About

Hannah & Andrew Childs are the dynamic duo that works to lead the team from the front. Andrew founded Behemoth, but Hannah made it a team of two when she started helping at festivals soon after they started dating. She says she was “in it for the beer”, now that’s an Oregon girl, if we’ve ever heard one! Big food lovers, we asked these two if they would rather never be able to taste beer again or become vegetarian. They couldn’t agree on an answer.

Richard is the “money man” and thank goodness, otherwise, we would be overrun with hops! Joining us just before we went into Lockdown he hasn’t spent too much time in the office but we can’t wait to see this set up for real! We asked Richard what jersey on the wall was his favourite, but last we saw, he was standing in front of it still trying to decide, so we’ll come back to you on that one.

The face, the voice, the guy that runs the show at our hospitality venues, Churly’s Brewpub + Eatery and Churly’s Rise. You may hear us calling him “U” around the place, but we’re not being rude as it’s his nickname! Doing most of this work in the early hours of the morning, seriously, this guy goes to the gym at 2 AM. WHO DOES THAT?! For someone who smiles all day, every day we asked him if he would rather have a freakishly huge smile or a freakishly small nose, as we guessed, he opted for a huge smile! Keep on Keeping it Hazy, U!

Richard can't count all of the hops himself! So we hired him a right-hand man (seriously, he sits to the right of Richard). Tim knows all things Finance and brings a wealth of knowledge to the team, and Thank God, otherwise we'd be overrun with Hops & Different Flavours around the place.

Scott has been with us since, pretty much the beginning! Driving around the South Island, he makes sure our beers are looking the best they can on the shelf at Supermarkets. Another person, surprisingly from the wine industry, Scott knows a thing or two about selling stuff.

If you see our beer in your local supermarket, it's all thanks to this guy! Harry is our sales guy for all things Grocery!

We need many different Churly's made up, so we needed a man for the job, and we found him! Nick joined our team full-time after being a contractor for us for a year. We have him to thank for the many can designs, posters, social squares, and more designs everyone loves!

Paddy is the man with all the beer knowledge. Been with Behemoth since the opening of our Brewery; he's one of the OG's around here. Brewing plenty of beers a week, he's always running around fixing or doing something, but he always has time to pass some of the knowledge on if you want it. We couldn't do it without you, Paddy!

You have this team to thank for all the fantastic beers we bring out every week (yes, we said week!) We have Paddy, our Head Brewer; Dan, his right-hand man; next is Ken, our Brewery Operator & Jimmy, our apprentice Brewer.

If you've ever ventured out to Titirangi, you are sure to recognize this face! Tee has been with the Rise since opening, and before that was at Churly's Brewpub + Eatery so let's just say, he knows his stuff.

Just a few familiar faces you’ll see at Churly’s Dominion Road (more to come, oye Covid!). They are masters at keeping it hazy and will always try to remember your name. Come see them at Churly’s Brewpub + Eatery, we promise the beer is cold and the food is hot!

Churly’ Rise is our new location out West in Titirangi, bringing the same feel of Churly’s Brewpub + Eatery to Street Fest. Opening just 4 weeks before we went back into lockdown we can’t wait to see you there soon!
