****** finally! I know box_social will be happy about this

Edit: and... Twitter says it's taproom only.

I wish breweries would go back to making flavorless, export style stouts again. I'm really tired of all these beers that actually taste good.

I'm hopeful that it will see distribution in a few years Allah Death by Coconut.

EDIT: not even fixing that autocorrect because that **** is hilarious.

So complaining about hazy, tropical fruit-filled, delicious IPA's is a thing now?

We've come full circle, folks. Time to drink SN Torpedos and call it a day.

Yeah since when are those IPAs common enough to get sick of?

I have been informed that these cans will be 19.2oz. Now, I dont want to nitpick, but in traditional English packaging, a "stovepipe" can is modeled, obviously, after the stovepipe hat. Back in the day, when an English gentleman found himself on the street after the pubs had closed, he would often doff his hat and ask passerbys to provide him with a "stovepipe of ale." This would typically be about 24oz, give or take, depending on the circumference of the particular hat.

It just annoys me that breweries throw these random containers around -- howlers, crowlers, stovepipe cans -- and dont even bother being historically accurate when it comes to the measurements. Its like, "here, take ~5 less ounces of beer and be happy about it." You know?

What are some good NZ breweries and beers? My father in law is from NZ and the inlaws go back every other year. Just something to talk about tomorrow when I see him.

8 wired, Garage Project, Epic, Liberty, Panhead are a good start.

Howler=Half Growler=32oz=Crowler=Grumbler

I didn't read all of your post, cause BORING, but I will send a box of beer to the first person to Intihar out of a stove pipe hat.

Awesome thanks for the info.

Definitely let them know when they go to NZ in February. They like some craft beers but I figure they might try some when they are there.

After I play laser tag I'll find a hat.

Ill Intihar your face out of a stove pipe hat



























































You're ******* boring.

What is this Talk Hats business?

I caved and bought some Pompeii. ******* this might be the best IPA ever.

Where do they normally go? Wellington is definitely an amazing city for beer/food/wine. You can't throw a rock there without hitting a new brewery or bar but there are heaps of smaller regional breweries doing interesting things too. they'll be able to get all of what I mentioned at most supermarkets at least though. Even my pissy hometown in the middle of nowhere I can get some solid IPAs etc. NZ is a country that supports small local producers pretty well I reckon.

They usually fly into Auckland to visit family for a week then take 2 weeks to travel. Wellington is a place they stay because they tour the South Island for multiple days.

I would love to visit but don't see that ever happening. I really want my wife to go with them though. I think it would be a once in a lifetime trip.

It's a nice country even without the beer. I go back once a year. We did some hiking last year which was ridiculously beautiful.

Amazing wine too.

...Panhead...

I don't ride anymore, but I'd buy their beers on name alone.

Modern beer is a Dickensian nightmare. Oafish waifs say "please sir, can I get Dino S'mores?"

They are making some delicious beers. The owner loves his bikes and cars hence the name
