Long time no see, Poodlefaker.
Another tasty brew by Craftwork 🍻 A must-visit when in #Oamaru ✅ Add it to your Kiwi #RoadTrip

"Saison Poodlefaker is our Christmas beer. It is ruby-coloured , and balanced with noble hops, liberally spiced, and Southern Rata honey added at the end of the boil.
In Belgium, Christmas beers are rich and heavy for the cold months. Ours is lighter for a N.Z. summer Christmas."

Today's good news story from NZ involves little blue penguins (kororā). I don't know what's in the water, but the Oamaru colony is having a bumper breeding season.

They'll break the previous record of 570 chicks in a season. So far 440 chicks have fledged and another 300 are ready to pop out. Penguins for everyone!

Go little kororā!

Does anyone have a good source for #knitting #wool (merino or merino blend) in #nz ? Something nice to work with and wear, good for a novice, and reasonably priced. I'll need about 800g of 8-10ply. I'm planning on making a sweater and the pattern calls for gauge of 10 cm on a 4.5 mm needle = 18 stitches. I've looked at some at #RibbonRose and at a shop when I was in #Oamaru. I really like some of them but I don't have much experience and having a hard time justifying the cost.

I know it's a long long shot, but The Night Circus is one of our all-time favorite books and this event looks amazing. Is there any chance anyone has an extra 1 or 2 tickets to The Night Circus at the #Oamaru #SteamPunk Festival that they would sell us? Either Friday or Saturday night. (Much less interested in the matinee) We would be eternally grateful.

Inspired by the Erin Morgenstern book of the same name, the Night Circus is not a show to just sit and watch! It's an immersive experience set...

Steampunk is alive and well in Oamaru, New Zealand. We stumbled upon Steampunk HQ today and it was a delight. #SteampunkHQ #Oamaru #Aotearoa #NewZealand

土曜日の午後2時20分ごろ、オアマル中心部で車がスピードを出しながらテムズストリートの踏切警報柱に正面衝突しました。運転手は20代後半から30代前半とみられ、救急隊員が鼻血の処置をしていました。目撃者によると、事故を起こした車は、レースをしていたグループの一台だったようです。事故は、車がイチェンストリートからテムズストリートに右折した直後に発生しました。この地域は、オアマル・ビクトリア地区に隣接しており、祝日の週末で歩行者で賑わっていました。 #Oamaru

Always a pleasure to drop by Craftwork in #Oamaru for a Belgian-style brew and "Belgian fries with double mayo". 😋

This version of their #tripel is a little bit sweeter than the OG but has nice spiced biscuit flavours as added bonus.

"Oude Relic - Our super Saison Tripel.... The French saison yeast we love with a strong grain bill, creating this unusual strong amber-coloured ale. Great for cellar aging."
