Check out the Sprig & Fern tavern, they sell all the Tasman Brewery beers in riggers. Some are pretty nice.

Yep - We do riggers at The Moutere Inn. We sell by the half litre so if you bring in a vessel we'll fill it uo for you. Alternatively we recycle all the plastic coke/lemonade 1.5L bottles as riggers for beer.

OK - Fresh Choice in Nelson has the best range of beers, NZ and imported.
The Moutere Inn (as already noted) has a range of craft beers on tap/engine, but is a good 20mins drive out of Richmond.
The Free House, opposite the Indian Cafe, on Collingwood, Nelson, has now opened with about 10-12 craft beers on tap/engine.
All three of these venues are well worth the visit.

Also, all of the local breweries provide their own product locally as follows
Tasman Brewing at any of the 3 Sprig and Fern pubs (2 Nelson, 1 Richmond) or from the brewery in Richmond
Founders, at Founders Park, Nelson
Golden Bear, in Mapua
Monkey Wizard, in Riwaka
Mine, at my place, Atawhai/Nelson :)
Bays, in industrial Stoke/Nelson (although I have had some mixed results from them)
