I tried 8 Wired's ReWired at a specialist beer pub by Victoria Station, the Cask, a month or two back. It was pretty good and has totally changed my mind about Brown Ale

I like the new labels. The other one seems a little ye olde beer for olde men. Still, not as bad as these.

What I think I like more than it's taste is its label. Dark, old worldy and different.
You mean this one? It's pretty nice, but looks a little like Carlton Crown for me.

On a related note, have you seen the Oh, Beautiful Beer Flickr group and blog?

I am gonna have to have a rant... Croucher make some delicious beer. Their pilsner is delicious. I love it. What I think I like more than it's taste is its label. Dark, old worldy and different. WHY DID THEY FUCKING CHANGE IT? The new one is shit. They should…

I notice a similar scene amongst the winemakers that I know, quite few make beer or bread or at least sourdough

(I assume it's good beer)
Well their friends seem to think so, but then again they would say that. I'll see if I can head over to the Shore some time this week to corroborate their tastings. I can certainly vouch for their home brewing credentials... check out the high…

It’s dedicated, enthusiastic and energetic brewers like Paul from Croucher's and Luke from Epic and Richard from Emersons and Søren from 8-Wired and Andy from Renaissance and Stu from Yeastie Boys (and many others) that are changing the way we think about beer and changing what we think of beer…

This seems like an opportune time to let you beer aficionados in Auckland know that a mate of mine has set up a craft brewery/bar/restaurant in Browns Bay. They opened on the weekend and by all accounts it's been a raging success. They're open every day from 11am except on…
