Reviews of Searchlight Brewery

First brewery we visited in QT since we moved here. It’s walking distance from our residence. Staff are cheerful and welcoming. We started by a tasting flight and eventually found a favorite. 😅 Food is great too. You can also buy take-away beer (they have growlers). Lots of beer on tap to choose from!

Slip of the main road and into a truly chilled independent brewery. We had a great afternoon sipping on the Russian Imperial Stout, N1, before grabbing a take home bottle for later in the evening. Great chat, great vibe and more importantly great beer.

S. A.

Best craft beer in Queenstown hidden away down a secret back alley on the industrial estate! Highly recommended! Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

E. M.

I'd heard good things but wasn't expecting to find such a hidden gem in the industrial area. Loved the sunny beer garden, enjoyed a tasting paddle and some yummy snacks. Will definately be a summer favourite!

M. S.

Glad we found this hidden gem on our way back from Arrowtown! Louis was super friendly and talked us through each of the beers that they had brewing while we had the tasting paddle. Cosy atmosphere with checkers & uno available to play. There is also a few car parks hidden away down the back. Tasty beers! We will be back 😊

Stunning beer - and the food was amazing. Can recommend the pulled pork quesadilla!

Amazing beer! All the time trying something new. The guys there are so nice and friendly and the place is awesome too! It is a little hidden from town but you should definitely go there. And if you are in a rush just grab the big bottle!!!

D. F.

Great selection of very good beer. Inside is a bright space with a fire going. Games, like Battleships, are available to play while you enjoy your drink. Big area out front which will be good for the summer months.

D. A.

Love, love, love Searchlight! Better beer, value, and atmosphere than anywhere else in town. Easy to get to by car, bus, or 20 minute walk from town centre. Crackling fire and blankets to keep you cozy. Board games and some food options are a plus! Be back soon!

M. B.

Such a cool place away from the chaos of the Main Street. Great selection of local beers plus Chris knew his beers! Empanadas were a plus! Definitely recommend any beer lover to go here in Queenstown!

A great little typical cosy Brewery Tap, very good friendly service.

Oh wow a gem in the heart of industrial area, great choices of beers and menu looked tempting- try the alcoholic ginger beer! Crimson Badger Brewery

Amazing atmosphere, great beers! Super convenient location after coming off the hill. Definitely check it out if you’re in Queenstown. Hidden gem!

Very pleasant beer drinking, 13 on tap, 4 spot beer taster, very friendly service. Good to stop for a rest after driving. Didn’t try food (some nibbles)

Great beers in a funky small space close to town. Hung around & played some (free) table football and there’s some pinball, nice community vibe and GREAT beers.

Very nice woman working out there during lockdown today. Good stout beer for a cold day also hit the spot.
