Happy Tuesday Cantabs,

The family behind a brewery born from the rubble of the Christchurch earthquakes are “in a state of disbelief” following their third win at the World Beer Awards.

Cassels & Sons has thrived in its Woolston site since the quakes struck a decade ago.

The small Garden City brewery pipped several well-known global brands with its third win in a row at the awards, leaving owner Alasdair Cassels​ in “a state of disbelief”.

Not bad from little old Woolston, eh?

Any recommendations welcomed. Preferably someone whose charges are reasonable, and who listens to what the client wants. (Our last exponent was rather condescending and removed some things I had not asked for. Too late by then -- you can't tack a branch back on the tree!)
