Craft beer maker Epic Brewing Company goes into liquidation – Stuff

Auckland craft beer brewer Epic Brewing Company has gone into liquidation.

Companies Office records show the business was placed into liquidation by a special resolution of shareholders on Tuesday.

Damien Grant and Adam Botterill of Waterstone Insolvency were appointed liquidators.

Owner Luke Nicholas developed the Epic brand in 2005 while working as head brewer for the Steam Brewing Company, the brewing arm of the Cock and Bull pubs in Auckland in Hamilton.

In 2007 Nicholas and a silent partner bought the Epic brand from the Cock and Bull and continued to use its brewing facility and supply its four pubs.
