Gin 'n' Juice
Not your average beverage union.
Overview
Whatever your brew of choice, smoked, saison, spiced, scotch, stout, session, there will be something for everyone at Gin 'n' Juice. Christchurch's Volstead Trading Company will set-up inside Vultures' Lane for the one-off event, matching hoppy, aromatic, bitter beers of Auckland's Liberty brewing with Beertique's portfolio of UK gin. Six beers will be matched to the boutique gin. There will also be a tattoo competition for some reason.
Auckland beer lovers had their opportunity to quaff one-off concoctions during Auckland Beer Week and epic beer celebration GABS. On it August 11-12 it will be Wellington's turn to show the national beer community how it's done with over 60 featured breweries, interactive themed bars, collaborations, and damn good food as part of the country's largest craft beer festival: Beervana. While not everyone can make it to the capital, every year Road to Beervana takes the beer celebration nationwide with tastings, paired degustations, tap takeovers, pop-ups, and general ex-beer-iences.
