VR, paranoia, and craft beer. Still waiting for the perfect immersive experience.

Heading to Christchurch and Akaroa in a couple of days for a romantic getaway.
So given that there's only so much sex and sightseeing we can possibly do any brewery recommendations will be gratefully received.
Skite!
I know. I'm not as young as I used to be.

Following a night testing craft beers Mrs Antipodean and I went to Ocean Park. There we proceeded onto a VR rollercoaster ride. Real rollercoaster while wearing VR goggles. I was enthralled with the quality and completely forgot I was on a rollercoaster as it climbed higher and higher. Next thing we've reached the top and it's time to hurtle downwards while I'm still looking around. For a good second I thought I was plummeting to my death.
I think that satisfies all three criteria.

@mariner4life I didn't make it there, but did drink a lot of fresh tank pilsener urquell in Prague!

Also, Jever is great beer.

Wigwam brewing is shite.
Kaiapoi stout is ok.
Had to get Garage project and urbanaut ( fucken outstanding ) from the locals bars here.
Akaroa is a beautiful spot
Sounds like you skipped the sex and sightseeing bro
Plenty of both today....one took considerably longer than the other

@Bovidae I thought Murica and Freedom Juice were also Trump themed beers. Dump the Trump & Im-Peach-ment are no longer produced (according to my local)
I enjoyed the former too often but I usually find Sours disappointing. Great at first but quickly wane.
I do like Behemoth

Simply a brand name now. They contract out everything hence the reason they have endless different brews. They just tweak a recipe and draw up a label for it.
The beer is OK but that's because it is made by a fairly good brewery (Epic I think) -
@Crucial Their website says they still brew themselves from their pub in Mt Eden??
After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2019, Behemoth moved into their "forever home". With the help of 635 Chur-holders, a brewpub (Churly's) & production brewery now sit on the corner of Dominion Road and Charles Street. With 24 taps there's plenty of space for trying our most recent brew!
