Garage Project emerged as a humble brewery in New Zealand, founded by Pete Gillespie, Jos Ruffell, and Pete's brother, Ian. Pete's extensive background in breweries across Australia and the UK laid the groundwork for Garage Project, while Jos, though not a brewer himself, infused the project with his boundless enthusiasm for beer and innovative thinking. According to Pete, Jos's knack for pushing boundaries and exploring creative avenues is just as vital to the Project as the brewing itself. Similarly, Jos emphasizes the indispensable role Ian played, as it was Pete who introduced him to craft beer, igniting a passion that would eventually be passed down to Jos.
