I'm very jealous - it sounds like quite an event.

Last night I sampled the Saltaire Goldings you brought me - what a superb beer! I've done a quick RateBeer review.

This looks like such a great event. Kieran, all credit to you - such is your dedication to proper beer and pub culture, you've recreated it in Kiwiland!

Any plans to open a brewpub commercially one day?

Cheers Stonch.

That would be a pipe dream yes, large amounts of fund required however.

Something like this
