SPONSORSHIPS + PARTNERSHIPS

We owe much of our success as a Brewery and Taverns to the communities we’re a part of – without them, we wouldn’t be here brewing award-winning craft beer and cider.

As a way of giving back to the communities who have supported us since our humble beginnings, we’re delighted to sponsor and partner with various sports and other organisations in Nelson, Tasman, Wellington and Christchurch regions.

DANCING FOR A CAUSE

As a major fundraiser for the Nelson Tasman Hospice, we were more than happy to be involved with Dancing for a Cause 2023 as a bronze sponsor.

As exclusive beer and cider sponsor, we supplied a range of beer and cider for the big night in May.

In addition, we were the individual sponsor behind Ben Douglas – part-owner of Sprig + Fern Tahuna – who absolutely nailed his performance on the night!

We’re delighted to be a gold-level partner of the NBS Nelson Giants for the 2023/2024 NZNBL seasons.

NELSON MOUNTAIN BIKE CLUB

Nothing beats a cold beer after an exhilarating ride – and given we serve exactly that in Sprig + Fern Taverns, a partnership with NMTBC was a no-brainer.

We’ve been involved with the Club for many years, most recently as bronze sponsor. That means, as well as supporting the Club, you’ll often find Sprig + Fern beer and cider being enjoyed, or as prizes, at NMTBC events.

Sprig + Fern Milton Street also offer NMTBC members food and drink specials every Wednesday between 6pm-9pm.

RICHMOND FOOTBALL CLUB

Given our brewing team is filled with football lovers, partnering with the club who’s based only a stone’s throw from the Brewery made Richmond FC an obvious match.

We’re delighted to be the major sponsor of the Club, and to be serving a range of beer and cider at the clubrooms. You’ll also find our logo throughout the clubrooms, on some of the playing uniforms, plus some of the Sprig + Fern Taverns also sponsor teams!

To keep runners motivated at a time of year when sitting inside seems the sensible option, we’re delighted to support the Sprig + Fern 10K Series, hosted each year by Waimea Harriers.

Our support extends to social sports too – so we’re proud to be the naming rights and major sponsor of Walking Football, which embodies just that.

Walking Football Nelson encourage all ages to reap the mental and physical health benefits of being involved in active sport again – and are as much about the social aspect and the after match.

We are a Brewery after all, and our beer is best enjoyed socially!
