14th March 2009: New Zealand Beer Festival

I went along to this beer festival with Ken, a colleague from CHP. Sophie, being essentially allergic to beer, decided to give this one a miss.

I haven't been to many beer festivals, but this one was quite different to what I expected. It was more of a general party with beer-sampling as an excuse than anything - quite good fun. There were far fewer beards on display than I would have expected, and much more fancy-dress.

There were live bands too, one of which spent about 20 minutes playing that "I don't know...." song that Kiwis seem to have adopoted as an anthem. What is it actually called though...?
