BUGGER!! I was there in '06 & was oogling the shiny stainless. Had a quick chat with the bar manager & was quickly introduced to the Head Brewer, who fell over himself to show me around, explain all the "bits" & openly talk technical with another fellow brewer.Bribie G said:Macs brewery at the harbour is only an outlet now, when I was there they had stripped out the brewery and it's all brewed now at Lion. However it's a good lunch venue if you want to sit in the sun at the harbour frontage. I was there in the winter and wearing a T shirt.
Excellent info. Much appreciated. It seems I have a lot of drinking to do. Shame I'm only there for 3 days and got to do some work.Bribie G said:Here you go bro'
About five years since I was in Wellie and obviously craft beer has grown enormously since I was there. Personally recommend The Malthouse and Hahigo Zake that's down an alley then down some stairs - an excellent drinking experience, like descending down the stairs in a 1930s movie into the underground bar, loved that place and has or had a couple of hand pumps as well.
The advantage of Wellington is that the CBD is ultra compact compared to many Australian capitals so it's a short stagger to everywhere.
