Beer in Wellington
Its really annoying when we reading in other blogs about how bad it is to find good beer in New Zealand. Where are all these people living - here in Wellington we can get hold of a wider selection of British, Belgian, German, Czech beers than we could in the UK and all from the same place - Regional Wines at the Basin Reserve, Wellington. Better still, once a month we go to a Beer Tasting evening there. There is a different "subject" each month ie, British, Belgian, etc., we get to try at least 7 beers over the evening and vote on our favourite at the end. Its a good laugh and great way to try new beers. So don't believe anyone who tells you that European beer styles are scarce - rubbish! Off to the Christmas tasting there tomorrow night (3 December 08) will report on that later. As well as these monthly tastings, there are loads of micro breweries brewing great products you just need to get out there and buy the stuff.
