A really great pub/restaurant. Food is good but not outstanding. What makes this pub so special is their selection of boutique beers.....the best of the best. Appart from selling their own great beers, they also sell a few other top boutique brands, among others Emersons, arguably the best beer to be found in New Zealand. (Nomsa - See my reviews (3) - January, 2008)

"Our table of four started with the mezze plate: warm, crusty bread, good tabbouleh,salad to sink a ship, figs, olives, and spicy hummus. My favourite part of the menu? The color-coded key to ordering the best beer match for your food. Host responsibility par excellence..."

NA, The Sunday Star Times - October 2006

"A genuine free house, the Twisted Hop also offers a range of beers from other New Zealand craft brewers...The selection includes several beers..."

NA, Beer Magazine - July 2006

"...Because it contains living yeast and undergoes its final fermentation in the cask, real ale needs careful attention and handling in the cellar. Unlike modern lager beer, on arrival at the pub a cask of real ale must first be allowed to settle and then be vented... Each of the beers has an appetising "leafy" herbal hop character..."

Marlborovgh, The Malborough Express - January 2006

"...The Twisted Hop serves English bitter in the traditional cask-conditioned manner, out of 40 litre stainless firkins. The chiller is set at 10 degrees and the beer that ends ip in the glass is special even before you taste it..."

Carl Hadler, The Christchurch Press - December 2005

"While the pub is unique to Christchurch, the brewing of the beer is predominantly English by treadition. The Twisted Hop is one of only two breweries of its kind in New Zealand...Beer is not only attraction. From onion bhaji and vegetarian pizza to traditional bangers and mash and ribeye steak, the bar's eclectic cuisine will tempt most palates. It also has a children's and dessert menu..."

NA, The Christchurch Press - October 2005

"...The bar could hold up to 1500 patrons...Thirty ectra security staff have been employed and bar staff significantly boosted... The pub brews four beers on site..."

NA, The Christchurch Press - June 2005

“...the smooth texture continued to the finish where the alcohol richness mixed with a good dose of hop bitterness that cleaned up and rode off into the sunset with the caramel, roasted-malt flavours. The flavours were clean and well balanced with a warning sensation perfect for these colder wintermonths. This is a very drinkable beer, attractive, fresh, tasty and well balanced. Impressive.”

NA, The Christchurch Press - June 2005

"A warm pub with a buzzing atmosphere is always a welcome haven when the dreaded north-easterly wind blasts through the centre of Christchurch..."

Kristi Gray, The Christchurch Press - April 2005

"For those who prefer wine there's a good eclectic list. You will find a wine you really enjoy and the best thing about their wine list is that all wines can be served by glass. It's a great opportunity to try something new...Twisted Hop is a pub that you can really wind down in..."
