The Bier and Hoppefeesten at Poperinge, Belgium, was one of the best little beer festivals I've been to. All from bottles, the beer served here was full of big Belgian flavours, high percentage and fast flowing. But here's the difference between Flemish and Kiwi drinkers: this festival was FUN. 

Pub Crawl | Craftwork x Yeastie Boys x NZBC

Brewers Michael and Lee-Ann from Craftwork Brewery in Oamaru (aka my dad and Step-mum) were in town last week at the start of their European Beer Tour. We met up with Yeastie Boys Head Honcho Stu McKinlay, and New Zealand Beer Collective Director Todd Nicholson for a old fashioned pub crawl and chin wag. I mean business meeting. We started at the Harp on Chandos place just off Trafalgar Square, made our way around the city and ended at Craft somewhere in Clerkenwell. 

Cheers to Stu and Todd for the day!
