Well, the Lighthouse Classic Stout is tasting great, and there's also Epic Pale Ale and Wigram Bavarian Pilsner on, both at the top of their game, so it's well worth popping in anyway. I suspect the PKB could go on tonight. I'll be doing my bit to help that happen! ;)
No, the horse and cart couldn't get over the Bombay Hills, so it won't be there this year. The two outlets we talked with were a) liking the beer but not interested in selling and b) interested but too slow.
Stu, don't worry. Auckland is so tied up by the big breweries, and so far behind on the craft beer scene it is painful. Even living in Auckland it doesn't make it any easier to try and get beer on tap. People don't get it cause they don't know that there is anything else available.
