Discover your next favourite beer
Enjoy the best of NZ Craft Beer
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! No marketing gimmicks, and no ‘clearance’ beers.
12 unique breweries 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 craft beers. In our Judges’ Selection Box you will discover NZ’s newest small breweries and beer not available in stores. And if you’re tired of seeing the same styles everywhere, don’t worry. We’ll also include one or two more challenging beers to open your horizons.
Fresh beer direct from the brewery
With Craft Box Direct your order is sent fresh, direct from the brewery to your home. Say goodbye to old-school supply and distribution channels that have beer sitting around for months in a warehouse or shelf. Our monthly selection comes fresh to us straight from the breweries. We pack it overnight and get it sent directly to you, because we understand beer tastes better when it’s fresh.
Beer-drinkers’ craft beer
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 mix of popular but interesting styles.

from 185 reviewsGot 3 month subscription for my husband for his birthday. Best gift ever! He'd enjoyed trying different beers beyond a Hazy ipa.
I usually order this for my brother each year, but this year I got us one each. 24 Beers for each day in December leading up to Christmas. A good variety with only 2 stouts (I'm not a fan) but I still drank both of them. Great excuse to try a style you normally wouldn't buy.
Nice way to enjoy summer in the lead up to Christmas
My son in London gave me a voucher in Sept for my birthday so I bought the Advent beer collection before it sold out again for Christmas. Lots of fun and great beers.

As someone who loves the taste of good beer but now doesn't drink alcohol this was a great selection of some of the best non alcohol beers around.
My husband is very happy with his advent calendar. It was held up as it was damaged in transit but once I let them know, the communication was great and they got it sorted quickly. Would definitely purchase from them again.

Loved the variety of beers and they were all labeled. Great idea of advent calendar for a beer drinker.
What a awesome surprise my husband dad, what good idea, thank you
Boyfriend and dad are loving it so far - such a cool idea!
Nice selection of beers to sample up to the Christmas break, great idea, and a reasonable price.
They even gave me a stubby (can) holder in the box. I've isolated this one beer as the most delightful and memorable from the last assorted box. I'm ordering a box!
