Best Of Brewnz 2009

This year Regional Wines and Spirits were a major sponsor of Beervana, the public face of the BrewNZ festival. Beervana was a fantastic celebration of craft brewing and the best beers New Zealand has to offer. As a result of our involvement we decided to run the ‘August’ monthly beer tastings in the first week of September. Hosted by Regional Beer Specialist and BrewNZ Judge Kieran Haslett-Moore , the tastings presented a range of BrewNZ medal winners and festive brews with some special beers from Oregon America which were imported for the festival. Below are the results of the public vote.
