Part of a “variety pack” of six Tuatara beers. I don’t remember at all what it tasted like, just that I finished off two of them before our kettle finished boiling.
Helluva
Stop #04: Cape Reinga
After Paihia we spent the day driving all the way up to Cape Reinga, the northern-most tip of of New Zealand.
1812 IPA
My favorite beer so far. Very hoppy, lots of flavor and a kick like Goose Island.
Stop #03: Paihia
We chose Paihia as our base of operations for the Bay of Islands area, which was a cute little sleepy seaside town.
Piha, New Zealand
We only stayed one night in Piha, but boy did it have a great view!
Stop #02: Piha
After two weeks stationed in Auckland, we were itching to get out on the road. Piha was our first destination.
So’phisticuffs
I drank this at a tapas bar, and it went down well with the patatas bravas.
South Pacific IPA
A delicious beer that was full of hoppy goodness. Glad I bought the six-pack!
Mumbo Jumbo IPA
One of the first beers bought from a grocery store in Auckland, this beer was a disappointing, as there was less flavor than expected from a normal IPA. Still, it was a refreshing reward from our first every grocery shopping run.
Stop #01: Auckland
We arrived in Auckland and can’t wait to leave it!
