Moa Brewing Company

The Moa Brewing Company is a New Zealand brewery located in the Marlborough Region of New Zealand. It was founded in 2003 by Josh Scott, the son of winemaker Allan Scott.[1] In 2007, the boutique beer-maker hired David Nicholls, ex-Heineken head brewer.[2] Operations received financial support from an initial public offering in 2012.[2] Initial plans to build their own brewery with the funds from their initial public offering were paused after the proposed brewery suffered from protracted negotiations over resource consenting issues. Moa have subsequently boosted production through a contract with another brewery.[3]

Moa's management and directors came under some criticism from Milford Asset Management, a NZ Fund manager, as the share price fell from its listing price of $1.25 to 55c in July 2014.[4]

Founder Josh Scott completed a Diploma in Viticulture and Wine Production from the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology[2] and in 2015 he became New Zealand's only Certified Cicerone. [5]
