Wigram Brewery

We sat a panel down to choose the best New Zealand award-winning beers to serve in our Eatery and we are proud to be serving two of Wigram Brewery’s award-winning brews in our Foodstore & Eatery, the Bavarian PILSNER and the Munchner DUNKEL.

We choose the Pilsner as it has a clean hop flavour at the initial taste followed by a crisp finish. The pilsner’s malt flavour is complemented by a slight lingering bitterness, and the German Dunkel style dark lager with toasted malt flavours and aroma is refreshing with a subtle bitterness and rich malt characters.

Wigram Brewing Company was established in 2003. Built on a passion for brewing and a love of beer and strives to produce individual beers for beer lovers.

Using a cacophony of rich international and New Zealand malts and hops, their beers are "crafted" to surprise and satisfy. Committed to traditional brewing processes Wigram beers do not contain any preservatives, artificial colouring or added sugars thus producing true, natural flavours and character.

Paul McGurk, the owner’s mission is “to produce quality full-flavoured beer and educate the New Zealand palate”. He was really pleased to be selected for the Barker’s Food Store and Eatery. “We wish Barker’s success in their new venture and are excited that our two great beers will feature in the eatery drinks menu”.
