Brewtown Becoming More Bountiful

Michael from Trentham

Just when you thought Brewtown in Upper Hutt has got almost everything it possibly could have, along comes the Gillies Group with even further advancements.

The two most recent additions are an outdoor Farmers Market that started very modestly and has sprung up in produce stall numbers and public attendances; and an out-and-out cafe with a bicycling theme.

Just announced is a two million dollar canopy covering of the Farmers Market to make it an all-weather venue every Sunday as well as increasing its area size so that up to 100 stalls can be positioned within it.

It will be the only covered Farmers Market in NZ and is destined to attract hordes of people living in other parts of the region.

The semi enclosed area can also be used for other events such as concerts which is fantastic and gives Brewtown twin permanent "marquees" in respect to the one that was constructed a couple of years ago and was utilised for the very successful New Year's Eve gig last December 31.

Attended Beervana at Sky Stadium today and despite being a Friday morning/afternoon, a very big crowd converged around the concourse of this super stadium.
Brewtown was well represented by Te Aro, Boneface and Panhead who are all leaders among craft beer producers in NZ. Only my personal favourite Kereru from the wider Brewtown precinct was missing but hopefully they will be back again next year.

Despite being held indoors, Beervana was a no-mask wearing event - only about 5 people among 5000 seemingly wore masks when not drinking, eating during the time I was there.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
