Garage Project started as a very small brewery in New Zealand by Pete Gillespie, Jos Ruffell and Pete’s brother Ian. Pete established his Garage Project after decades of experience working in breweries across Australia and the UK. "He’s (Jos) not a brewer, but his unshakable passion for beer, for thinking outside the box and asking if is there a better, more creative way of doing things makes him every bit as important to the Project as the guy who mashes in the morning (me)." - Pete "To start the Garage Project without Ian’s involvement was never considered by Pete or myself. After all, it was Pete who got Ian into craft beer, to then pass the bug down to me! " - Jos Source: Garage Project NZ
