Day 4 of Behemoth #Beermas and I’m a little concerned about this one.
Hophemoth, a Triple Hazy IPA comes in swinging with a mammoth 10% ABV,
With mammoth levels of New Zealand & American hops this beast has mighty levels of fruit and leaves nothing but satisfied drinkers in its wake.

Our farming economy might have pivoted to dairy, but I am pleased to see we remain very much a nation of sheep. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Oh Bernard Orsman and his rage baiting click-bait headlines. FFS. I mean once you read down to the middle of his outrage over the $220M per year to run the CRL you will find that only $64M of that is actual running costs, the rest are (interest free) loan repayments to pay for the actual build.

"Pop," goes the weasel.

I said, “well it was about 45 minutes, but at least the chairs were comfy.”
