Brewtown Becoming More Bountiful

Michael from Trentham

Just when you thought Brewtown in Upper Hutt has got almost everything it possibly could have, along comes the Gillies Group with even further advancements.

The two most recent additions are an outdoor Farmers Market that started very modestly and has sprung up in produce stall numbers and public attendances; and an out-and-out cafe with a bicycling theme.

Just announced is a two million dollar canopy covering of the Farmers Market to make it an all-weather venue every Sunday as well as increasing its area size so that up to 100 stalls can be positioned within it.

It will be the only covered Farmers Market in NZ and is destined to attract hordes of people living in other parts of the region.

The semi enclosed area can also be used for other events such as concerts which is fantastic and gives Brewtown twin permanent "marquees" in respect to the one that was constructed a couple of years ago and was utilised for the very successful New Year's Eve gig last December 31.

Attended Beervana at Sky Stadium today and despite being a Friday morning/afternoon, a very big crowd converged around the concourse of this super stadium.
Brewtown was well represented by Te Aro, Boneface and Panhead who are all leaders among craft beer producers in NZ. Only my personal favourite Kereru from the wider Brewtown precinct was missing but hopefully they will be back again next year.

Despite being held indoors, Beervana was a no-mask wearing event - only about 5 people among 5000 seemingly wore masks when not drinking, eating during the time I was there.

Staying home over the break?

Toka Tū Ake EQC

The long weekend is the perfect time to make your place safer for an earthquake with these steps:

• Find out where you can turn off your water and gas mains
• Check your chimney for any signs of wear and tear, or damage
• Check your home's foundations are secured
• Move heavy items that are up high to safer, lower down locations.
• Secure tall and heavy furniture and appliances

These simple actions can keep your whānau safer in case of a big shake, so tick them off and make the most of your break.
