Two Thumb Brewing Co

Opportunity

Two Thumb Brewing Co gives you the chance to own a thriving local venue under one of New Zealand’s most loved independent craft beer brands. With five successful venues already operating across Christchurch, our proven model blends community connection, great beer, and authentic hospitality.

As a franchise partner, you won’t be brewing, our beer is expertly crafted and delivered direct from our solar-powered brewery. Your focus will be on running a welcoming, high-energy taproom where people come together for live music, events, and good conversation over a fresh pint.

We’ll help you find the perfect site, support your fit-out and launch, and back you with ongoing operational support, marketing, and training. With a strong and recognisable brand, seasonal beer releases, and a loyal following, you’ll be stepping into a system built for long-term success.

If you’re passionate about creating spaces that locals love, Two Thumb could be your next big move.
