SOBA NZ

@SeanTick @DevilsPeakBeer @Aegir_Project @littlewolfbeer @LucyCorne @HashtagBeerTime I'm sure if he went to Cape Town he'd definitely hit them up. Thanks for the suggestions

I feel bad for Neil from the last issue of “Pursuit of Hoppiness” by @sobanz if these were the only beers he got to try on a visit to South Africa! Missed out on @DevilsPeakBeer @Aegir_Project and @littlewolfbeer and I’ll try my hardest to remedy it by muling some back from SA!

@mcleodsbrewery @JBmcleods Well done team!

For those still on holiday this summer, check out the excellent summer road trips article by @mjwdonaldson in the Pursuit of Hoppiness. I have verified @8wiredbrewing at Matakana and @mcleodsbrewery at Waipu are definitely worth the trip. <GG> soba.org.nz/wordpress/wp-c…

Nice to walk into The Barrel Room and have a bottle and an honoured member pin waiting for me. Thanks @sobanz

A privilege to be present for the handing out of this year's Wellington @sobanz awards last night. Congratulations to @BonefaceBrewer for picking up Wellington Beer of the Year, & my friends at @LBQWelly & Shepherd for picking up Bar and Restaurant of the year respectively.

Show of interest - who would be keen for an overnight trip to Hawkes Bay Beer Appreciation Day and GodsOwn Brewery's hop harvest? 9/10 March

@annikakes @gabsfestival If not that at least it’s a good distraction!

@sobanz @gabsfestival The best pain killer/medicine? 🍻

Day started great with coffee in the spa pool. I just stayed in too long and after I got out, got lightheaded and fell over by the door. Cracked the outside of my ankle on the paving stones. Super sore. @gabsfestival should be interesting...

It’s @gabsfestival time! If you’re hopping on the @sobanz bus from Britomart it leaves at 11:15am sharp from Commerce and Tyler. The lovely @mgbridges will be your bus conductor. Priority boarding for SOBA members so have those cards ready! 🍺🍺
