Rhyme x Reason Brewery

Hailing from Wanaka, Rhyme and Reason is known for bringing big flavour and big personality wherever we go. Our festival stall is hard to miss — featuring oversized, colourful tap badges and our signature wacky, waving inflatable arm tube man dancing above the crowd. We love to keep things lively with fresh, creative brews, a team that’s always up for a laugh, and costumes to match the spirit of the occasion. Our setup draws a crowd year after year, with festival-goers coming back for both the beer and the atmosphere. With Rhyme and Reason, you can always expect something new, something fun, and plenty of good times poured alongside great beer.
