UPDATE: Due to that dast­ardly weath­er caus­ing hav­oc across Wel­ling­ton today the Beer & Blade Vanuatu Fun­draiser has been post­poned until tomor­row night, Fri­day, 15 May.

You may recall, amidst all the atro­cit­ies that occur on a far too reg­u­lar basis through­out the world, that in mid-March Vanuatu was hit by Cyc­lone Pam. The cyc­lone killed over 10 people, impacted on the lives of tens of thou­sands of people in Vanuatu and neigh­bour­ing islands and des­troy­ing infra­struc­ture. The island of Tanna was espe­cially dev­as­ted with many of the crops of cava, coconut and cof­fee, that con­trib­ute a large amount to the eco­nomy being des­troyed.

This Thursday, 14th May, you have the chance to do some good while drink­ing beer as Boar & Blade, Tuatara and Mojo are fun­drais­ing at The Third Eye.

Mojo Cof­fee, who got the last of the cof­fee beans from Tanna before Cyc­lone Pam hit, teamed up with Tuatara and have made the new Vanuatu Cof­fee Port­er. Not only can you get your lips around a tasty port­er, per­fectly matched by the weath­er we are hav­ing, you can also get your haircut/beard trimmed by the guys from Boar & Blade AND you can be an awe­some human and donate $$ to the cof­fee grow­ers of Vanuatu to help them get them back on their feet.

You may think that this will leave you feel­ing fant­ast­ic and you’d be right! You’ll feel even bet­ter when you real­ise you can get all of this for only $20. And fear not! If the idea of a port­er does not appeal you can choose any oth­er pint that’s on offer, with all pro­ceeds assist­ing cof­fee grow­ers who sup­ply beans to Mojo Cof­fee in cyc­lone-hit Vanuatu.
