Nestled in the natural beauty that is the Coromandel Peninsula, just a few short hours drive from Auckland, there is a brewery known simply as the Coromandel Brewing Company. Neil Vowles has been brewing beer since his student days. In the 80’s good beer in the UK was hard to come by; this combined with a student budget made brewing his own an attractive option. His passion for brewing carried on as a hobby until moving to the Coromandel in 2008, and finding a lack of craft beers in the area. The solution was obvious – start a small brewery and fill the void!
