Prominent Christchurch-based distributor Hop And Vine says the loss of three potential new customers combined with changing drinking habits and tough economic conditions led to their liquidation. Hop And Vine and another company it half-owned, ABV Beverages, both went into liquidation this month, leaving several breweries out of pocket to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

Mac Hops in Motueka celebrated 125 years of growing hops with a bumper harvest, but it was also a harvest that summed up the tough nature of hop-growing — both now and historically. “We had some great yields come through but unfortunately it’s not a great year to have good yields,” says Brent McGlashan, the latest in a long line of hop-growing McGlashans — fifth generation in fact.

Having written about fresh hops for around 15 years I sometimes wonder if there’s anything new to say — but after talking to American hop professor Tom Shellhammer recently, I find myself not only wanting to sample as many fresh hop beers as possible, to try all the hop expressions, all the regional differences.

Beer expert and writer Michael Donaldson chooses the ideal beers to pair with your favourite potato chips, because what’s better than a frosty pint and salty crisps?

New Zealand’s oldest craft brewery, Sunshine Brewing in Gisborne, looking for new owners or — more intriguingly — seeking expressions of interest for a merger with an existing brand. The move comes as the trio of existing owners, who have been at the helm for the past 12 years of Sunshine’s 36-year history, move into retirement. Sunshine is best known for the iconic Gisborne Gold, which makes up the bulk of the brewery’s production. Co-owner Martin Jakicevich said the brewery needed new energy.
