CRAFT BEER ON THE ROPES

Michael from Trentham

Whistling Sisters in Wellington produced great craft beer and its fancy, modern and large restaurant in Wellington's CBD provided delightful fare.
Now its closed waiting for a buyer and not producing beer.

Boneface, the anchor of the craft beer breweries-restaurants in Brewtown, Upper Hutt is up for sale.

Kereru which to me is among NZ's top three craft beer breweries and also located on the doorstep of Brewtown had 12 staff in 2019 including the owners now it has 3 including the owners.

Other closures and push-backs of craft beer establishments are dotted throughout NZ.

The craft beer industry in NZ is under threat due to the cost of living crisis.

I would recommend that our local Upper Hutt and Wellington region craft beer breweries be supported for those who can afford to pay the few dollars extra for infinitely superior beer.
