Wellington brewery Parrotdog is looking to expand into Auckland.

The brewery is seeking up $4 million in capital raise to fund this brand expansion, and have already received $1.2 million towards this goal.

Parrotdog Brewery managing director Paul Watson says he's happy with how the raise is progressing and looks forward to a strong finish.

Paul Watson is confident that there's demand for craft beer in Australia and New Zealand, despite global interest declining over the last three years.
