GodsOwn Brewery, Maraekakaho, Hastings 4171, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Over the course of the next 10 years this dream became a brewery, GodsOwn (a play on belonging to Godfrey and being in Godzone), surrounded by a natural environment where families could relax and enjoy themselves.
Godfrey started home brewing in Nigeria. Imported beer was banned and the local beer was a bit of a lucky dip. It had a range from water to petrol! My dad dabbled in a bit of home brew and after a visit to NZ we returned to Nigeria with a ‘kit and kilo’. The initial product was nearly as good as the Nigerian brew! Despite this Godfrey was hooked. Well, isn’t beer great for bringing people together to enjoy life!
