The perfect way to enjoy the outstanding natural beauty afforded by the South Island’s West Coast is with a crisp and refreshing drink from West Coast Brewery. As part of LUXlife’s Global Excellence Awards, we highlight the firm’s award- winning success. West Coast Brewery: Best Boutique Craft Brewery - South Island, New Zealand LUXlife’s Global Excellence Awards seek to celebrate the very best businesses, those who are determined to offer superior experiences and products that will leave customers drooling for more. For the world’s most discerning clientele, nothing but the best will do. Exploring the absolute best that the world has to offer, recipients of the Global Excellence Awards are nothing short of exemplary; often going above and beyond to deliver a service unlike any other. If there is one place unlike any other, it is New Zealand’s South Island, particularly the rugged west coast. Nestled in the beachfront town of Westport, once famed for a mining boom, lies the best boutique craft brewery on the South Island of New Zealand. Westport is a stunning place, home to hidden gems and hard- to-miss diamonds of luxury; a veritable paradise of truly authentic Kiwi culture. From local flora and fauna, to the fabled splendour of Cape Foulwind, there is no shortage of luxury on offer just from being in Westport. In fact, there is a wealth of it. In the centre of the town is West Coast Brewery, a living and breathing example of everything luxurious about the New Zealand way of living, whilst also delivering a stunning range of drinks to satiate the senses. Focused entirely on producing all-natural craft beers, ciders, and ginger beers of the highest quality, West Coast Brewery is the epitome of excellence fused with luxury. What began in the 1950s with ‘The Miners Brewery’ has evolved over more than six decades to become an effortlessly comfortable extension of the local culture. The current West Coast Brewery has been operating since the 1990s, mastering the art of creating a sensational range of totally natural, high-quality products. With a vast treasure trove of alcoholic beverages to tantalise the taste buds, there is something for every beer-lover. Every single drop of West Coast Brewery beer is brewed in a completely natural method over a lengthier period of time. This allows for the flavours and the body of a beer to develop more fully, ensuring clients get the best drink they possibly can. Whether it is the crisp, dry, lemon-flavoured kick of an organic lager, a malty brew with notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee, or a quintessential Kiwi- style IPA packed full of fruity punches, there is luxury abounding for seasoned beer- lovers and new drinkers alike. Sweeter treats can be found for those preferring them, including classic apple and black currant ciders locking in wave after wave of delicious flavour. For the more adventurous seeker of flavour, perhaps the hopped chili cider will ensnare the senses with refreshing fruit and a smattering of powerful heat. Or maybe clients would like to relieve the beauty and innocence of childhood, with the memory- laden ginger beer. Ensuring its status as a worthy winner of a LUXlife Global Excellence Award, West Coast Brewery does not simply deliver on the excellence of its products; it also affords discerning clients the chance to see how the magic happens. One of the brewery’s most distinguished guests is HRH Prince Charles, who visited the brewery in November 2015 to sample the stunning flavour of its Green Fern Organic Beer, which he subsequently loved. Through a guided tour of the brewery itself, guests can learn more about the beauty of the brewing process, asking questions and discovering more about the wonderful town of Westport along the way. Tours are daily, and available upon request. Visitors can also enjoy the sensational local produce from around the region, as the Excellence Global awards Jan20037 tour also includes charming picnic baskets full of cheese, meats, fruits, and relishes that are perfectly paired with the hand-crafted beers. At the end of the tour, it concludes in the only way a brewery tour should; with a sumptuous BBQ and more beer, courtesy of the generosity displayed by master brewer Marc Gardiner. New Zealand is undoubtedly a country of exquisite beauty, but the true luxury of its culture lies in the relaxed vibe of the people. West Coast Brewery embodies this culture completely, delivering a flavourful range of drinks that brings people together over a BBQ in mutual appreciation of the South Island’s marvellous glory. There is simply no better way to watch the sun go down over Buller Bay than with a perfectly-crafted West Coast Brewery beer.
