@Kruse I expect that is similar of most spirits...
Cheap nasty Whisky/ey compared to a good quality drop, cheap nastyl vodka vs a quality drop...
That said, I'll take your word for it on the Tequila haha
Seconded. Apparently the stuff I had was good quality. would hate to try the shit stuff.
Back in my uni days we would mix it up with lime and shoot it from water guns, or just do laybacks. I can't see the sense in letting it swill around in my mouth any longer than it must
Vodka and Rum are my go to spirits and I'm pretty happy having bog standard cheap stuff. the Lion Brown/Tui equivalent.
I love a vodka and lemonade or a rum and coke particularly.

Tequila brand Jose Cuervo has launched an all-you-can-drink tequila train experience that travels from Guadalajara to Tequila, Mexico.
Tickets start at NZ$160 and are promised to include the all-you-can-drink tequila open bar, expert tasting and a tour at La Rojeña distillery (said to be one of the oldest in the Americas), games, music, food and entertainment.
The company claims the experience is 'unforgettable,' but that may depend on how much you drink.

What colour was the label @Nepia?
I only like the blue labelled Panhead
i like the orange one, Supercharger?
-
@Nepia I have never seen a red labelled one. Only Blue, Orange and Yellow.
@mariner4life I'm a bit rubbish with stronger craft beers. They knock me about a bit much

Maybe it was actually orange ... it was about hour 4 in the stag party.

a night of Panhead Superchargers fucked me over well and truly. At the time they go down as smooth as any other beer but fuck me the hangover the next day was horrific. Ex dropped the boys round pretty early, let's just say alot of the day was spent watching youtube/gaming.
outstanding drop but Lakeman is even better I reckon.

First, I must make a confession, I am a massive craft beer piston wristed gibbon but no, I don't have a beard or skinny jeans. Been into craft beer for well over a decade and still can't get enough. Favourite styles right now are: IPA's, IIPA's, IIIPA's and NEIPA's.
Been a huge fan of NZ crafties and have tried quite a few. Recently, I've been getting a fair few of the Deep Creek brews over here in Aus which is awesome. Big fan of their Brewtiful Haze NEIPA but at $35-39 for a 4 pack of 440 ml cans so very expensive. Just wondering how much they are there in NZ?
On my last visit to NZ in Jan/Feb 18, I tried to get to as many breweries as possible as well as tasting as many local brews as I could.
The highlights for me were:
Auckland
Visiting Deep Creek on Auckland's North Shore, what a great venue, awesome beers.The Brewers Co-operative in Auckland city, went there with my cousin, stayed for many more than planned. So many taps and the food is pretty damn good too, I can recommend the clams. We went from here to the Brothers Beer, had a couple and went, nah, and straight back to the Brewers Co-operative.
Wellington
When in Welly, there really is only one place that has to be on everyone's itinerary - Garage Project. Nirvana!A new brewery at the time and I spent some time chatting with them at that years Wellington Wine, Food and Craft Beer festival is Fortune Favours, really enjoyed their beers. Got an invite to their new location at the time and we spent one hell of an afternoon there.

They probably need to work on the beer compared to others.

Stuff that for an investment. Looks like they are making something like $150k profit on a $4.5M turnover. That's a blazing 3%. I am highly highly skeptical of any crowdfunding for this sort of thing; bloody Burger Fuel tried it, and their prospectus was 'if you like burgers, give us money'.
Running a brew pub ain't straightforward and there's shedloads of competition. running a brewery is damn hard work,a nd there's lots of competition. There isn't much money in this.
Anyhoo, good luck to them, but don't expect to make any serious coin from it. Invest for the love ... but there are probably better places to drop you hard earned.

pretty sure ParrotDog did a crowdfunding thing a few years back too
