Nelson
is at the heart of New Zealand’s hop growing region and is
the epicentre of the Kiwi craft brewing industry. The Free House
is Nelson’s first pub of its kind - our goal is to 'set the
beers free' - meaning we aim to offer you an endlessly changing
menu of local and national craft beers. We are the only pub in Nelson
serving cask-conditioned real ales.

first free house pub is the brainchild of Dead
Good Beer Events, the creators of the ‘Nelson Beer Fêtes’
held quarterly at Founders Heritage Park and the annual MarchFest
hops and music festival.
