Thought it would be time to let people know a little more, so you have a chance to get tickets for the Great Kiwi Beer Festival (and flights if you are out-of-town).
Greg Koch from Stone Brewing Co. is in New Zealand on holiday (sabbatical), taking a break, rebooting, but he has made himself and his beers available at a couple of events here in NZ.
Next Thursday there is the amazing 50 tap Wellington City Takeover (there are tap takeovers and then city takeovers, only Stone could do this). The Stone beers are going to be split between The Malthouse and the Fork & Brewer. When the special beers (they will all be special, as they are fresh and direct from the brewer in San Diego), rare beers then, will be announced via social media, so you know which location they are at. (See you next week Wellington, there is no way I’m missing this)
Check out this article just posted about Stone Brewing Co. & Greg Koch in New Zealand by The Beerhive’s Shane Cowlishaw – A beer blitzkrieg
The article gives a little background into how this all came about.
Here are the beers that will be on the Epic / Stone stall at the Great Kiwi Beer Fest (plus Greg Koch and myself). I’m sure there will be a beer for everyone to enjoy.

Hey Luke, can you smuggle some “4 Horseman of the Hopocolypse” on to the pallet for the GKBF…? With that and the Stone Brewery Co selection, I will only need to visit one tent all day… 🙂
I’ll see what I can do…
