As you probably already know, Wānaka is home to a great selection of breweries. One thing that sets them apart is their commitment to sustainability.
All of the breweries in Wānaka accept reusable flagons and containers so that you can take your favourite brew home.
Not only is this great for the planet but it is also far more cost effective to refill a flagon than to buy a pack of beers. With so many options available, reducing your single-use waste for beer and liquor has never been easier.
Read on to find out more.
Rhyme & Reason
The team at Rhyme & Reason have been ahead of the game for a while. With their own reusable flagon lending scheme, reuse is just the norm here.
Pop-in for fresh hops, habanero saisons, coffee IPAs, fruity sours or rice lagers and return home with your favourite brew. You can also bring your own flagon. As long as it’s clean, the team will fill up almost anything!
P.S. for a fun night out that gives back to the local community, head to Rhyme & Reason’s popular meat raffle nights held every Friday. The money raised from the raffle goes to a different non-profit each month, including Plastic Free Wānaka.
With a prime location overlooking Lake Wānaka, Brew Bar is the home of Wānaka Beerworks and a proud supporter of the Again Again flagon scheme. They also have their own growlers available.
An award-winning brewery with great drinks and tasty bites, Ground Up offers a flagon lending scheme so that you can carry on the party. You’ll also find b.effect Kombucha refills.
From the supermarkets to the bars, you are likely to find b.effect throughout Wānaka. At the b.social Taproom & Eatery, bring your reusable flagon and fill it up with craft beer, cider and kombucha.
Pop into Liquorland Three Parks and make the most of their self-serve taps – a great way to reduce single-use packaging. Flagons are available or you can BYO!
