Enjoy the best of NZ Craft Beer

You will taste wonderful medal-standard beers at home every month, including new breweries and beer yet to be recognised at annual awards.   Each month our qualified BJCP judges select 12 of NZ’s best-tasting beers for the Judges’ Selection Box.  It’s like a beer festival in a box!  Nothing too weird, no marketing gimmicks, and no ‘clearance’ beers.  You only get the best available beers in every box.

12 unique breweries in every box

In our Judges’ Selection Box you will discover NZ’s newest small breweries and beer not available in stores.  You can learn about the brewers and rate their beer with the 8-page tasting guide included in every box.  New Zealand breweries brew some of the best beer in the world.  But many beer-drinkers don’t know which craft beers will taste best.  We do.  Craft Box Direct brings together some of the best independent NZ craft brewers into one carefully curated range of well-made, balanced, drinkable craft beers. In our monthly selection we also include one or two more challenging beers to open your horizons.

Introducing John and Andrew

We are good mates who met through home-brewing and share a love of great beer. We tasted such a range of great Kiwi beers on our BJCP beer judging course and realised we could create a better, fresher, Kiwi beer subscription to get the best beers in NZ out to the nation. We work with NZ Craft Breweries select their best beer for our monthly Judges’ Selection. Freshness is key so we take orders a month in advance, get the brewers to brew then send to us to pack and courier to our customers so it is tasting at its best.

Small CBD CRAFT BEER SHOP V2

Best-tasting beer, fresh, direct from the brewery

NZ’s Freshest Craft Beer Shop delivers every beer fresh, direct from the brewery that brews it, because beer tastes better fresh.  Choose from hundreds of brewery-fresh beers.  Most beer you buy is sitting around for months before it reaches the shelf because they use old-school supply and distribution channels. Not with Craft Box Direct.  Your order is sent fresh, Direct from the brewery  to your home.  The monthly selection is sent fresh to us, packed overnight and then couriered Direct to you.

Beer-drinkers’ craft beer

Our criteria for selecting the beers is simple. Is it a really good beer?  Do I want another one?  But of course, it is not that simple. We select beers from the best independent breweries. Beers are judged by BJCP certified beer judges to our specific criteria:  Well-made, balanced and drinkable beer. We have rejected more than we have chosen.  We want to make sure the beers are medal-standard, so you will love them, and keep coming back for more.  Each monthly selection box is a different mix of popular but interesting styles.
