New Zealand beer-West coast: refreshing! - Had a great time learning about history of New Zealand beer history!… The beer tasted refreshing ! We were shown how the factory is set up to brew and then bottle the beer. Afterwards, we were given two options, including a classic beer. I thought that the beer had a great flavor!

A real asset to Greymouth - Monteith’s Brewery is a highlight for the town of Graymouth. Even though it’s now owned by a big international brewing company, it still feels like a place locals actually come to, not just somewhere set up for tourists. The brewery tour was informative and easy to follow — not rushed, and you learn something. The tastings at the end were a nice way to wrap it up. Food and drinks were priced as you except when you walk through the door, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Plenty of space and easygoing vibe. Worth the visit if you’re passing through.

Brewery Tour - Enjoyed our tour only 40 mins but it’s enough. Cecilia’s knowledge of brewing is great very enthusiastic and a great bar too. Its closes at 9pm as does everywhere else in Greymouth so don’t be late if you want to test the different beers on offer.

Best dark beer in the world. - The brewery is a great place to visit with excellent beers on Tap. The lady who did our tour last Wednesday afternoon was amazing. She had great stories about the brewery and westcoast. Down to earth and an all round great person to have a beer with.

We enjoyed our tour.... - We enjoyed our tour. Harvey was a knowledgeable and personable guide. It was interesting to hear about the history of the company a the brewing process although no brewing takes place on site. Monteith’s beers are allay good so we enjoyed the samples and the mixed six packs to bring away.

When you take the tour they give you a few discount coupons to use in the area. - One of the coupons gives 20% off the Waiatoto River Safaris which amounts to a substantial saving. The tour was informative. Our guide spoke about the founder’s history and prison sentence for illegally making and selling his craft beer. It was a former brewery; nothing is made there now. The tanks have a problem with the underground beer line. We took the tour with a tasting. You get 2 beers and a mixed 6 pack of your choice to take home.

Not worth doing - Not really much off a tour nothing really to see only good thing about it if you paid for full tour you get to get 6 pack off beer but would be cheaper to go buy a 6 pack at the shop so definitely would not be recommending
