Garage Project Umami Monster?

[David R]

So after being scared off by the description, I finally tasted this beer a couple of weeks ago and it blew my mind! Not sure if it was because I really thought I wasn't going to like it, but it was so damn good. I bought the last bottle the local Liquorland had and shared it with my wife [who didn't like it at all] and a friend [who loved it]. My sister is coming over from the US in a couple of weeks and she's bringing me back a few rare treats, and a friend over there managed to track down a can of Heady Topper (the legendary IIPA) and would really love a bottle of the Umami Monster in return. Sadly, my local has sold out, and a trip to Liquorland Newmarket left me empty handed too. Beercellar.co.nz doesn't have it, and Garage Project haven't replied to my email yet.

If anyone spots some at the bottle store I'd be greatly appreciated if you could either give me a heads up so I can order it, or even better grab a couple and post them to me, for which you will be completely reimbursed, and possibly rewarded with something unusual from the US!

Cheers!

Have you tried Brothers Beer in town?  The last time I was there they had a few different Garage Project beers not sure about that one though.

No I haven't, forgot to mention I'm in Whangarei! They don't have it according to their website though.

I am in Whangarei also but I sometimes stop in there when I go to Auckland, the bagel shop next door is pretty awesome too.
