What colour was the label @Nepia?
I only like the blue labelled Panhead
i like the orange one, Supercharger?
-
@Nepia I have never seen a red labelled one. Only Blue, Orange and Yellow.
@mariner4life I'm a bit rubbish with stronger craft beers. They knock me about a bit much

Maybe it was actually orange ... it was about hour 4 in the stag party.

a night of Panhead Superchargers fucked me over well and truly. At the time they go down as smooth as any other beer but fuck me the hangover the next day was horrific. Ex dropped the boys round pretty early, let's just say alot of the day was spent watching youtube/gaming.
outstanding drop but Lakeman is even better I reckon.

First, I must make a confession, I am a massive craft beer piston wristed gibbon but no, I don't have a beard or skinny jeans. Been into craft beer for well over a decade and still can't get enough. Favourite styles right now are: IPA's, IIPA's, IIIPA's and NEIPA's.
Been a huge fan of NZ crafties and have tried quite a few. Recently, I've been getting a fair few of the Deep Creek brews over here in Aus which is awesome. Big fan of their Brewtiful Haze NEIPA but at $35-39 for a 4 pack of 440 ml cans so very expensive. Just wondering how much they are there in NZ?
On my last visit to NZ in Jan/Feb 18, I tried to get to as many breweries as possible as well as tasting as many local brews as I could.
The highlights for me were:
Auckland
Visiting Deep Creek on Auckland's North Shore, what a great venue, awesome beers.The Brewers Co-operative in Auckland city, went there with my cousin, stayed for many more than planned. So many taps and the food is pretty damn good too, I can recommend the clams. We went from here to the Brothers Beer, had a couple and went, nah, and straight back to the Brewers Co-operative.
Wellington
When in Welly, there really is only one place that has to be on everyone's itinerary - Garage Project. Nirvana!A new brewery at the time and I spent some time chatting with them at that years Wellington Wine, Food and Craft Beer festival is Fortune Favours, really enjoyed their beers. Got an invite to their new location at the time and we spent one hell of an afternoon there.

They probably need to work on the beer compared to others.

Stuff that for an investment. Looks like they are making something like $150k profit on a $4.5M turnover. That's a blazing 3%. I am highly highly skeptical of any crowdfunding for this sort of thing; bloody Burger Fuel tried it, and their prospectus was 'if you like burgers, give us money'.
Running a brew pub ain't straightforward and there's shedloads of competition. running a brewery is damn hard work,a nd there's lots of competition. There isn't much money in this.
Anyhoo, good luck to them, but don't expect to make any serious coin from it. Invest for the love ... but there are probably better places to drop you hard earned.

pretty sure ParrotDog did a crowdfunding thing a few years back too

They make some nice brews.
I have been drinking a bit of it (for free) over here as they have tapped into the UK market via NZ Beer Collective (Tuatara, 8 Wired, Yeastie Boys, Nomad, Parrotdog)Selling volume is the key to surviving the crowded market and producing said volume is the challenge. YBs had a few false starts as contract brewers let them down which must have been a real shitter for them as they had secured distribution through Majestic Wines and Waitrose, both of which add up to decent volume.

Drank some beer tonight. That is all, just reporting in.
Fucking cheers to you bro, well done.
I had a wine.

did you smell the beer before drinking it?
Also, this weekend is GABS in auckland. It's going to be awesome - something like 90 odd beers, and a bunch of food trucks, and places to sit down.

Those days sound great in theory but do any beers really stand out after the first 10 or so ?

eh, if I can try 10-15 beers I'm a super happy camper.
I was going to write a 'post from the future' about the day, filled with joy, unicorns, skittles and haziness (both beer and eyesight). You get the picture though.
I've taught my lad to troll with 'all beers taste pretty much the same to me'. Would be gold to put on a T shirt for the weekend

A mate of mine is a massive beer piston wristed gibbon and when he was rather hammered we substituted his Panhead Stout for Speights old dark.
He frowned but didn't seem to notice.
Panhead Stout is absolutely outstanding but Speights Old Dark is not without it's merits, certainly compared to Speights Gold.
