsisters.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/39502581_1073452719470278_5000501088382615552_o-Cropped.jpg?fit=640%2C640&ssl=1

Our beers range a spectrum of styles; from easy-drinking crowd favourites, to traditional ‘old world’ recipes, and experimental, new world flavours. Each brew is different, and through our craft, we want to help everyone find something to excite their unique taste and share the experience of delicious craft beer.

Pop in to The Fermentery on the corner of Taranaki and Ghuznee streets to try it for yourself!

We’ve created a ‘lab’ here at Whistling Sisters where we deconstruct all our beers’ flavours to match them with the food that we serve in The Fermentery. Come in for a taste or book a brewery tour!

RIVETER LAGER

Reward yourself after a hard day’s work with our riveter lager. Great things take time. From the selection of the finest malts and hops, through to the traditional brewing process of bottom fermentation, then maturation in tank for an extra six to eight weeks. This authentic lager is perfectly crisp. Unfiltered yet crystal clear, a thick foamy head on top with a hint of citrus hop and an extra dry finish.

METALSMITH APA

Our Metalsmith forges to the heart of balance between hop and malt. Fruit-forward and floral with a full hop aroma, our unfiltered American Pale Ale brings its a-game. A true craftsmanship of zesty grapefruit and citrus play with a welcome balance of bitterness and a creamy finish. This well-rounded APA will definitely leave you wanting another.

POTION RANGE

A liquid that is believed to have a magical effect on someone who drinks it.

GINGER RUSH

Our brewing team spent 2 weeks fermenting this beauty & 2 days prepping it and then added further conditioning in the brite tank. We used 45kg of sliced fresh ginger along with 10kg of freshly squeezed lemon plus ground cloves & some other secret ingredients - all resulting in a refreshing clean Ginger Beer without being overly sweet. It's a full ginger kick that will fill your whole mouth; the fresh ginger ensuring a beautiful warmth at the back of the throat. The use of Champagne yeast has also given this a whole new dimension and finesse.

LIMITED RELEASE RANGE

Limited edition brews, available for a short period of time. A range for the adventurists through to the classics – we pay homage to the classic traditional styles from around the world and we also brew classics with our whistling twist, using inventive ingredients to modifications during the brewing process.

SPRINGTIME HAZY IPA

Spring has Sprung!
And so has our latest 'Painted Series' Hazy!

This NEW brew welcomes a brand new hazy, loaded with awesome Kiwi hops Nectaron, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin, backed up by American classic Columbus. A little lighter in colour than last season's brew, this hazy IPA brings peach, pineapple and papaya flavours and aromas, with a beautiful juicy texture and a creamy white head.

We are getting the urge to frolick in the Botans and make daisy crowns after a pint or two of these - care to join us?

AMBERDEXTROUS AMBER ALE

This Amber Ale comes jam packed with a rich balance of flavours and aromas.
This brew has a combination of American and NZ aromatic dry hopping and Aotearoa boil hops.
The rich profile and surprising complex full flavour comes from the strong amounts of Aotearoa malts and the use of Anglo Yeast.

This Amber Ale is a deep amber colour with a hint of red and a thick creamy off white head
Look out for citrus aromatics of grapefruit & tangerine!

SHE'LL BE LITE MATE

This Lite Lager has a beautiful base of malts including Pilsner, Wheat and Vienna which is supported by bitterness from modern German hops Callista and Ariana. With a generous dry hop of Nelson Sauvin.

HOP COALITION HAZY IPA

To help us all cope with this year’s election we have produced a
beer that states ‘Coalitions can & do work.’

The votes are in, and the coalition is led by Mosaic with the majority of 50% Columbus at 30% and the minors Citra and El Dorado splitting the remaining 20%

The hops can’t do it by themselves, so they are supported by a very strong malt build, all this together delivers us a beautiful 5.5% abv full of all the attributes you expect from a Hazy IPA, but you need to be the judge of that. Enjoy.

ECLIPSE STOUT

As the weather gets a little colder, a little windier, get yourself warmed up with the Eclipse Stout. With an extra bag of brown malt in the grist, this stout brings flavours of chocolate, toffee, and caramel with a subtle but balancing earthy bitterness from the combination of German and English hops.
