Ruapehu Brewing Co. is an independent brewery based in Ohakune, Ruapehu, Aotearoa. Founded by Austin Hobson in 2017, the brewery began its journey in a small heritage railway station building in Ohakune's Junction area. With the support of the local community, Ruapehu Brewing Co. has expanded into a larger space. In 2023, our "Unlimited Vis" Hazy IPA earned national acclaim by placing in the Top 30 of the New World Beer & Cider Awards, marking RBC on the national scene. We also took home a People's Choice award at a recent beer festival, a true testament to our dedication to quality brewing.
