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.
