 Selaks
National Roast Day, Nationwide. Why: To save
our national meal, the Sunday Roast. Selaks is bringing
back the Roast. New Zealand’s
leading wine company
feels it’s time to celebrate
our traditional gastronomy by dedicating a day in its honour. There are reports
that
the roast is disappearing from our menus, and a recent survey by researchers
at Chatham
House shows that steep rises in food prices are likely to consign the traditional
Sunday roast to a rare household event within two decades. With a proud 76 year
history of bringing family and friends together over good food and wine, Selaks
is determined not to see this culinary stalwart become just a page in our country’s
rich epicurean history. |

 BrewNZ
Beer Awards and Beervana, Wellington
Town Hall, Wellington, NZ. Brewers from around New Zealand will
be showcasing their finest
beers at
Beervana - Friday
27 August & Saturday 28 August, Wellington Town Hall - an event which
gives the public a first hand opportunity to meet local brewers,
try award winning beers and festive brews released especially for
the show.
With limited tickets allocated to each session, this highly popular event focuses
on offering people a quality tasting experience and beer-related
seminars.
Beervana follows on from the BrewNZ Beer Awards, New Zealand’s
premier beer competition, now in its ninth year and growing every year. The award
winners will be announced
in Wellington on Thursday, 26th of August, the night before the opening of Beervana.
At Beervana, the public will have the chance to sample some of these award winning
beers and to meet the brewers behind them.
The BrewNZ Beer Awards and Beervana are run by the Brewers Guild of New
Zealand which represents more than 50 brewers around the country, ranging
from small
brewers up to the two largest brewers DB and Lion. The Guild’s Chairman, David
Cryer, says that the huge growth in awards entries last year, up 75% to over
350 entries, reflects the popularity and growth in premium craft* brewing. “Consumers
are increasingly choosing premium craft beers, despite them usually selling at
a premium price, with an 11 percent increase in premium craft beer sales over
the last year. While the sales value of premium craft beer is up, it appears
that individually we’re actually drinking less, with total alcohol consumption
having fallen by 3.3 percent,” says David Cryer. “What’s happening is that consumers
are becoming more discerning about what they drink, opting to savour and enjoy
a well crafted beer, with greater variety and complexity of taste.”
Tickets to Beervana are $30 which include the first drink, with $25 tickets for
group bookings of ten or more - available at www.ticketek.co.nz.
New World is the major sponsor of Beervana 2010.
