For our third beer review of this week-long series, we try out the latest addition to the Auckland microbrewing scene.
If you're in Auckland and looking for no-frills, good quality beer, read on.
Fresh Beer Brew Company has recently opened its doors in Te Atatu Peninsula. At first, it seems like just another liquor store (it sells wine, a small selection of craft beer and even some mass-produced stuff, to please every palate). But when you look closely and notice the taps on the walls, you realise this isn't your average bottle store.
Fresh Beer Brew brews its beers (try saying that three times really fast) on site at the small Te Atatu location. You can't drink it there but you can buy 750ml bottles to take home. They'll fill it for you on the spot and that's as fresh as it gets.
I grabbed a bottle of IPA #1 and used this review as an excuse to go home and have a drink. The handwritten best-before date on the bottle was only two days after purchase and I didn't want to run any risks so the 3.6 approximate standard drinks were swiftly dealt with (this is a responsible beer review so, don't worry, I shared).
