Welcome to Salt District Brewing, Whangamata

BEER.

Just Tastier.

Welcome to Whangamata’s only craft brewery!

Where the spirit of the ocean meets the art of Craft brewing. Nestled on the pristine shores of the Coromandel, and about 800m walk from the beach. Our brewery is more than just a place to grab a few tins, and attend events - it’s a celebration of surf culture, community, and the craft of creating exceptional beers.

Welcome to the heart of Whangamata’s salty scene, where beer and waves collide in perfect harmony.

Meet our passionate Founder & Head Brewer, Liam Blunden.

The creative force behind the unique and adventurous brews that flow from our small Whangamata - based brewery. A local in this picturesque coastal town, Liam always had a deep connection to the sea and a thirst for innovation in brewing.

Were bloody proud to make each and every Salt district beer right here, Handcrafted in our little brewery. No contract brewing, No nasty stuff. Just water, yeast, Hops and Malt. And a whole lotta’ Love!

Living in Whangamata isn’t just a location for Liam and the many other fantastic locals; it’s a way of life.

With the ocean as the ultimate playground, and the surf report usually dictating the brewing schedule.

It's all about work, life balance here in the Coromandel!
