About Us
Grow & Brew has been helping Kiwi growers, brewers & distillers get stuck into their hobbies since 2007, originally operating as Northern Hydroponics before evolving into the Grow & Brew stores our customers know today.
In mid-February 2026, the business entered a new chapter under new Kiwi ownership — with a fresh focus on great service, trusted products, and creating stores that feel welcoming whether you’re completely new to the hobby or have been doing it for years.
From home brewing beer, wine, cider & spirits to indoor growing, hydroponics and horticulture, we’re passionate about helping people make good things at home. That means practical advice, quality gear, fair prices, and a team that genuinely enjoys helping customers get the most out of their setup.
With stores in Silverdale, Henderson & Waipapa, we’re proud to be locally owned and community focused — supporting growers and brewers across New Zealand with products we trust and advice we’d happily give our mates.
Whether you’re pulling your first brew, building your first grow tent, or fine-tuning a setup you’ve spent years working on — we’re here to help.
Anyone Can Grow and Brew!
You don’t need to be an expert to make something great at home. With the right gear, a bit of patience, and some honest advice along the way, anyone can pull a great brew or build a thriving grow setup.
That’s what we love about these hobbies — there’s something genuinely satisfying about creating it yourself. And once you do, there’s a good chance you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner.
Some people get into it to save money. Some really love learning something new. Others just enjoy the process of slowing down, getting hands-on, and making something they can genuinely be proud of. Whatever gets you started, we’re here to help you enjoy the journey and get good results along the way.
At the end of the day, Grow & Brew is about more than products on shelves — it’s about helping people create, experiment, learn new skills, and have a bit of fun doing it.
