## About

We are a Contract-brewer in NZ. If you're drinking Herne Tane in a bottle CHECK THE BEST BEFORE. It's been TWO years since we packaged it. Please bear this in mind with your reviews, particularly in PERTH (GOD knows how it got there, please enlighten me on email to [email protected] if you know..). I gotta say, I had a bottle with a BBE June 2016 over Christmas, and it was still tasting pretty good!!! Enjoy! We now OWN a Hop Garden, and are brewing small batches, and have another beer out in a week, but only in kegs, and only in Otago/Southland, NZ. Check it out at Zanzibar, Ombrellos and Liquorland Anderson's Bay, from Thursday 12th May 2022
