Steam Brewing Company is a New Zealand microbrewery located in Ōtāhuhu, Auckland. It was founded in October 1995 as the brewery for the Cock & Bull brewpub in East Tāmaki and currently brews beers for the Cock & Bull chain of taverns, as well as the retail beer Epic Pale Ale and several contracted beers including TaaKawa Ale.^[1] and previously (till March 2005) the bottled beers for the Loaded Hog pub chain.^[2]

The original East Tāmaki location was decommissioned in September 2004, and by 2005, Cock & Bull had opened a chain of five taverns. In August 2004, Steam Brewing Company purchased Auckland Breweries to meet increased production demands. This new site contained a 200 bottle per minute glass packaging line, able to fill beer, juice, cider, energy drinks, RTDs and other cold beverages.^{[citation needed]}

October 2007, Steam Brewing Company sold^{[3][better source needed]} the Epic Brewing Company and Epic brand to then Head Brewer / General Manager, Luke Nicholas. The Epic beers continue to be brewed by Steam Brewing Company.
