However, many injured Kiwis seeking to dispute rejected claims are concerned ACC is using private attorneys to outsmart them.

Hello Brewers

I have been brewing beer (and spirits in my early days) for a few years and love it - making and drinking. If you are brewing as well, or would like to start, then you may be interested in a brand new club starting up.

I have rather imaginatively called it the Mt Pleasant Home Brewing Club - although everyone is welcome. If you'd like to register your interest then logon the Facebook and join up to the group I have started there.

I'm thinking, a meet up every couple of months at the Mt Pleasant community centre, sample everyone's product and general chat about how to do it better - get in a speaker?

Interested? Search Mt Pleasant Home Brew Club on Facebook and put your ideas on there.
