Welcome to Dead Good Beer & Dead Good Beer Events
Dead Good Beer is one of a new wave of craft brewing companies commonly called a “virtual brewery”. A “virtual brewery is one that contracts an actual brewery to make their beer for them. The level of involvement of the virtual brewery, in the brewing process varies greatly from “Make me a beer” to full hands on brewing. Dead Good Beer falls somewhere in the middle of this scale.

Dead Good Beer Events Ltd, was created in 2007 by local beer enthusiasts Mic Dover and Eelco Boswijk to run regular beer tasting events and beer festivals in the Nelson region. Mic and Eelco are also co-owners of Nelson’s only free house pub, The Free House, untied to any brewery.

Dead Good Beer now in bottles!

The Free House now regularly stocks Dead Good Beers IPA, Pilsner, Porter and Golden Ale on tap - but you can also get bottles of Dead Good Beer with your meals at The Indian Café, Suter Café, La Gourmandise .


You can also get take out 1.25l riggers (see above) from Fresh Choice 100 metres north of the pub on Collingwood St.
