Beerly Blogging: Fury at Radler ruling

My latest blog from Beer and Brewer chronicles the heated reaction to yesterday's ruling that DB have a copyright on Radler in New Zealand:

Now New Zealand is the only country in the world where only one company can market radlers and the public is not able to buy and enjoy a genuine imported radler.  I was happy to work on this for nothing, because I think the 'radler' trade mark is morally and commercially repugnant.  In New Zealand, only DB can use the word 'radler' to describe a radler drink.  This has not been allowed in other countries.  Using its trade mark, DB was able to stop Dunedin's Green Man Brewery from marketing an authentic low-alcohol radler, and stop supermarkets stocking imported radler-style beers.

Wellington's beer scene keeps improving

My latest column from The Wellingtonian reviews The Hop Garden and The Bruhaus - two new bars in the Capital.  The column is titled "Wellington's beer scene keeps improving":

The service is attentive and efficient, with former Malthouse stalwart Scott Boswell a star behind the bar.  There is an ever-changing selection of 11 tap beers, plenty of interesting bottles and a menu that just keeps improving.  Tuatara, Renaissance, Three Boys and Emerson's beers are usually available.  The food selection ranges from pub staples to gourmet meals.  Try the sardines for brunch, the salt and pepper squid as a snack or the braised goat tagine for dinner.

Beer Haiku Friday: Not Radler related...

Today's 'regular' Beer Haiku weekly is titled "Why" and is not related to any beer-related controversies in New Zealand right about now:

Why do people think
that their choices should be forced
on everyone?
