🎁 Give the Gift of… Gin! 🍸✨

Looking for a Christmas present that actually blows people away? Treat someone to a hands-on 3-hour gin distilling experience at Cargo Collective — the perfect blend of creativity, flavour, and a whole lot of fun.

They’ll dive into the world of botanicals, learn the wild (and wonderful) history of gin, and craft their very own unique recipe — all guided by our expert team.

And because good things come in tasty packages, we’re keeping them fuelled with snacks and a curated gin tasting board throughout the session. 😍

To top it all off, they’ll design a signature cocktail inspired by their creation and take home a personalised 250ml or 500ml bottle of their custom gin.

📅 Gift vouchers available now on our website — and the lucky recipient can book whatever date suits them!

A Christmas gift they’ll remember long after the last sip. 🎄🍸

Did the South Island Beer Festival sell out before you grabbed a ticket?

Don’t worry — you can still sip something special!
Our All Glory To Garston, Southern IPA is pouring fresh tomorrow from 12–6pm at the Brew Hall.

Loaded with Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops from our friends at Garston Hops, it highlights all the beauty that the our favourite area has to offer. 🍺🌿
