I have a couple of Regional vouchers to use shortly. HM is on the list along with some belgian goodness.

One day I'll get to the point where I'm not buying as much, but I'm finding too many quality beers that I have to try. I call it "Research and Development".

Yep.. Thats it for Ruination for some time. At $5 it was being sold for less than it cost us. Enjoy the bottles you have.

As some of you are aware, we are now supplying Bars & Bottle Stores. We brought bulk of Ruination in, with the thought of supplying other Off Licences, but due to the way it is labelled, they wouldn't touch it.

Its not just Ruination, but all Stone products. Deschutes also suffers the same fate, so once this current lot of Stone & Deschutes product has sold through that will likely be it.

If you want your 'local' to stock products we import, point them here: http://www.beerstore.co.nz/trade/

No.. Our stickers we put on each bottle we sell makes them compliant with labeling laws.

Specifically it was the 'Best Before' dates. The brewery puts a three month expiry on them from bottling, and it would take us two months to land them. Most bars etc wouldnt touch them, because they were too close to 'expiry' at this point.

Even once 'Expired', these beers were only three months old.. by comparison most NZ beers have a 12 month expiry (Even the very Hopped ones), and many Belgian Beers are 2 - 5 years.

Well that's a crying shame isn't it? I think that when someone shows enough valour to bring this kind of gear in - there should at least be some reward. And isn't stupidly ironic that at the end of this beers shelf life - there are customers raving about how good it is... even though it has past its best before date.

I say fuck NZ governance - and keep this shit in the country.

Incase you didn't realise what that dot up there was it was a full stop.

So to reiterate: Fuck NZ governance - and keep this shit in the country.

(Shit being Stone Ales)

Crying shame.
