Cheers mate....have i got good news for you, check these guys out they have hook norton old hooky, bitter, double stout and gold in their shop although they may not be online yet, they're really helpful and mail order stuff out no problem

Nice one, love old hooky! my favourite has got to be Haymaker though!

Mate just popped into regional wines and spirits, they have a dozen Hook Norton Haymaker

http://www.regionalwines.co.nz/

Their website probably isn't updated yet but give em a call if you want some

I'm just hoping they've lasted ok....always a worry when they sit in a hot container for three months!

Not me! IPA is my favourite style....to be more exact Double or imperial IPA! :0)

Hey Ian
Was wondering if you get to blenheim very often?

No it's ok i was just wondering if you went there often i would ask you if you could get me some HB Maibock from fresh choice and post it over, Soren says they've got it at the mo

Sorry been in ridiculously boring meetings all morning! :0(
A six pack of Hofbrau Maibock would be exceptional if you can manage it or if they don't have 6 as many bottles as they have please :0) I can send you money to post them and reimburse you for the beer or i can send money after or whatever you want?
Thank you very much!!!!

JK

Thanks for that! no i don't have anything else i really want, i've been looking for Maibock for a long time and no where else in NZ has it, i posted a thread online to see if anyone had seen it and Soren was the only person that had. Hey thanks for this it really goes beyond the call of duty!
Cheers

James

Mate you're a gem! you've made my afternoon! :0)
I'll send you an email on this site so it's a wee bit more private

Actually no i won't because i can't figure out how to...i'm illiterate at this sort of computer thing!
Here's my email address, jameskemp3@yahoo.co.nz
send me an email and we'll discuss addresses, bank accounts etc there
thanks again!
Cheers

James

Awesome thanks for that, i'll got to a branch because i have no idea how to do that online but i can't get there today if that's ok?!
I'll let you know once i get them :0)

Cheers

James

Ardenne....very nice beer! Love the tuatara beers, it's funny because they're so easy to get i forget how good they are, i love the IPA, there's a bar in newtown that does it on hand pump!
Hmmm 3 boys, i'm not on their xmas list at the mo....had a few things to say about the IPA....if it's good it's great but if you get a bad bottle it's really bad! they used wheat beer yeast for a while in their IPA and that was just wrong!
I had a nice big 2L flagon of yeastie boys golden boy on saturday afternoon while watching the cricket....BLISS! :0)

Newtown is a suburb of Wellington, there's three bars that do hand pumped ale in Welly not to shabby really! I think you're pretty lucky with a place called Black Creek in Blenheim? brewery tap of renaissance that does cool guest beers like pink elephant!?
You're going all grain? have you started yet? i've thought about it but get really good results with my partials that i haven't got around to it

Loads of fun and a selling point for your bed and breakfast...i'd stay at a place where there was good beer available! :0)
Nope haven't tried good bastards beer....not heard many good things about it so i'm in no rush
I've just transfered money to your account so it should show up tomorrow, i'll give you a yell when the beers turn up :0)

Cheers

James

Ian

Beers just arrived thank you very much! all safe and sound and expertly packed! hopefully the cash should have shown up in your account?

Cheers

James

I'm a hoarder with a man cave, a convenient nice cool room that i keep all my brew stuff and beer so i'll store it away and have maybe one at a sitting with a selection of others to keep me going....i'm also a shocker when it comes to selection, i need a whole selection of an evening to keep me satisfied! ah beer delights and our little quirks! ;0)
Cheers for the tip of the haymaker, i do love that beer!!!

hahaha man i'm glad someone else does that too....always turn up with a pint glass and loads of different beers :0)

I know exactly what you mean.....i had my wife's work function last night, monteiths range only....it was a struggle! i ended up drinking wine which is weird for me. Almost feel like my saturday beer day was cheated! We're off to Bar ed this arvo to make up for it, maybe a nice tuatara IPA on hand pump to make me feel better!

Uuurggh tui and lion red...shoot me in the face!
I will indeed! :0)
