Tuesday Booze

Every tuesday I will post a beer review on NZ beer; I usually try my hardest to find those random small NZ ones so if you are brewery that makes one of those I promise I wont write horrible things about it honest.

Side Launch: Wheat

Second International Special! It has been a good long while between updates but it was worth it! This is the second of the two drinks our very generous and kind guests from Canada brought us on their visit over New… Continue Reading →

Side Launch: Dark Lager

Special International Edition! This was a gift from some very special guests and now very good friends who stayed recently at our Bed & Breakfast in our inaugural summer season. They – being Canadian – felt they needed to bring… Continue Reading →

Garage Project: Touch Wood – Elderflower & Honey Tripel

Its moniker owed to the difficulty in crafting and getting this kind of brew right – I was drawn by the presence of Elderflower in the name. Elderflower was not something I had ever heard of before coming to the… Continue Reading →

Garage Project: Rum & Raisin Barrel-Aged Strong Ale

Tuesday Booze: Garage Project – Pan Pacific

Much like the ANZAC spirit for which this drop was inspired; this golden pale ale is cool combination of loud flavours fighting for attention on your palette  The label boasts flavours reminiscent of an ANZAC biscuit, golden syrup, coconut and… Continue Reading →

Tuesday Booze – Garage Project: Tournesol

I like what Garage Project are doing – unlike Epic who know their bread and butter; preferring to stick to the signature American hope heavy ales.  The lads from Aro Valley are branching out – making a name for themselves… Continue Reading →

Tuesday Booze: Galbraiths – Special Edition Pilsner

Galbraiths used to be my local when I was flatting in the city, many a great time was had there (shout out to the American friend of ours who fell down the stairs) and I have fondly missed it ever… Continue Reading →
