Hallertau Brewery & Biergarten

I've been here once before, and both times I've thoroughly enjoyed the food. I'm not much into trying beers, so I can't speak to the selection, but really enjoyed my cold larger. The service is timely and the staff know what they're doing, even if slightly reserved. Lovely location it looks and feels a little like a tropical island destination, good atmosphere, topped off with great food. I'd definitely recommend a visit here if you're in the area. Wheelchair accessibility: Assuming you can get a park with enough space, the whole place is flat. However, it's mostly sand, so take your time

Stopped in for lunch. The place is nicely laid out with plenty of room to move. The food was fantastic, I will let the photos do the talking but yum yum. The jalapeano poppers were out of this world. Not much heed to vegetarianism but enough to survive. The craft beer was supremo...I would recommend any of them. I had a cloudy concoction which was mind numbingly good. The service staff were genuine, friendly and very helpful making it w=easy for us to accommodate a wee one. It is a little way out of town but on the motorway it is close time wise and what a great place to enjoy a beer and some food and good company at any time.

I came in a couple of days ago for lunch with my family. The waitress was very welcoming and provided my younger brother with some crayons and an activity sheet. There was a fine selection of beer and the pizzas we ordered were delightful. The mushroom pizza’s the way to go. It’s amazing to find that the fries were super crispy, as well as the jalapeno poppers being very spicy! To my liking. There was an outdoor kids playground and games to play which is very convenient for children. Overall, I had a great experience here. Prices were reasonable, food was amazing, and beer was great! Pale Ale 100% Definitely will be back.

Hallertau remains my favourite restaurant and we have been coming here for many many years. Our service today was friendly and so efficient - the food came out super fast & the food itself was divine. Recommended by our waiter, the mushroom pizza is a must!!! The atmosphere is always great with music playing and a lovely courtyard. Dog friendly too

A very cool place. Has a great vibe going around the moment you enter this place. Have lots of options for beers from the brewery. Prices are ok. Have decent amount of vegetarian options across the menu. I had ordered a wood fired mushroom pizza and it was simply awesome. Other guys from my group had ordered burgers and they looked equally tempting beef, chicken, etc. In drinks I tried the zero alcohol lager beer and it tasted as good as the normal one. There is a small play area for the kids as well. Would definitely be coming back to this place. Vegetarian options: Pizzas Sidee

A fantastic Brewery, I went to the distillery at the back Thomson Whisky New Zealand. It was a great day with friendly informative staff. Mat Thomson was on hand to offer a lot of information about the whisky making process, operation and design of the still. Their whisky is absolutely fantastic and it us clear to see why they have won numerous awards. I would happily recommend for anyone to try their whisky, I am going to get some and send to friends to help more people know about Thomson Whisky. I would be happy to go back to Thomson Whisky New Zealand anytime.

Great brewery close to Auckland. Ypu can choose between the outside sitting or inside next to the beer. A huge variety of locally brewed beers. Apart from the regular brews there are also some more exciting tasting beers. If you can't try all you like to you still can get a bottle to bring home. Staff was absolutely friendly and assists when choosing the right beer.

Great place, even the trip here in the countryside was nice. Great service, as soon as your glass is empty someone is there to refill it or take your order. Enjoyed my jalapeño poppers, pretty spicy too! My partner loved his burger. Great presentation and love the music too. So much to look at here, place is huge. It was great to hook up with our friends and all the children were entertained by the playground & drawings. Can't really fault this place, look forward to going again. The beer is so good too

Great experience. Good food. Good beer. Sour beers leaves a bit to be desired. Funkonnay amazing. Bit of a rig marole leaving with the bill charged wrong and credit etc but overall good.Food: 4/5

Have wanted to experience this place for a couple of years - not easy when I live in the Waikato. Did not disappoint.. The beers are consistent and they are known for the pilsner. I liked the Cold IPA and the Red Ale.. I had 2 tasting paddles- a great way of trying a selection. And you might even find you like beers you've not thought of trying before! The menu was nice. Had the fish crudo and the croquettes. Nice atmosphere..
