The Puhoi Axeman’s Festival at the historic Puhoi Pub is an event like no other. For the past two years, Puhoi Beer has proudly sponsored this iconic gathering in the heart of Puhoi. The festival honours the hard work, community spirit, and rich history of the Bohemian settlers who made this village their home over 150 years ago. Learn more about the history of Puhoi Beer.
A Festival Rooted in the History of Puhoi
The Puhoi Axeman’s Festival is much more than just a competition. It’s a tribute to the pioneering spirit of the original Bohemian settlers who arrived in New Zealand in the mid-19th century. These immigrants faced immense challenges as they carved out a life in the dense, bush-clad land. Their resilience, determination, and camaraderie laid the foundations for the vibrant, close-knit community that Puhoi is today.
Puhoi Beer: Brewed in the Spirit of Hard Work
The sponsorship of the Puhoi Axeman’s Festival by Puhoi Beer is a perfect match. Our Czech-style pilsner is inspired by those same Bohemian settlers who embodied hard work and perseverance. The care and craftsmanship we pour into every brew mirror the dedication these settlers put into building their new lives in New Zealand. Discover more about our Czech-style pilsner here.
Our award-winning pilsner isn’t just a drinkable lager; it’s a lager with character. It reflects the tenacity and rich cultural heritage of Puhoi’s founders. At Puhoi Beer, we believe in celebrating flavour, community spirit, and shared achievements.
