Garage Project Taproom

Wellington


The actual Garage Project brewery occupies a former petrol station just down the road (68 Aro St), serving beer by the litre, petrol-pump style. If you'd rather consume your brew in less industrial quantities, head to this stylish little bar with 18 taps. Chance your arm on the Snug Juice stout or Fugazi session ale.
