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.

Monk’s Habit baptised as champion ale ‘in a class of its own’

“You could say that Monk’s Habit leaves other beers without a prayer,” smiled Luke Nicholas. “This newest collection of plaudits for Monk’s Habit verify this beer as a true New Zealand great. No other beer has won as many trophies and medals at the New Zealand International Beer Awards over the years.

“This huge haul shows what can be done when you invest in delivering a quality-driven product. We're not about being the biggest... but we are about being the best. And with two 'best in class' trophies, three gold, two silver and two bronze medals, we've shown that by far.”
