It's about family. A subject that after 78 years in a family run business, we at Glengarry hold close to our hearts.
First brewed in December 2005, Auckland's Epic Beer was purchased in 2007 by Luke and Wendy Nicholas.
The iconic and innovative brand is one of the foundation companies of New Zealand’s craft brewing industry, treasured far and wide for its hop-driven brews. Epic's Armageddon remains the country's most-awarded IPA.
After some testing times, Epic went into liquidation in July, 2023, thanks to financial pressures arising from Covid's malign influence, rising production costs and delays in obtaining consents to develop its brewery and tap room in Mt Wellington. Step up our Jakicevich family and the Russell family, who have combined forces to buy the company and ensure that this, "game changer brand, developed by a family owned business" doesn't disappear.
Didas Wine Lounge is now proudly pouring Epic beers.
