Everything You've Never Known

When it comes to going out for beersies, we all crave different. We crave experiences we’ve never had, a way of doing the same thing through a new lens, new flavours and feelings. Something a little mysterious. We crave these things because we want to feel alive and it’s the leap of faith into the unknown that enables this to happen.

Wild isn’t chaotic or disorganised, it’s actually nature’s natural balance. And there's nothing like a balanced cold beer on a Waiheke summer's day.

Exciting, every time!

Setting up shop back in 1998 when craft beer wasn't cool, it didn't deter our logic impaired founders. Instead, like all good 'bad' ideas, we pulled up our big boy pants and got on with it....and we've been punching above our weight ever since. Flipping-the-bird to the status-quo, we produce fresh, small batch brews in a distinctly Waiheke Island regional style.

Still doggedly brewed in a shed out back with vim, vigour, dash and determination. We relentlessly strive for brave, intriguing brews for our suitably refreshed locals and distinguished island guests. Ours certainly ain't no shiny new brewery - it's over 25 years old and lives in a good old kiwi shed out back. Never the less she's a stubborn beast who just keeps on brewing (mostly) and is ideal for passionately creating our crafty ales.

To keep things interesting, we serve them alongside local craft beers from Tamaki Makaurau, so you'll always try something new and exciting at Wild Estate!
