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.

The Cock & Bull family of beers got the premium shelf postion inside the chiller. Perfect eye level height. This was possibly due to the demise of the Parrot & Jigger beers, since they closed their brewery back in November 2004.
