I had no idea it was this much.

The article doesn't say, but I wonder how much we export?

Never even heard of that.

We aren't talking about bespoke, hand crafted artisan beers though.

I thought that's exactly what we were talking about, from the article:

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.

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.
