Since I've started on Hello Sunday Morning, the most challenging thing is not the most obvious.
I love beer so much that I invested in a brewery when my favourite drop, Moa, went public on the share market late last year.
I attended the launch party of their prospectus in Auckland and I attended it sober. I knew I was going to invest before I got there, so naturally it seemed all that was left to do was celebrate. I took some mates along to introduce them to the most drinkable thing to come out of Marlborough since ... well, forever.
But as the evening went on my mates' reactions to me not drinking was harder to cope with than the taste of ginger beer.
It started with gentle ribbings like: Are you pregnant? Are you underage? Did you get drunk and kill a man? Or I get it, you've found Buddha!
