Eruption Brewing
About the Business
Welcome to Eruption Brewing, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Lyttelton, New Zealand. As a small, locally owned micro brewery, we take pride in crafting authentic, handcrafted beers that are only produced on-site using the finest local ingredients.
Our home on London Street holds a rich history, once serving as the BNZ Bank before being destroyed in the devastating 2011 earthquakes. However, we have breathed new life into this iconic building with an award-winning architectural design, creating a unique venue that combines a working brewery, bar, restaurant, and rooftop deck spread across three floors.
At Eruption, we believe in supporting our local community, which is why all of our ales are brewed with malts from Canterbury, complemented by the world's best hops from Nelson and Motueka. Each sip of our beer is a celebration of Lyttelton's rich brewing heritage.
Our signature range of beer styles is accompanied by seasonal and experimental brews, crafted in limited edition quantities. We are committed to maintaining exceptional handcrafted quality, which is why our 1200L brew house is just the right size to stay true to our local producer ethic.
Whether you're looking for casual dining, a beer tasting experience, a leisurely weekend brunch, or live music to set the mood on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, Eruption has it all. Our rooftop deck offers panoramic harbour views, while the balcony overlooking London Street provides the perfect spot to watch the world go by.
If you can't make it to our brewery, fear not! We ship our beers directly to customers throughout New Zealand, ensuring that the Eruption experience can be enjoyed far and wide.
Furthermore, Eruption is available for bookings, whether it be for functions, private parties, corporate events, meetings, or any other special occasion you have in mind. Our versatile venue can cater to your needs and create memorable experiences for you and your guests.
Stay up to date with the latest news and events by visiting our Facebook page. And don't forget to join us for our regular live music sessions on Friday evenings from 5pm and Sunday afternoons from 3pm.
Come and immerse yourself in the Eruption experience. We can't wait to welcome you to Lyttelton, New Zealand's hidden brewing haven.

Reviews
"We sat up on the top floor and loved the service, food and ambience. The cat made it for me! Would happily go there again!"
"This place is such a gem. We’re visiting from overseas and planning a trip around coming back! Bartender/possibly brewmaster looped back to our table as he wasn’t happy with the cloudiness of the beer - end of keg. Came back to replace it with a fresh pint. Serious pride in the beer here and it shows in the quality of the product. Our boys loved the tunes. Can’t wait to come back."
"What a cool Brewery! We arrived late in the arvo, and all indoor tables were booked or taken (it was quite a cold day). The staff allowed us to sit at a table that was booked for a bit later on by someone else as we were only staying for a quick bite. We really appreciated their flexibility and them accommodating us. The view from the rooftop seating area was awesome and I can imagine how cool the vibe would be in summer up there. Highly recommend."
"Amazing spot. A must see brewery if you're in the area. Beer is delicious, loved the pineapple sour. Head to the rooftop for a lovely view over the street and port. Can't wait to come back!"
"Super little brewery in the heart of Lyttelton. Ample selection of brews on tap and good eats as well. Live music is nice when you can catch it. Cozy seating downstairs and nice seating and atmosphere upstairs. Pop in for a cold one. No regrets."
