#8 wired

No sir, I'm not the biggest fan of long trips 😊 but if it ever happens, I'm sure I'll enjoy it - and not only because of local delicacies like this iStout Affogato 🥰

A very popular beer, the 8 Wired Tall Poppy made a welcome re-appearance this week, both in cans at on tap (and therefore at fill stations). As happens I noticed an Australian version of a Red IPA from One Drop, so here I am, perhaps forlornly, comparing Two Red IPAs: 8 Wired Tall Poppy vs One Drop Red Eye, well that is the plan. Also I might be singing a brilliant bit of New Zealand Lore the…

The Father’s Beer… I’m having two things, some Vinyl Music that I just purchased, Sunhouse – Crazy on the Weekend, and an 8 Wired Brave Old World – Patersbier, which is part of 8 Wired’s series bringing historic beer styles back to life in modern New Zealand. The Father’s Beer 8 Wired Brave Old World – Patersbier is brewed by 8 Wired Brewing in Warkworth, 🇳🇿 New Zealand in the style that is a…

Beer - #1,118 - Small Gods /8 Wired - Desperate Glory Glorious Beer Loud Music It's all happening...

 I’m having a Small Gods /8 Wired – Desperate Glory beer, recent winner in the New Zealand New World Beer and Cider awards, so this is available in stores in New Zealand . A beer I did originally have, and that was recently enjoyed by my friends at a gathering I had, and I missed out, or don’t remember having this, mind I was having some other rather goods beers at the time. Home Alone…

Herevana – 8 Wired – Opium Cake

8 Wired Opium Cake – It became available again. Well either I’ve had this and not noted it anywhere, not on any app, not a cursory note, or weirdly I’ve never had this, a beer that I rushed out to buy as soon as was available, becuase of a false memory. Weird thing memories and desire. 8 Wired / Pinta Opium Cake is made in  Warkworth, 🇳🇿 New Zealadn, and it’s an unashamed Stout – Imperial…

I’ve been Drinking – 8 Wired – Once Were Vikings

8 Wired Once Were Vikings – beer made with the Kviek yeast from Norweiganland. I have no idea, which means that either I’ve missed it or am so little interested that I don’t care. I think that I’m interested in what I’m interested in, like a Magpie and will gravitate to a shiny thing.

Viking Beer !

 8 Wired Once Were Vikings— brewed north of Auckland in 🇳🇿 Warkworth, New Zealand as an IPA –…

Brett Fermented Brut IPA - an each way bet. It's all the things it says it is, and the only quandary is should they really all be in the same glass? Enjoyable but needy beer as it needed to much thinking about. Beer - #1,093 - 8 Wired - Brett Brux Brut

8 Wired Brett Brux Brut. A tongue twister of a beer.  A combination of 3 things that I quite enjoy, IPA, Saison style things and that Champagne twist, probably.  Brett Fermented Brut IPA. There seems to be no end of mash up’s of beer and at least we’ve moved on from that weird week when everyone was oh “Mix This beer and that beer and it’s amazing” to which I scoffed, and ignored as it was as…
