Cafes Closing But Not At Brewtown

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt's unique Brewtown is all set to step up and expand its array of cafes/restaurants which shows just how well the entertainment and craft beer complex is performing.

Cafes and restaurants are closing and changing hands like never before in this Covid era. But the rise and rise of Brewtown is being maintained.

Brewtown has currently got five restaurants/cafes associated with craft beer specialists directly or indirectly.

These will be joined shortly by a bicycle-theme cafe.
The adjoining workshop can easily convert your normal bike with an E-bike function. The cafe will have free use of bikes and trikes for kids and no doubt will be well suited for the growing cycling populous as a cycle cafe centre. Of course craft beer will be available along with usual cafe refreshments and the promise of delicious cafe meals of all kinds.

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM

Michael from Trentham

Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.

In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.

What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.

Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
