Our Story

Hello there!

At DVB we simply aspire to be your very own ‘Home Brewery’ by creating the kind of damn fine beer that delivers mouth parties at your place.

We spend our waking hours taking a second look at what defines a traditional style, and from there, we give the recipe boundaries a bit of a nudge. Yeah sure it might not please the Purity Police, and for that, trophies for “correctness” may elude us. Keep this to yourselves… but actually, we’re good with that.

Remember that Beer is about Friends, Family and Fun.

In case you were wondering, here are the results from our entries in the Brewers Guild of New Zealand! Each of these are monumental achievements to us. We do all of our own packaging design, illustrations and graphic design in-house – a small team wearing many hats to present the best packaging in Aotearoa.

• BGNZ Packaging Award – “DVB stood out for their outstanding artwork and brand consistency across core and seasonal releases.”

• Fun: Brewing is our passion and our ride – if you’re not having fun, something’s wrong.
