Hello fellow beer drinkers.
The monthly beer tasting is on tonight @ the backbencher and we have just had a large group cancel making quite a bit of space available. I was asked if i knew any Beer enthusiasts who might be interested and i automatically thought of you guys.
It is tonight @ 6pm upstairs in our function rooms and it is $48 per head. Tonights theme is Belgian style beers.
There are 8 beers for sampling and 3 courses of food matched to 3 of the beers.
the host for the evening is Neil Miller
the beers are:
Macs Great White
Hoegaarden Wit
Tuatara Ardennes
Duvel
Maredsous Triple
Leffe Radiuese
Orval
and Chimay Blue to round off the evening
 
If you are interested phone 04 472 3065 and ask for Rachel or email Rach@backbencher.co.nz
 
(might be good for those intending to watch the Backbenches TV show afterwards -starts 9pm)

You are obvously "into" beer, and like classy stuff. Here is a good reason to boycott DB products, at least until they allow other breweries to use the term "raddler".

I trust we will not have DB at the Stadium

Backbencher & The Four Kings are DB free zones, and AFAIK so is the stadium for Nix games. UberGunner2009-07-29 19:18:47

Can't remember if they still do since I avoid the crap, but I remember Export Gold (a DB brand) being sold at Nix Games.

I  Duvel, although normally after 2 bottles I cannot feel my legs.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
