Gorgeous Saturday here in the jewel of the south (Kawatiri/Westport). Sun is shining, mulled wine is steeping, and the grill is heating up for burgers and tacos. Everyone saying it's the "place to be" and who are we to argue?

Mulled wine is back for winter. Plus next Tuesday, Luke and Emma will be giving a talk at the Buller District Library. Free.

Pop up this weekend with the crew from Mister Chops. Then, on June 28, we've got a five course dinner. Gonna have Kiwi Dark Lager-Old Fashioneds and Feijoa IPA negroni on the menu, too. Only in Kawatiri/Westport (the jewel of the south) Menus: shortjaw.co.nz/events

Two new beers Neon Sun and Vivid Sun. Both are big, delicious IPAs with 100% NZ ingredients. Vivid Sun includes locally grown, organic, Feijoa. At our taproom, and headed to your local supermarket soon. Plus on tap at Good Drop Rangiora (and more to come).

We're on the telly this week. Wednesday, 7.30, sharing some beers our new friends Manu and Colin

We've got new art for winter, from our good friend, Lance Kerr. A local artist who we've long admired, even before we started showing his art in the taproom. www.lancekerrpainter.com

This Saturday, we've got the team from Mister Chops doing smash burgers, pork tacos, and prawn po' boys. Plus we're pouring a NZ Draught through our taps. Single keg only. Menu for the weekend:

Sunny weekend (again) in Westport, and we've got Chilean food at the brewery on Saturday. Our man, Ariel, is making Chilean-style hot dogs, alongside empanadas and potato cakes.

Two versions of a new IPA launching next month. Lots of hops. All NZ ingredients. One featuring locally grown organic feijoa.
