Garage Project is an independent brewery based in Wellington, New Zealand, founded by Pete Gillespie, Jos Ruffell, and Ian Gillespie who started brewing in a former car garage in Aro Valley. The company operates within the manufacturing sector, producing a wide range of beers that emphasize experimentation and boundary-pushing styles, from small-batch releases to larger-scale production. Its approach centers on a garage mentality—creative problem-solving, playful experimentation, and a willingness to reinterpret beer styles—aimed at delivering unique and diverse beverages. Over the years, Garage Project has expanded its portfolio to more than 180 different beers and has gained international recognition for its distinctive approach to brewing. The business targets beer enthusiasts and a broader consumer base open to innovative flavors and unconventional formats, seeking to challenge conventional notions of what beer can be. In addition to its core brewing activities, the company engages with the market through partnerships and events, and it continues to pursue opportunities that broaden its reach within New Zealand and beyond. A notable recent development includes partnerships and recognitions within the industry, reflecting its ongoing role in shaping contemporary beer culture.
