The production of West Coast beer brand Monteith’s could be moved out of Greymouth and into other regions.
DB Breweries is proposing to move its commercial production but keep the gastropub and brewery experience in operation.
The Monteith’s brand existed since 1990, and it’s roots go back to the Monteith family who owned breweries in the area from 1927.
The Greymouth brewing building dates back to 1868.
In a statement the DB Breweries said it needed to streamline its operations and deal with the impact of Covid-19.
“Due to the complexity of moving raw materials to Greymouth, and then transporting finished product out, it is unfortunately no longer commercially viable given the relatively small volumes that have been produced in Greymouth,” it said.
Monteith’s has been brewed around the country for many years, it added.
