An enjoyable evening at Brewtown in Upper Hutt
‘Didn’t realise it existed’ was the initial reaction of the social group of about 30 who embarked on an enjoyable evening at Brewtown in Upper Hutt on Saturday evening. Situated on the site previously occupied by General Motors and Dunlop tyres, Brewtown is made up of a series of bars and eateries among other things for guests to sample, the ultimate craft beer destination. It didn’t all go as expected. We ran out of time for an organised craft beer tasting although Dexter Traill was proactive and indulged in a hastily arrange private tasting shared around the table. John O’Connell admitted to being there nice and early, (probably 2 hours before the rest). Just kidding! Despite the lack of planned tasting, rest assured the entire group enjoyed a 90-minute casual session in pleasant conditions before dining at Kuku with ample social banter at the dinner tables, of course socially distanced. Many thanks to Kay who did all the organising. It was an enjoyable function, worth repeating.
