damn - I've just learned Brothers Beer has opened a new bar in my hood.
Nice in some ways! To be honest, I've found their beer to be quite disappointing and grossly overpriced. I bought a 1L jug last time I was at their city works depot , and was charged over forty bucks! For a litre!
I'm voting with my feet, supporting non hipster bars now
The Southern X in welly charges 48 bucks for a jug of Craft beer but it’s one of those big ones which can easily fill four handles with a bit left over. 40 bucks for a litre is ridiculous.
yeah, for a pitcher of 2.2L or so I get that. But a litre? FFS.

The price of drinking out is starting to get ridiculous for sure. All the breweries at the Newtown festival had the price about right, 8-10$ for a plastic cup. When you’re paying 14-15$ a handle it gets pretty hard to justify.

I brew because I enjoy it, but it doesn't take too much beer at around $2/litre to pay off a shiny stainless steel brewery.

Handle? One (sniffs first) drinks their craft beer from a tasting glass surely?
Doom Bar, c'est non?

'ansome, me lover! I'll be there drektly for a pint, er, glass.

@nzzp I have to concur The Birkenhead joint had sold out of the only Brothers I really rate. Price points on the beers looked OK $11-13 / glass - until I asked and found out the glass was 330 mls.
Jugs weren't quite as bad as you found in the city but 31-33 for a litre is still a joke.
I might go again as the food menu looked interesting but otherwise there is no temptation to walk a km past a freehouse with better beer in bigger glasses for the same price and where they give me a 10% discount or even the, even closer, gastro pub that has panhead for $41 for 1.8 litres and where I also get a 10% loyalty discount.

@voodoo also, i find Dans craft beer selection to be pretty ordinary, and hit up First Choice as a better option
Dans is fucking great for Red Wine though
I'm a bit of a heathen/amateur at craft beer, I tend to just buy Crankshaft cos I know it's great

Perhaps he meant the Tuis lurking far right corner?

Fresh hop day today in Auckland. 5 pubs, fresh hop beers, a bus. I'd call it a pub crawl, but that doesn't sound classy enough.
Tempted to report on the ratio of full beards to women, but will just drink with my mates instead It won't fill the bitter ball of disappointment the Blues leave in me, but it'll help

Le bus de l'alcool? Le bustour de la lamentation?

The bus was literally called the brew bus. Go figure 😀

Beervana had an astonishing amount of decent women to perve at last year. I’m hoping Brew Day follows suit.
