Beer, Wine and Spirits (Brewing Club)
Hello Mt Pleasant
I have been brewing beer (and spirits in my early days) for a few years and love it - making and drinking. If you are brewing as well, or would like to start, then you may be interested in a brand new club starting up.
I have rather imaginatively called it the Mt Pleasant Home Brewing Club. If you'd like to register your interest then logon the Facebook and join up to the group I have started there.
I'm thinking, a meet up every couple of months at the community centre. Sample everyones product and general chat about how to do it better - get in a speaker?
Interested? Search Mt Pleasant Home Brew Club on Facebook and put your ideas on there.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
