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. You can learn about the brewers and rate their beer with the tasting guide included in every box, and 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.

A beer you can savour while also not worry about how many you have had after work
My mate, who brews his own, was really happy to have a selection of different beers to chose from.
Ordered, delivered on time and enjoyed.
That Martin is a clever wee fker. he makes a fine brew!
Magnificent - very easy and efficient process ... and great beer!
I really enjoyed this brew, it’s hard to pin down the final aftertaste for me personally but the hops shine through in a very pleasant way but over powering.
After mowing the lawns this fine brew definitely smashed me over after consuming 3 well chilled cans and I had to have a nana nap haha
Don’t think I’ve ever seen another beer out there brewed as a memorial.
Well done Badass Beverages, you nailed this one.

Sawmill always produce good quality crafties.
I bought my husband a subscription for Christmas and he is loving it. It forces him to try new beers that he may not have looked at and he enjoys opening the box each month to see what is in there. It saves me reading the different cans in the supermarket trying to choose as well. It has a lot of his favourite style of beer with some tasters of other styles so he can drink according to what he feels like. The service has been great- emails to say it is coming and a tracking number so you know they are on their way each month. A good gift for the 'hard to buy for' person.
Another good box. I don’t like lager or pilsener (yuk) but the Mexican Lager from Good George in the ‘Tron was delicious. Tasty, nice on the mouth and a pleasant 4.8% so you can chug on a few more watching the footy or at a bbq and feel sorry for the poor blokes still drinking Corona.
Also please never ever include wheat beers ever again, I’d rather drink a cup of cold sick
Always a pleasure to taste of of the various beers
