Smashing day brewing a NZ hopped saison with @SnappaShaw. This 60l batch is being split three ways - one control, one on rhubarb and one secondary fermented with some funky yeast we've captured (stolen). Can't wait to come back and try it next year!

After an enjoyable day exploring Rotorua, this evening has mostly been about searing meat, drinking beer and preparing for tomorrow's homebrew with @SnappaShaw. Looking forward to brewing up a fruited saison with NZ hops to try on my return to the Bay of Plenty next year!

A full house at The Barrel Room in Tauranga tonight for a @BehemothbeerNZ Meet The Brewer. Great to hear from Andrew about the brewery's origins and direction of travel, as well as sampling some excellent beers.

Looking back on the predictions I made in last year's #GoldenPints awards. Craft has kept growing, traditional styles definitely enjoyed a renaissance, and there was certainly a big buyout... beesononbeer.co.uk/the-blog/2017/…

Great to visit @FunkEstate and meet Jordan Evison whilst in Mount Maunganui this afternoon. The former Auckland brewery now shares a production facility with @MOUNTBREWINGCO and the UK is it's largest export market. Another New Zealand beer success story!

Another example of why @FivePointsBrew are probably the most socially conscientious brewery around. Top work guys 👏

Just had to cancel one of my regular commissions because in six months they didn't pay me on time once. Seriously man, this industry is a steaming pile of shit sometimes.

"The brewery takes its name and branding from the Scottish ancestry of Waipu, but is far more forward thinking when it comes to its beers." beesononbeer.co.uk/the-blog/2018/…

@markdredge Do you like lager Mark? You've never mentioned... 😉 Hope the book research is coming along well - I'm off to Vietnam next year so will be after your recommendations!

I've drunk my final bia hoi of this trip to Hanoi and it's confirmed itself as my favourite way and place to drink lager. So unique and fun and friendly and cheap (roughly 30p a glass) plus so much good food all around it.

@ourdoreen @selcamra @AnspachHobday It has been tamed since I recorded this aha. Living dat traveler life.

@BeesonOnBeer @selcamra @AnspachHobday Check out your beard!

Proud to have recorded this little video in support of my buddies at @AnspachHobday who are currently crowdfunding to expand capacity. Make sure to check out their campaign & lend your support!

@PeterMcKerry @Will_Hawkes Happily. It's a very well made lager. Don't @ me.

@PeterMcKerry @Will_Hawkes Fun fact: saying ta mere boit de la Kro in France is equivalent to calling her a prostitute.

@totalcurtis @hopburnsblack @diannespanner @goodbeerhunting @bottlestoprich You should defs check out Rich's shop. Lovely spot.

@Will_Hawkes Won't hear a bad word against Le Kro m8. Quality beer.

@BearcatOnBeer Live footage of you at the airport...

TFW you get invited on the inaugural Brewdog airlines flight to Columbus Ohio but can't attend as you're still in New Zealand...

It's my last night in Auckland tonight. If you ever get a chance to visit make sure to visit some of these excellent bars and breweries, especially @16Tunnz, @VulturesLane and @GalbraithsAles.
