Learn about the brewery’s history and get some tips from our expert brewers on our award winning interactive and informative guided tour.
The Speight’s Brewery Tour is a must do for locals and visitors to Dunedin alike.
For over 141 years Speight’s have been brewing a range of beers from the original Rattray Street Brewery, here in Dunedin.
A fully guided tour through the Brewery gives you a chance to learn about their extensive history before learning about their brewing process and how they became a legend not only in the south but right around the country. The Brewery was recently upgraded so you get a chance to see the old and the new.
We will take you from the top of the Brewery through the various levels of this heritage site (please note that there are over 200 stairs on this tour - but don't worry, we take it slow); introducing you to some characters and core ingredients along the way. You will touch, taste and smell the key ingredients that go into our award-winning beers, as well as experiencing our diverse history.
The tour finishes in the Tasting Room where you will get a chance to taste and appreciate samples of Speight’s finest beers. We will even teach you how to pour the perfect beer - this is a great opportunity for some photographs!

A different kind of experience which I recommend. The history and how it came about and the process of brewing. Well kept museum. Our tour guide made it fun and interesting and at the end of the tour we had beer tasting.
Alison the tour guide did a great job, the tour was awesome. Sam on the counter was friendly and also does a great job on the sales counter. Overall I would advise many more people to experience the tour!!!
Alison our tour guide was lovely and very informative! Very cool history behind this brewery

Fascinating Tour of NZ's Iconic Beer Brand
This priced-right tour of Speight's historic brewery takes you through the process of brewing started by the founders in 1876. Along the way down the floors of the brewery, a little of the colourful history of Dunedin is told. The tour ends in the tasting room where the Speight's beer varieties are explained and sampled. Very enjoyable, especially if the weather is not so great outdoors! There are several tour times each day, and there's (literally) a Speight's-branded something for everyone in the souvenir shop. Note: 200 stairs to descend in 4 or 5 flights, after elevator ride to the top floor of the brewery. Also 1 or 2 short flights to ascend at times.
