The next few posts will comprise my travel/beer diary as Bill of Beer discovers more of Australia and the beers they are brewing. This is the final post in the six-part series. The sixth and final day of our beer and league tour was upon us and neither of us were too happy to...
The next few posts will comprise my travel/beer diary as Bill of Beer discovers more of Australia and the beers they are brewing. This is the fifth in a six-part series. Monday morning I awoke fairly clear-headed. Thank you ANZ stadium for only serving up light and mid-strength beer options at the Grand Final....

The next few posts will comprise my travel/beer diary as Bill of Beer discovers more of Australia and the beers they are brewing. This is the third in a six-part series.

I stood there watching as...

I certainly chose a great day to visit the newest craft beer pub on the North Shore of Auckland, and plenty of other people had the same idea because tables were at a premium. Deep Creek Brews & Eats has only been open about a month but the word seems to be spreading about...
The search for quality beer no longer means a ‘premium lager’ in a green bottle with many places offering craft beer in their fridges or if you’re lucky, on tap. Nestled in the heart of Auckland city and just off the hustle bustle sidewalks of Queen Street lies a little gem of vast value...

The New Zealand craft beer market is going crazy for big hoppy beers and IPAs (Indian Pale Ales) are becoming more and more popular. So it wasn’t going to be long before the big boys of the NZ beer market tried to get a piece of that action. DB must have been too busy...

With the increasing amount of craft beer appearing on our shelves my memory is struggling to keep up, let alone my wallet. Hiked up prices and inflation are doing their damage and unfortunately my beer tastes are becoming more and more unsatisfied with the mainstream brewers outputs. I can certainly attest that craft beer...
