Dux De Lux Brewpub in Queenstown

 

Dux De Lux has two brewpubs on the South Island (the other is in Christchurch). The brewing system is a 1000 liter fermenter, similar to that in use at McDuff's in Dunedin. The building that houses the brewery was built as a family cottage in 1882 and expanded to its current footprint in the 1980's.
