I give a way a TON of Free Beer. Really, any chance I get, I try to give my product away - because who doesn't like a free beer? Especially one that's been brewed and refined for decades by some of the best brewing minds in the industry. But, why do I give away so much beer? It's simple - giving it away has a return far beyond the cost of beer - both in terms of business, and in goodwill. And if there's one thing more important than money in business - it's goodwill. Here's how it works... --- Join us for the Seaside Santa Dash, 2024 this weekend, Dec 21: https://lnkd.in/ekxRsAtB

𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 🍻 Cheers to International Beer Day! 🍻 Today, we celebrate the diverse and delightful world of beer. From rich stouts to crisp lagers, sour ales to refreshing non-alcoholic options, there’s a brew for everyone! Back in 2007, Jesse Avshalomov and his friends were enjoying a casual day of conversation and beers in Santa Cruz, California, when they conceived the idea of International Beer Day. Their vision was simple: 1. Bring friends together to appreciate the taste of beer. 2. Honor those who craft and serve our favorite brews. 3. Create a global celebration of beers from every culture, uniting people around the world. Fun Ways to Celebrate: • 🍲 Cook with Beer: Experiment with beer-infused recipes, like beer-battered fish, beer cheese soup, or a rich stout stew. • 🎮 Beer-themed Games: Host a beer trivia night or organize a beer pong tournament with friends. • 🌟 Beer and Food Pairing: Plan a beer and food pairing dinner, matching different beers with complementary dishes. • 📚 Learn More: Read a book or watch a documentary about the history and craft of beer brewing. • 🌎 Virtual Cheers: If you can’t meet in person, organize a virtual beer tasting session with friends from around the world. Why We Love International Beer Day: • A beer for every budget and preference. • Cherished memories at reunions, backyard cookouts, and get-togethers. Did You Know? • 📜 The oldest known recipe for beer dates back over 4,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia. • 🌟 The key ingredients of beer—water, barley, hops, and yeast—have remained largely unchanged for centuries. • 🗺 The German Beer Purity Law of 1516, Reinheitsgebot, is one of the oldest food regulations still in use today. • 🚀 Astronauts have brewed beer in space! The Vostok Space Beer project is working on creating a beer suitable for drinking in microgravity. So, how are you celebrating today? Share your favorite beer stories, tag your friends, and let’s toast to the incredible world of beer! 🍻 #Cheers #DrinkResponsibly #InternationalBeerDay #BeerDay #BeerDayCelebrations #Beerfest #BeerDayFest

In the next chapter of our #BrewingFacts series, let's tackle another prevalent myth surrounding beer consumption.   Enjoying a beer doesn't mean overindulgence. Beer consumption is about appreciating the craftmanship and quality of the Beer which the Brewer has nursed the Beer through & not quantity. For many, the experience serves as a relaxing environment for bonding and light-hearted conversations.   Remember, responsible drinking enhances the experience further, allowing you to savor the flavors and enjoy the craftsmanship behind each brew. Join us as we continue to shed light on common misconceptions about beer.   #MythVsFact #GoodTimes     This content is intended for individuals above legal drinking age only. Enjoy responsibly!

Another glorious summer day, another day with our beloved village local closed. Although I do get a sense that there might be something in the offing. We'll see. Watch this space. In the meantime, I'm adding a beer and venue guide to Beer Today. Not to replace any other guide, just as a standalone guide to which venues (pubs, bars, taprooms) are consistently great, and which beers (which must be available all the time or make regular appearances) are really unmissable. Let me know by emailing darren.norbury@gmail.com or via DM. Your suggestion(s) must include a reason behind the nomination, and all will be checked out thoroughly, of course, before being added to the guide. Go! #beer #pubs #cider #bars #taprooms #recommendations

Tonight i'm at Small Gods Taproom in Shaddock St for one of their epic events This one will be about Beer, Gear, and walking into some Fear! Let's have a beer together and hear the State of Play story - going alcfree, starting NZ's fastest growing brewery, the future of beer and how my mid-life anti-crisis continues walking 800kms across Spain.  First decision - what gear do I need? So I asked Ben at Living SImply.   Bar is open from 5pm and we will kick off 6:30pm till 8:30. I love beer and love walking. So I'm combining my two loves and walking 800kms across the top of Spain on the Camino Frances next March. Spain has the highest percentage of non-alc beer at 15% share of total beer. SO lots of market research to do? And 40 days of needing a beer after a long walk.   But how do you prepare for a trip like this and who can you trust for the right gear and the right advice. I chose Ben at Living Simply (Newmarket) and bought one of their Aarn Packs.   These guys have all the best gear for your adventuring and trusted Camino advice.  We thought we would include some beers and the story of @stateofplaybeer, to a Camino special gear review and Q&A with the experts.   It's FREE to attend, buy a beer (there is plenty of State of Play) and if you have already walked a camino bring your memories. Ben will bring along his best sellers to show for the Gear review. I will have some State of Play cans for you to take home too.
