23rd September - Beer Club - Suite Bar, Auckland

Suite Bar is a small bar in the Auckland CDB. Cnr Hobson & Wolfe Sts

These guys kick ass in every department, see awards below, but aren't really know for their beer. They have a pretty good selection of craft beers, (Epic Emerson's, Founders, Gissy Gold, Mata, Waiheke, Moa) and some imports (Duvel, Chimay, Rodenbach) (these are just some of what I can remember off the top of my head)

2008 Lewisham Awards - Outstanding Bar
2008 NZ Bar Awards - Bar Team of the Year
2008 NZ Bar Awards - Drinks Selection of the Year
2008 NZ Bar Awards - Operator of the Year
2008 NZ Sustainable Business Awards - Judges Commendation

They are wanting to get the customers involved in improving the selection, through a regular Beer Club tasting night. ( they are also currently running a Rum Club, not on the same night) You will taste through six or so beers with a theme, this first one being craft beers.

At the end of the tasting next Tuesday everyone will be asked to make their suggestions for stocking two new beers in the Suite Bar fridge. It will mean that two beers will also have to unfortunately be dropped.

This process of consumer feedback will ultimately lead to Suite having a "sweet" selection of beer in the fridge.

If you want to influence the range of beers on offer and have a but of fun on a school night this Beer Club gathering is
