.jpg)
Learn about the brewery’s history and get some tips from our expert brewers on our award winning interactive and informative guided tour.
Highlights
- Learn about Speight's extensive history and legendary status
- Explore the brewery and the brewing process, with recently upgraded brewing equipment
- Taste and appreciate samples of Speight’s finest beers
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!

The tour starts with a bit of history, founding of Dunedin, gold rush at Queenstown, start brewery, etc. At the top floor you will get the process of beer making explained, water, barley & hops, running through the old museum, with copper water stills, old milling machines, copper steep, mash, lauter, destillation & fermentation stills, and cats drinking beer. Then history again, Christchurch earthquake, new investors, tv advertisement. And a quick look at the new installation. Next rush off as the workers did to the taproom where you can get a taste of free ales & lagers until the bell for quick last order.

Very friendly staff. Ken our tour guide, was pretty amazing. Very friendly, had a great knowledge about local history and about brewery. Great value for money. We missed beer tasting for personal reasons, but they also have great non alcoholic beverages. Definitely going to this place again and can't wait to taste some beers. The retail store has got good variety of Speights souvenirs to buy for good price. Overall it's a good experience and a must do activity in Dunedin... Cheers mate..

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.
