The Cargo Collective is a craft brewery and distillery located in Queenstown, Otago. The venue combines a Brew Hall, a production brewery, and an on-site distillery, creating a single destination for tastings and behind-the-scenes exploration. Visitors can opt for a Self Guided Tasting in the Brew Hall, an intimate Brewery Tour | Brewer’s Table led by the Head Brewer, or the Brewery Tour | Journey of Exploration that moves through the Brew Hall, brewery, and distillery. Each experience includes a curated flight of four beers and contextual tasting notes that highlight flavor profiles and brewing choices.
Booking options include public and private reservations suited for individuals, couples, and small groups. Guided tours are led by trained staff, with the Head Brewer introducing brewing philosophy, recipes, fermentation, and equipment in accessible terms for newcomers and beer enthusiasts alike. The Self Guided Tasting provides a flexible, self-paced way to sample beers while observing the brewing environment in the Brew Hall. The presence of both brewery and distillery on-site broadens the range of flavors available during tours.
