		<title>We Three Kings&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas eh? I love it. I love it for the same reasons PC loves it. People are nice to each other because they want to be. Commercialism is embraced instead of vilified. And possibly best of all, &#8217;tis the season to be jolly! Yep, that means beer for me, although I also tend to raid [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ma! That big kid is picking on me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot has happened lately. Myself and Phil Murray have accidentally launched a contract brewery, SOBA&#8216;s long running radler trademark dispute is awaiting judgement, and I&#8217;ve become enamoured of the delights of Melbourne during Good Beer Week. This blog update is about none of those things! Instead, I&#8217;m throwing in with the multitude of beer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rose Tinted Pint Glass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Evangelistic brother / Should be banging a tambourine Go wash your hands and fingers / Until your mind is clean Now, it might be more than a little naff to begin a blog post by quoting Tears for Fears, but I caught a snatch of Mr Pessimist the other day, and that couplet connected with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once upon a time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh no, not again. Look, I want so badly to write something positive about DB. I&#8217;ve said time and time again that I don&#8217;t care who makes good beer, so long as it IS good beer. I&#8217;d heard exciting things about Single Source &#8211; a beer from DB that talked about malt and hops as [...]]]></description>

		<title>NHC 2010 &#8211; Warts and All!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the organiser for this year&#8217;s SOBA National Homebrewing Competition, I&#8217;ve now seen every aspect of NZ&#8217;s premier homebrewing competition from the other side. I have to say, I have a newfound respect for all the previous years judges, stewards, and organisers. Something that&#8217;s always intrigued me, as an entrant, is exactly what goes on [...]]]></description>

		<title>BrewNZ 2010 &#8211; &#8220;That&#8221; result.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[DB are the champion brewer of NZ for 2010. It&#8217;s official. You&#8217;re all waiting for my long and angry rant now, aren&#8217;t you? Go on, admit it. It&#8217;s OK, if you&#8217;d been around when I heard the news (as several good friends were &#8211; apologies to Jamie, Phil, Kieran, Graeme and others) you&#8217;d have got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heavens to Marketroid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most refreshing aspects about craft beer for me is the lack of &#8230; there&#8217;s no polite way to say it &#8230; marketing bullshit. I&#8217;ve never heard a craft brewer claim their beer was &#8220;brewed 33% longer&#8221;, or any such ludicrous statement. I&#8217;ve always taken it as a sign that craft brewers think [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Whole Package</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I had the pleasure of being &#8220;the beer team&#8221; in a beer versus wine food matching debate/experience at House in Hamilton. I had the greater pleasure of winning that debate, despite an excellent (and extremely gracious) battle with &#8220;the wine team&#8221; &#8211; Dan Thursby from Hamilton Wine Company. This was no mean feat, [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Cautionary (T)ale.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SOBA has been trucking along without my involvement (other than the odd press comment, and buttinski-type annoying input) for nearly a year. It has grown and flourished under a new committee made up of some great people, old hands and newcomers alike. The man with whom all bucks must inevitably stop,  Geoff Griggs, and his [...]]]></description>

		<title>A House of Awesome Repute</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hamilton lore (such as it is) claims that the old Loaded Hog building on Hood Street used to be a &#8220;house of ill repute&#8221;, where the ladies of the night plied their trade. Wags often point out that in Hamilton, they must have starved for want of clients given the often maligned sexual proclivities of [...]]]></description>
