It all started with a simple, if crazy, idea: launch a brewery and release 24 unique beers in 24 weeks. Rather than drip-feed their pale ales and craft lagers into the world, Pete Gillespie and Garage Project co-founders Ian Gillespie (Pete’s brother) and Jos Ruffell would instead unleash a wave of creative brewing upon their hometown of Wellington. This was back in 2011, when the New Zealand capital didn’t have a single craft-beer brewery.
