About GodsOwn Brewery
Godfrey started home brewing in Nigeria where we lived for two years. Imported beer was banned and the local beer was a bit of a lucky dip. It had a range from water to petrol! My dad dabbled in a bit of home brew and after a visit to NZ we returned to Nigeria with a ‘kit and kilo’. The initial product was nearly as good as the Nigerian brew! Despite this Godfrey was hooked. Well, isn’t beer great for bringing people together to enjoy life!

London is a great place to try lots of beer. We were back and tasting as much as we could. In 2006 we went to a little festival called 'Beer on Broadway' in Ealing. It was the 17th year for this festival and we still have the glass! There were lots of beers on offer but one really stood out- an espresso stout. Coffee and beer together!! It really showed us that craft beer is a reflection of a brewer’s creativity as well as skill. Unfortunately I couldn't make the most of it as our son was born 5 days later!
We were a family now and wanted to head back to the Southern Hemisphere. Godfrey got transferred to Perth. He, and his mate, Gary, built a small brewing system that Godfrey had designed. It got installed in our carport and full grain mashing began. Western Australia also has an abundance of breweries that helped us picture the kind of place we wanted. 3 years and many, many batch brews later we headed to NZ.

We set out in our 1973 caravan to find the right location. Hawkes Bay stood out for us. Breweries fit in well with food, wine and sunshine. We were looking for a livable house, some flat land, and the right ‘feel’. As soon as we got out of the car we knew we had found it, a beautiful spot in Maraekakaho. I loved the old villa, small local community and a school round the corner. We moved onto our 6.5h property on the 1st Feb 2010.
Since then we have added a daughter, extended the old villa (with only one bedroom it was a bit small), developed a hop farm (why not?), and built an 800l brewery in the back yard!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Godfrey, I said I'd do a tasting of your Stout with my Beer-judging friend....scored a 97! Suggestion that the aeration was a bit too much and perhaps a hint of vanilla...but (unofficially) the best Stout the beer judge has tasted since judging a 2016 national competition!
Pizza and Beer lovers...if you are in the Bay and you DON'T go here, you are seriously missing out. Flawless beer, tasty food and friendly, prompt service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great brewery! I highly recommend spending an entire afternoon here. The beer was amazing. Good place for kids. A little pricey for food and for tasting tray was kind of average-expensive as well. It’s a beautiful property. Only reason I gave a four not a five was because our pizza took over an hour and we had to keep checking on it because we had to go (luckily they did give us a discount on it because it took so long).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ GodsOwn Brewery offers an array of beers and wood-fired pizzas. When we visited, it took a while for our food orders to be served, regardless, we devoured our pizzas in a snap. We highly recommend the adobo beef pizza. The brewery is a perfect place to lounge especially during summer time because of the outdoor set-up.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'd read a news article about this brewery, so my wife and I made it a high priority when we moved here from overseas. As others said, it has a wonderful backyard hangout feel with delicious beer, groovy music, friendly faces, and tasty snacks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great selection of beers, very friendly staff. Very limited options for vegans, so I'd suggest bringing your own food to eat it you're drinking.
Very family friendly, big play area for the kids. I'd definitely recommend coming out here for a visit!
