Speight's Brewery
Speight's, founded in 1876 and famous for its 'Pride of the South' beer. Tours include tastings, and a spring-fed tap outside the wall offers free water.
Speight's Brewery is one of New Zealand's oldest breweries. It was established in 1876 in central Dunedin, and its signature beer, 'Pride of the South', is known across the country. The brewery tour lasts about 90 minutes and covers the brewing process and history. It ends with a tasting of several beers (guests must be 18 or over). The tour costs around NZ$35 (check the official website). On the outside wall is a public tap fed by underground spring water, and locals often come to fill bottles for free. Next door, the Speight's Ale House serves meals with freshly brewed beer. It is about a 5-minute walk from the Octagon.
