Steam Brewing Company

Steam Brewing Company started in October 1995 with a little English pub out front of the brewery in East Tamaki, Auckland. The pub was called Cock & Bull. Nearly 10 years later and with the opening of 5 pubs (by May 2005) the brewery was too small and a new brewery was needed. In July 2004, Steam Brewing Company purchased the Auckland Breweries plant. Which also included a packaging line giving Steam Brewing Company the opportunity to enter the packaged beer market.

Now he's directing the leap into large capacity brewing and bottling that Kieran says will take the company from being a local brewpub chain to a national contender. Last year, Steam Brewing bought Auckland Brewing Company, a contract brewer with the capacity to brew two million litres a year, and, crucially, the equipment to put beer in bottles.
