Pomeroy's Craft Beer Appreciation Sessions

Craft Beer New Zealand

December brings the return of our famous, "Craft Appreciation Weeks". We've picked three of our favourite breweries to help you celebrate the end of a, ahem, tumultuous year!

Tuatara : 3rd Dec - 9th Dec
Wellington's most established craft pioneers, Tuatara's passion for flavourful beers combined with their consistency makes them an irresistible choice time and again.

With the heat on the rise how about an $8 pint of some of their finest brews!

The Last Zombie Celebration

This Wednesday, the 21st, the Beer Baroness and Epic beer Luke are putting down a collaborative special brew at the Four Avenues Brewing Co. To mark this rosy occasion, the last keg of Epic Hop Zombie in CHCH will be popped and drained. First in first served.

My Quick Thoughts On Wellington

Beervana & New Zealand Beer Awards 2012

Just thought I’d share some brief notes about my time in Wellington. For the second year I helped Craig “BeerNZ” Bowen with  the logistics of judging over 450+ entries. The good news is judging went smoothly and I have to tip my cap to him and all the judges. Like last year, some amazing beers medalled - and some really amazing beers didn’t such is the nature of judging I suppose - but overall the Awards was another successful chapter in celebrating New Zealand brewing.

Congrats To Harrington's - Champion NZ Brewery 2012!

Harrington's - Champion NZ Brewery

Pom’s sits on the site of the historic Ward’s Brewery and prior to our occupation it was the home of Harrington’s Brewery. Founded in 1991 by John Harrington, they have grown from a 1000L brewery to become Christchurch’s oldest and largest brewing and bottling company.
At the Brewers Guild of New Zealand Awards they took out the supreme award, the Champion Brewery of the country for 2012!  

Invercargill Brewery Tasting Night At Pom's: A Review

Invercargill Brewery

Wow April really flew by at here at Pomeroy’s… yikes May is almost gone, time for another beer tasting! All April we enjoyed some of Southlands finest offerings. And we’re not just talking about the Bluff Oysters.  Invercargill Brewery had several great beers come through the taps last month.  To top it off Invercargill Brewery owners Steve and Amanda Nally made the trip north for April’s brewery tasting night! 

Eagle Versus Dog Interview

Golden Eagle and Raindogs Brewing - Craft Beer Tasting

With the Golden Eagle and Raindogs tatsing this coming Monday we thought it was a good time to get their interview from the Pom's Press online for all to read. So without further a do...

Invercargill Brewery Tasting - The List

Invercargill Brewery Craft Beer Christchurch

Thanks to all who turned out for another great tasting evening and BIG thanks to Steve Nally for his time and insight into his fantastic INvercargill Breweries.

A great mix of cider, seasonals and year-round drops were on offer and if you want to rush to your nearest quality outlet and purchase (or order from the taps at Pom's) here's what filled your glasses in order:

Beer And Cheese & Emerson's Degustation!

Kieran Haslett Moore and Richard Emerson - Cheese and Beer

There is SO MUCH HAPPENING.

Firstly, Pom's is hosting the seminar program at the Great Kiwi Beer Festival, Hagley Park, 25 February. The event looks very promising, with a huge line-up of breweries and our seminar program looks like it's going to be informative, educational and - with a debate between Epic's Luke and the Dux's Dickie on malt versus hops - lively!

Christmas Hours

Hi All, Just a quick note to say we are open from midday for the rest of the week until we have a great send off on Christmas Eve and have a (we think) well deserved break.

So this means we will be closed from Dec 25 and not reopening until Wednesday January 4... have a great break, take care and see you refreshed and relaxed in 2012!

Thanks for your support in 2011!

This Week I Ordered... The craziness of Christmas!

Just a quick note to say that I have not forgotten my beer buying blog!

These last few weeks have been madness of the best kind... Emerson's Appreciation week, Epic Launches and the Twelve Pints of Xmas.

As such I just haven't had time to blog my purchases, and at the moment kegs are not even lasting a day given the rush of locals. Soooo... to make a long story short - we have amazing beers, they are changing rapidly, at this time of year you just need to come down and check it out for yourself!
