After hav­ing a great even­ing at Fork and Brew­er last week for the Offi­cial Wel­ling­tonista Unof­fi­cial Web­stock Wed­nes­day War­mup, where large num­bers of loc­al beer and large plat­ters of deli­cious nibbles were placed before us like the Web Roy­alty we wish/pretend/believe ourselves to be, I was extremely excited to hear about the event they are hold­ing this Thursday. That’s right! Three days from now!

Steph­en Beau­mont, hail­ing from the land of maple syr­up, Neil Young, moose, ice hockey and the less­er known Justin Beiber, is a food/beer/travel writer who has writ­ten for more pub­lic­a­tions than I dare men­tion and has trav­elled the world to do so. In short, Steph­en is liv­ing my dream life!

The Fork & Brew­er are host­ing Steph­en on Thursday night for a sev­en course beer and food matched din­ner. Hav­ing eaten from their menu on a couple of occa­sions, and fallen in love with the Tuatara Port­er Marsh­mal­low, the pro­spect of sit­ting down and tast­ing the delect­able beers that New Zea­l­and has to offer, along­side a sample of New Zeal­and’s best cuisine is one that appeals.

So fel­low Wel­ling­ton beer and food enthu­si­asts – I urge you to take this oppor­tun­ity to con­sume sev­en courses of fine food and draughts, with a man who knows what fine food and draughts truly are.

You can thank the Fork & Brew­er along with Tuatara and Moa Brew­er­ies for this event. While Moa Brew­ery leaves a ‘bit­ter’ taste in the mouth (their ad cam­paigns, and half­hearted apo­lo­gies re: pre­vi­ously men­tioned cam­paigns, res­ul­ted in my avoid­ing their brews des­pite them obvi­ously doing some­thing right) I am a big Tuatara Ardennes fan and a fan of any­one encour­aging the sampling of bet­ter beers and food in har­mony.
