CLINK!: JUST BREWTIFUL
CZECH YOURSELF
Local as local gets – The Fermentist, based on Colombo Street, is your very own central city brewers. This is a rich golden Czech-style Pilsner. An extended cold maturation produces a clean, mellow finish. New Zealand Williamette hops add a traditional hop character to the bready malt aroma. Complex, yet nonchalant and refreshing.
SANS SULPHUR
Muddy Water is impressively the oldest organic winery in North Canterbury, and has just released a new range of preservative-free wines called Sans. By using only perfect grapes, the award-winning team have made a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with absolutely no added sulphur, and it’s certified organic by Biogro NZ.
HOW GOSE IT
This refreshing Gose is infused with Horopito and Kawakawa, two of Aotearoa’s most beautiful and sought after native herbs. Widely used in Rongoa or Māori medicinal practices, these aromatic forest plants are famous for their wonderfully zesty spice and enlivening tang, which lend them perfectly to this delightful drop! Super fresh, herbal, and aromatic.
PASTA PLEASURE
Grater Good’s recent Pasta Du Jour caught our eyes (and stomachs!). A penne pasta smothered with pumpkin, spinach, hazelnuts, and dusted with parmesan. As always, our mates at Grater Goods offer up the best in vegan fare, all packed with flavour, texture, and colour for dinners worth remembering. Grater Goods is Sydenham’s plant-based butchery and deli. Shake off everything you think you know about vegan food, and go experience the tastes, the live music nights, and the people. It’s a good time.
