Apologies if this has been linked before, but http://www.hashigozake.co.nz/ looks like it's well worth a visit.

And bonus of bonuses - it's just over the road from my office.

As pointed out on facebook, silly muppet, Hashigo is great. And one of our own works there. Should make that the bar for next wellington drinks.

I would be keen to check it out

Love it, spend way too much money there last weekend but it was worth every tasty, tasty drop.

[Ngati_Grim]

Yep, it's a good one alright.

They're about a kilometre down the rogue road from us.

Just be careful, aye?

I loves Beer, those beer balls you get from the mill are alright for $3.50.

I'm not much into the boutiquey type beers atm.... maybe when the kids get a little older and I can escape more for a quiet drop...

A couple of the nicer drops I've had recently
#1 Kronenbourg 1664 --> http://www.k1664.com/


Was a very nice drop I quite enjoyed it... particularly after pretty hectic schedule of meetings in Taiwan, was just the thing when we got back to Hong Kong for the night... In fact we forgot to eat as we were enjoying the beer too much.

#2 Fat Tyre --> http://www.newbelgium.com/beer/detail.aspx?id=7c5b394b-d7b7-486a-ac9a-316256a7b0ee


Had a few too many of these on most nights while up in Denver.... another nice brew....

Awesome 10.9% beast, about halfway though the 650ml so far...

^ Medieaval bastard

I've got four, no three (broke one) of these glasses now, come with a four pack for $15 dollars at Cuntdown, which is eminently better thsan $12 for a glass at the Belgian Beer Bar.

Damn good fun!

They had Kronenburg on tap at North Shore Golf Club at the weekend, so who was i to refuse?
 
This thread reminded me of how much i drank over the Christmas break, but i got through a bit of Kingfisher (great with a curry). We used to drink Warsteiner by the truckload in Germany and got paid many a visit by the bedroom gorilla.
 
I've just latched onto some Pirate Beer (it's a long story) from PaknSave. It's 8.5% of headwalloping fun - i've just dropped it into the fridge.

[Ngati_Grim]

Try Kingfisher Strong...only seen it in a 500mL can, but it is veritable goodness _b

[Speakman]

aaahhh pirate beer.

[Menial]

I was at the Te Araroa Hunting and Fishing Club over the break, Lion Red swappa bottles for only $6.5.  Mean Maori Mean.

Oz and Hugh Raise the Bar is a tour of British pubs, with the Oz Clarke and Hugh Dennis competing in stupid competitions to earn drinks which will feature in their bars at the end of the series. Good laugh and interesting drink knowledge.
