Had a couple of very nice Hazy IPAs over weekend.
Brewtiful Haze (DEEP creek) and Heliopolis Brut double hazy IPA (8.6%)
Both very sessionable, the latter despite being 8.6% went down very easy.
Also had Zeffer Apple Crumble cider, first mouthful was delicious but very sweet after that.

Had a small order arrive from Emerson’s.
Included were some stouts.
Bluffie was, of course, an oyster stout. Emerson’s used to make a Clam Stout that was excellent and this bluff oyster version was just as good as Three Boys OS which is a bit of a benchmark.
The other was a hopped stout. A bit strong and much richer, almost thick and oily. This was like a heavy version of Yeastie Boys PKBBoth excellent brews.
Have a Chardonnay Barrel aged Saison to try too. But probably not on a weeknightBTW if you like Bookbinder as a session beer then ordering their riggers is a much cheaper way to buy. $11 for 1.25 litres (as opposed to the bottle price in most places of about $8 for 500ml.

Good George Apple Pie & Ice Cream Cider - nice drop, not as sweet as the Zeffer
Lenny & Carl Hazy Hop Buddies (Behemoth) - really liked this one
Tina Hazy IPA (Parrotdog) - good drop, was 7%, but not as smooth as the other Hazys I been enjoying.

Just tried both of the Garage Project special Whittaker’s Chocolate beers.
Really interesting. Far more than I expected. Not really beers with a chocolate flavour more slightly beery chocolate drinks.
The White Chocolate with golden raspberry and lemon was quite delicious and I don’t really like white chocolate.
The dark chocolate is for dark bitter choc. lovers only. Like liquified 80% cocoa choc with a hint of coffe mixed with a little stout.
Recommend them both for a taste. -

@MN5 my wife's going and doesn't have one
My other half has told me to stay at my house that night. Apparently I snore and fart lots after big beer sessions. I’m sure she’s imagining it.
Yeah fake news

Is Beervana worth it?
I haven't managed to find anybody else interested... boring fucks all now consider raising children to be more important than quaffing over-priced booze.
But... I'm more than willing to drink alone... just haven't seen much press around this thing, so wasn't sure if it's even worth that. -

Shockingly for a Wellingtonian who loves craft beer I’ve never actually been.
