Hallertau Brewery

Omg what a lovely off chance when we stopped in on Sunday afternoon! Had a lovely young man serve us. He was so chill and easygoing and took our order for two snapper meals, but they only had one snapper left, so we opted for a pizza. Wow, the pizzas here were just wonderful! I'm definitely ordering pizza next time. The snapper dish was so delicious it melted in my mouth. Well cooked to perfection. The DJ was ok, but a live band would be our preference for music. Also, a lovely family atmosphere where dogs and children mixed and mingled. I would love my birthday here! Lots of shelter and greenery for the outdoor atmosphere and indoors was nice and clean. Drinks was ok but I prefer sangria Pizza guys were awesome to watch but pls put more mozzarella cheese on mine Thank you for a lovely experience.

Last winter we were adventuring across New Zealand’s North Island during the Fifa Women’s World Cup and when we ended our trip in Auckland the Hallertau Brewery caught my partner’s eye. The German beers caught his “beer nerd” attention and the food menu sounded perfect in the chilly weather.nnWe came for the beers but it’s the food that we’ve kept talking about. The wood fire honeycomb Brie may have been one of the best things we tasted during our whole trip. It was tasty, smelled amazing and just looked gorgeous. The fries with smoked mayo were a fantastic starter and then we shared the lamb shoulder. It was flawless and fell off the bone. It was the perfect example of how good New Zealand lamb can be.nnWe loved the drinks we had too. We did the beer and cider tastings and some of the descriptions for the beers were humorous. The drinks and food really complimented one another.nnEven though it was a quiet night at the brewery it had a such great vibe. The servers were attentive but also chill and were very kindly talking with us tipsy chatty tourists. We’d both love to revisit one day and can only imagine how fun a place the beer garden must be on a summers day.nnWe’re so happy we went and I highly recommend it!

SPOT ON! Often when we go to a brewery we have low expectations of the food, but the food here was so well elevated. It’s been quite tricky for me to find good sour beers and ciders in Auckland, and merci to you I’ve had one of my all time favourites today! Tangelo cider was just the best, not to say that the aged sour wasn’t. Service was amazing as well, despite having a tiny issue with our order our server managed it in the most efficient manner. Good job and thanks for all your hard work team! Can’t wait to be back

Such a great place to eat and chill on a sunny summers day. Out in the beer garden, eating delicious pizza, drinking very nice craft beer and kombucha. Smiles all round. We’ll be back real soon.nTry the wood fired pizzas. Fantastic!!

The food we ordered is great! Steak with the smoked flavor which is perfect! Roasted cauliflower is perfect with the sauce.nEverything is great with the good weather. Besides the #2 beer is the best!
