SOBA Awards 2019 will be presented TONIGHT. To find your nearest venue, see facebook.com/nzsoba/photos/…
For those still on holiday this summer, check out the excellent summer road trips article by @mjwdonaldson in the Pursuit of Hoppiness. I have verified @8wiredbrewing at Matakana and @mcleodsbrewery at Waipu are definitely worth the trip. <GG> soba.org.nz/wordpress/wp-c…
The Results are in! 👏👏👏 Champion Brewer - Daryl Bryant Champion Beer - Simon Woods (Wild Specialty Beer) Champion Lager - Jared Reeves (German Pils) Champion Ale - Brent Heppie (Imperial Stout) Champion Club - Brütopians Best New Brewer - Simon Woods #nhc2019 #awardwinners
Treasurer Tom is looking very festive today for NHC @soba_nhc
We can confirm #Freshhop19 is a go! Keep an eye out for the date and more info real soon!
A privilege to be present for the handing out of this year's Wellington @sobanz awards last night. Congratulations to @BonefaceBrewer for picking up Wellington Beer of the Year, & my friends at @LBQWelly & Shepherd for picking up Bar and Restaurant of the year respectively.
Show of interest - who would be keen for an overnight trip to Hawkes Bay Beer Appreciation Day and GodsOwn Brewery's hop harvest? 9/10 March

Brewers and bars - this week is your last chance to get your events in the Auckland Beer Week programme. Email [email protected] if we don't already have your event.
Do you like organising things and want to be part of the team that runs NZ's largest homebrew competition? We're looking for someone to take over organiser role. There's a great team of volunteers to support you so you don't have to do it alone. Email [email protected]
In the latest edition of Pursuit of Hoppiness we wrongly attributed an article about Untappd to Craig Cooper of @Bachbrewing . In fact, it was another Craig Cooper entirely. The error is regretted and we offer our sincerest apologies to Craig Cooper of Bach Brewing.
Here's todays tap list, 10 delicious beers including 5 fresh hop beauties. Pick yourself up a free copy of Pursuit of Hoppiness mag from @sobanz too...
Watch your emails! A discount code for @gabsfestival in Auckland will be heading your way tonight
Tune in to RNZ this afternoon with Jesse Mulligan to hear our Pursuit editor talk about the recent SOBA awards
