The Laboratory

Tasty craft beers and pizza (l,d; $$)

You’re going to have to head 23km out of the Christchurch CBD to Lincoln, but for craft beer-heads it’ll be worth it. There’s an intriguing vibe as The Laboratory building was constructed from recycled building materials rescued after the earthquakes.

The Laboratory mixes eclectic craft beer with tasty wood-fired pizzas. Some of the beers are not for the faint-hearted - such as the ENA Milk Stout, named after Ena Sharples of Coronation St fame. Galileo’s Golden Lager is our pick.

Get a tasting tray. Guest beers and ciders available too.
