I'm European, and one of Garage Project's beers was one of the best beers I've ever had.
Never even heard of that.
We aren't talking about bespoke, hand crafted artisan beers though.
So, you're only buying and drinking the main brands of beer, haven't even heard of probably our best known craft brewery, but think all our beer is shit?
Craft beer isn't adding a measurable amount to our GDP.
I thought that's exactly what we were talking about, from the article:
"Locally brewed beer is a source of regional pride, driving tourism and community initiatives. From the thriving craft breweries of Otago to the innovative exporters in Taranaki, this report highlights the diverse and vibrant role of brewing in shaping regional economies," said Brewers Guild executive director Melanie Kees.
I was replying to somebody who was talking about exporting beer.
Garage Project were at most local liquor stores as I recall before I left NZ in 2021. I grabbed a pack of them last weekend in regional Western Australia. The local offerings are no less expensive these days.
