  • Tupelo has moved its beer menu to all boutique styles, with only Heinek­en remain­ing on its menu as a main­stream drop. They also have the very tasty Nel­son Bays Gold and Nel­son Bays Pils­ner on tap, with (classy glass) jugs for just $10.
  • Mean­while the Wel­ling­tonista’s semi-tiki bar of choice, Imbibe is now offer­ing brunch on Fri­day-Sunday. While there was no obvi­ously dis­played menu on the win­dows, the people sit­ting con­ten­tedly in the sun appeared to be tuck­ing in to large plates of eggs. Hope­fully they’ll have more on offer for those of us less eggily inclined, because it’s a gor­geous space and looks very nice and chilled out for a hangover break­fast.
  • And finally, the Domin­ion Post can as usu­al be relied on to run front-page stor­ies about the weath­er in exact reverse of what’s going on that day, so today’s rain brings a ‘Drought!’ cov­er story. Hur­rah!
