Adjusting to my new life has left me with lots to write about but little have had little motivation to write, until now. So in the last 2 weeks a lot has happened. Work has been hugely busy with the rugby world cup on. Will continue to be busy with All Black vs. Canada Game in Wellington tomorrow, lots of other amazing games and the Warriors final tomorrow! love it!
It has been an experience working long hours on my feet all day, lifting heavy glasses, half a ton of kegs up stairs (we go through a lot of Tuatara :)), and serving awesome customers and trying to educate them on great beers. I am even nice enough to forgive the odd person for buying a Heineken (if they want to pay $8.50 for a Heineken when a Tuatara pint which tastes much, much better and has more in it... then well whatever floats their boat).
I have also found that my legal skills come in handy in all parts of life, it gives me great pleasure that those stills are so transferable. I have found that all my co-workers are awesome people, who are good at what they do and have so many different skills and backgrounds that they are great to work with.
Not working during the day has allowed me to enjoy the sun, talk walks around Oriental bay, the waterfront, read in the sun, brew, go shopping for unusual ingredients and enjoy the amazing city of Wellington. Enjoying the fine things in life, good coffee, good food and of course good beer.
Now for my latest beer, Tu Meki Kiwitty. A wheat beer made with Green Kiwifruit, Gold Kiwifruit and Coriander. It shall be ready in a couple of weeks and I have high expectations for it.
In the next few days I will be bottling the Mocha Porter and it will be about 7.5% so a decent alcohol kick and will be relatively sweet.
Ok next post will be reviewing many beers that I have tried recently. Watching the Aussie vs Russia game now, so glad the Russians could at least one try!
Will be less time between posts now I hope! Na zdorovje!
