I've been hoeing into the 500ml Epic from Gate Pa New World in Tauranga. I must say the quality is supurb, not a gusher in site. And... they don't keep it in the bloody fridge. It has pride of place sitting on top of one of the chillers in the deli section. Oh the frustration.
What made you go 500ml? I hope it wasn't my comments re the ability to charge a little extra, cause I was really enjoying the 6-pack at $16 on special.
$26 for four bottles is hurting, and I bet your packaging costs have gone down too.
Cheers mate, got a nice wee trip to chch planned this weekend to drink a few twisted hop beers....
Looking forward to your bottled versions of Mayhem and Armageddon by the way! :0)
Just to clarify my comment on that DB vs Epic thing.
I hate DB.
I think Epic is great.
Just a few times I've spent a bit of money on good beer, got a bit carried away and then the next morning can not remember what any of the beers were like. Kind of disappointing.
I guess the comment could have been read as Epic being overpriced, I don't believe it is, just wanted to clarify haha.
Hi Luke - thought I would let you know that I dropped into see Mike at Prenzels today and offered to supply him with some His Majesty for the tasting you are running on Tuesday. I hope to be tagging along myself. See you then.

Hi Luke, enjoyed the teaser, can't wait to see the TV series :-)
If you happen to be travelling through Wanganui and you have the time, please feel free to pop in to 'The Weary Pilgrim' brewery and 'The Pilgrim's Rest' bar and grill (Photos on my page). You would both be most welcome.
You can contact me on (06)345-1409 or 021-136-5337. I work from home so am usually available during the day.
Hi Luke, I posted an event for 16/9/12 in Hamilton but seem to have done it twice! Not sure how to delete one of them- could you please do the honours? Thanks, Dai

I'm whinging but I guess I'm still buying it!

Are DB and/or Lion breweries guild or affilliate guild members?
