New Zealand Brew Scene It used to be said that the Trinity in New Zealand was Rugby, Racing and Beer. New Zealand men consume huge quantities of beer, rivaling their neighbors in Australia, 1,200 saltwater miles to the west. Trucks like those that haul milk in California trundle beer in bulk to the bars and pump the brew through three-inch hoses to huge tanks beneath the taprooms.
New Zealand ( beer ) on my mind Where there were only 10 small breweries now there are 60.
