We were founded on the idea of brewing bigger beer, and it is the foundation of our success. We believe in making bigger, better products even if it costs us more to make them. That’s why our customers love us. We encourage everyone to dream big.
About
Founded in 2013 Behemoth Brewing Company were contract brewers from the start
with Behemoth’s first solo commercial brew being put down at the Twisted Hop, with big thanks to Martin and Lisa Bennett for helping so much at the early stages. We have brewed our beers at quite a few different places over the last few years; places including The Twisted Hop, The Beer Fountain (Hallertau/Liberty), Kereru, Black Sands, Stainless Brewing, Deep Creek, 8 Wired, B Studio, Steam Brewing and are now brewing our beers in our own brewery on Dominion Road in Auckland's Mt Eden! As our team grows, along with our beer selection, we remember how we sure wouldn't be where we are without our contract partners.
Over the last 11 years Behemoth has made over 700 unique beers (this number grows weekly); many of those having been small-batch, one-offs. Behemoth always loves trying new things while using top notch ingredients to make quality beers. This is why we, the Behemoth family, aim to create a hospitable community through the enjoyment of craft beer. Beers that are big, on flavour and fun, but also on making people smile or have a laugh with our mascot, Churly, and their varied attire.

After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2019 & 2020, Behemoth moved into their HQ on the corner of Dominion Road and Charles Street. And, with the help of 700+ Chur-holders, a brewpub (Churly's Brewpub + Eatery), production brewery was built. And now, with sites in Titirangi (Churly’s Rise), Wellington (Churly's CBD), and Greenlane (Turtle: Pizza & Pints) there is plenty of space for trying our most recent beers!
It has been a crazy few years (now up to a diverse team of 60+) and we feel so lucky to be able to produce and serve beers that people love to drink. The Behemoth team will always be working together to come up with new and interesting beers for you to enjoy. So look out for us, we will likely have something that is fun and tasty.
Chur!

I Am Hope
Talking to each other is a key part of mental health and sometimes, going to the pub and sharing a pint can encourage just that. That's why we made a beer in support if I AM HOPE called I AM HOP(E) and continue to be part of their network.
