My facebook messenger is going nuts with people saying Beervana at the stadium is a place of interest. Hopefully bullshit cos that was a feral hotbed of munters drinking with each other in close proximity.
I know cos I was there and it was fucken awesome.
It was awesome. So many hammered people in town afterwards
I went to the morning session and emerged at about 4ish but pissed at about a 10pm or 11pm level. I’m pleased I didn’t run into my folks who had taken the boys shopping on Lambton Quay.
I now realise craft beer just gives you an excuse to drink piss 2x the strength of the mass produced piss. I swear it all tasted the same after a while

100%.
You need to make the most of the first few and if you go from, say, a 9% beer to a 6% beer the latter tastes like water.

I exercised self preservation and avoided the 11 and 12% ones. I just avoided disaster, but there were some very ill people the next morning

…..and you couldn’t get anything over 10% in a “big” glass. Spoilsports.

I didn't mind that. The key to my salvation was drinking lots of taster size glasses and having some food

It was a massive weekend in Welly Town with Wellington on a plate as well. Lots of travellers from out of town ready to take an unwanted present home with them
I’ve had two of those burgers so far. Massively overrated if I’m being honest.

First thing I thought of was Beervana. That'd be a fucking sweet super-spreader event.
I too, was there, and yeah - it was pretty good. From what I remember. I got given a free ticket to the Saturday morning session, blagged our way into the KegStar lounge for the workers at "half-time", and then into the afternoon session. Pretty fucking blurry-eyed by the end.

Decided to try another of Panhead's offerings. The NZ IPA "Tumblin' Dice". It's growing on me with each can.

It’s a great time to do samples. Whilst I’m managing to keep up the exercising pretty well I’m also rewarding myself with a beer I haven’t tried and luckily the Supermarket is constantly stacked. The other day it was Duncan’s ( a brewery somewhere up Kapiti ) marshmallow stout. Over 10% and by golly it was sensational.

Just received a little order from Regional Wines. They have by far the best beer selection in Wellington especially when it comes to styles that most others don't stock.
Some more Sunshine Black Biere de Garde, A few belgian bruins, Emersons Phantom Lord, some good old Yeastie Boys PKB (a kiwi craft classic). Basically cool weather beers.
This online ordering lark is dangerous. -

This online ordering lark is dangerous.My mate ordered the Father’s Day special through Garage Project. As far as I can see its 6 x double pernicious weed, 1 x GP beanie and 1 x 2000 piece GP puzzle….
For $115 !!!!!
Fuck me, crazy pricing.

That's crazy. Wow.
Homebrewing is an option of course ... got 40L of a hazy with Talus, Idaho 7 and Galaxy hops fermenting at the moment. Smells amazing, can't wait for it to get on tap.
Edit: not all for me. One keg of 20L is plenty

It’s an expensive jigsaw and beanie that’s for sure
