I do have Brew On Quay on the list to be added during the next update. They're light on tapped product (according to the website), they have a magnificent selection of bottled product. That's the other area they can get on the map with - if the bottled NZ craft beer selection is magnificent. I think Brew on Quay is one of only 3 to do so, so far. I think they have around 40 NZ craft examples which is around the magificent level!
What's the story with Shakespeare? I'd heard they'd stopped brewing but can't find confirmation either way. And they won't return emails etc. I have them on the list to take off.
Anyone know if Rogue in Taupo is still brewing? Or ever was brewing?
So last night I attended the soft opening of the new Corner Bar. Nice fit out, two Moa taps, all the bottled moa. Plus Tuatara Range, Croucher Pils, Emersons 1812 and Pils, Epic pale ale and lager. Good food, excellent looking at people seats.Excellent whisky selection... They open doors Thursday.
I'm afraid Hashigo Zake will need to be removed from the list as they currently have 4 of their 11 taps/handpumps pouring imports. http://hashigozake.co.nz/beerlist.html
(note: that is a joke but it illustrates a problem with having too firm a line in the sand).
I love the idea of this website AndrewC. And I definitely agree that a very high benchmark should be set. BUT... in lieu of having a near blank section for Auckland, it would probably be a good idea to post a couple of "greatest misses" on the list. Golden Dawn would probably be one... more for the hipsters than the hopstars, I hear, but having all the Hallertau beers on tap is pretty decent for AKL.
Of course the Cock and Bull guys and Galbraith's Ale House may be happy to leave it as is!
I'd also be wary of using the term "NZ craft beer". What is craft? Apparently Harrington's don't consider themselves craft. And I know a lot of people don't consider a few other breweries as "craft" (including Nelson ones which are probably on tap in the bars you mention). "New Zealand-owned breweries" might be a better definition... though it doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.
You could just be totally up front and honest and say that it is "bars we love". We can be any of your trusted contacts out and about on the streets of wherever...
Keep up the good fight. As I say, I think this could be an absolutely amazing resource.
