Rarotonga Brewery

The Rarotonga Brewery is a local icon in Avarua, Rarotonga, offering a selection of beautifully locally crafted Beers, Kombucha, and Soda Water at their location across the road from Oasis in the Cook Islands. Established in 2016, the brewery has rapidly gained popularity among locals and tourists alike with its philosophy of producing high-quality beer that competes with the world's best.

The brewery follows the 'Reinheitsgebot' or 'German Purity Law' for beer, brewing the Cook Islands Lager with only three ingredients; water, hops, and grains, and with no additives or preservatives. The dedication and skill of the brewers result in a crisp, clean, refreshing lager with a clear amber color and medium-sized head, offering a fresh taste that is hard to beat.

Rarotonga Brewery's equipment has undergone several iterations, with the most recent upgrade in 2023, and operates from a new building. They offer keg and tap delivery services to bars and restaurants, and sell their beer to the public in reusable 2-litre and 4-litre stainless steel flagons, contributing to reducing landfill waste in the area.

The brewery aims to provide great beer that visitors appreciate and locals are proud to call their own and has already garnered support from over 40 establishments on the island. They are committed to offering great beer that is affordable and easily accessible to all, understanding the logistical challenges of importing beer from other countries to Rarotonga.

The dedication to sustainability, local pride, and quality craft beer makes Rarotonga Brewery a significant presence in the Avarua community. Whether it's enjoying their locally crafted beverages at their location, opposite The Oasis gas station in Nikao, or finding their products at various leading bars and restaurants on the island, the brewery's passion for excellence and environmental responsibility shines through.
