The site selected for the Regal King Salmon farms have been carefully chosen to ensure that every harvest produces a consistent level of excellence.

High oil content means the salmon has wonderful rich flavour. The deep orange colour makes for exceptional plate presentation and the colour is retained even after cooking.

Antipodes Sparkling Water

The meaning of the word antipodes is at the very heart of our water – it is quite literally poles apart.To us it represents both a place of origin and an attitude to everything we stand for.

OUR NATURAL HOME Far beneath the earth’s surface at a depth of 327m is the natural home of Antipodes; an artesian aquifer composed of silica rich ignimbrite rock. Assessed as New Zealand’s deepest high quality water source, it exists under such immense geological pressure that the water flows naturally all the way to the surface. Its measured age at bottling is between 50 to 300 years.

Antipodes water is exceptionally pure and needs only a simple microfiltration before bottling. No sterilisation, no additives, no industrial cleansing and processing. Our bottling line is state of the art and our quality testing rigorous - their sole purpose is to ensure the water in our bottles is unaltered from the purity of its origins.We bottle only Antipodes at our source – nothing more and nothing less.

Andy and Brian, both natives of Southern California, had one goal in mind - to produce stunning beers in a region more renowned for the excellence of its wines. Spurred on by the winemakers mantra that it takes a lot of beer to make a great wine, as well as the amount of distinguished palates within the region, they set about their task with aplomb.

Zeffer Cider Company

Our cider making journey began in 2008 with Sam and Hannah throwing in their day jobs with the (some said crazy) idea to craft real New Zealand cider from freshly crushed apples in a small shed in Matakana.

The first ever batch of Zeffer was sold at their local Farmers’ Market to rave reviews. It was so popular they began stocking a few local stores and soon the word spread far and wide about just how good their cider was. And so, the team grew a bit bigger, tanks grew a bit bigger and eventually we moved Zeffer to Hawke’s Bay – the home of sunshine and apples! We’re proud of our small team and the calibre of cider we’re producing – real, all-natural cider crafted by a few friends from the best ingredients.

We’ve experimented with flavours, won awards (including the World’s Best Cider in 2017) and shown the world just how good New Zealand cider can be. Zeffer is now pouring in all corners of the globe and every drop begins its journey at our cidery.

Good Buzz Kombucha

JULY 2014 After months of experimentation,Amber and Alex thought it was time to leave the software world behind and start Good Buzz, setting up a factory in Wainuiomata.

DECEMBER 2014 - MARCH 2015 Excited to introduce Wellingtonians to our amazing brew we did the farmers’ market circuit doing up to 4 markets in a weekend.

26 OCTOBER 2017 Lion - Beer, Spirits & Wine NZ comes to Good Buzz looking for a kombucha to add to their portfolio and becomes a 25% shareholder.

Foxton Fizz

Back when most small towns made their own local soda, our little factory started up its machines in 1918, bringing our fizz to Foxton.

For an entire century we’ve stayed in our hometown Foxton, operating from our factory on 8 Whyte Street. What started as a local drink soon became a familiar offering in lunch bars and hotels, and a staple at family gatherings and celebrations.We’ve always been there, delivering our fizz around New Zealand in our now iconic wooden crates.

Starting as a family business, Foxton Fizz passed through a number of hands in the Perreau family. Over the years since, the international soda drink manufacturers, with their slick marketing and cut price methods, dominated to such a degree that almost every local bottler and their uniquely kiwi brands are now only memories.

So when Murray Perreau decided that he needed to call it a day, and the doors could be been shut forever a near tragedy took place. Luckily a group of friends from Wellington got together and bought Foxton Fizz, ensuring this iconic brand could survive.

With consumers showing a renewed interest in unique brands, Foxton Fizz continues to gain in popularity and can be found in great cafes and New Worlds all over New Zealand.

Hakanoa Ginger Beer

The company was originally set up because it was felt there were no soft drinks truly suitable for adult palates, something more interesting than water, good with food, not too sweet.

Although company owner Rebekah had no previous food production experience, she had always been an avid food and drink enthusiast admiring the slow food movement and the return to traditional methods. She baked sourdough bread at home for over 10 years and has always been fascinated by the fermentation process and the flavours it produces.

Essentially her love of sourdough is what gave birth to the idea of producing ginger beers fermented with a wild culture on a commercial scale. The culture used has a high count of lactobacilli and produces flavours and quenchiness that cannot be matched by mere carbonated soft drinks.

It’s taken a lot of research and development to achieve consistent results from their brews.The results are great and worth the long search.

Phoenix Organics

Phoenix was one of the first organic drink companies in New Zealand when we kicked off in 1986. Founded in the garage of a few friends - Phoenix beverages first appeared in the form of an organic, brewed Ginger Beer.

Since then we have expanded into tonnes of different types of drinks from Organic Juice to Infused Sparkling Water, to Chai Syrup for your coffee. Given it’s now 2020, it’s fair to say that Phoenix has been a part of the lives of Kiwi generations for 34+ years!

It’s been one hell of a ride with some real highlights such as throwing Phoenix festivals in Kingsland, getting amongst all the colours of Splore festival and the swag of NZ Fashion Week. Plus, cleaning up rubbish off Rangitoto island and supporting friends on their missions to conquer the world; such as pro surfer Ricardo Christie.

Our most proud partnership however is undoubtedly with Sustainable Coastlines – a charity who roll up their sleeves to protect our beaches and waterways. We are a brand that cares about Kiwi’s and our natural environment.
