Last week we made a trip over to Westport (located on the west coast of the South Island).
One of the highlights of the trip besides the beautiful weather and scenery was West Coast Brewing (also home of Good Bastards beer). You literally walk into the center of the brewery (pipes, forklift and all) and start drinking beer.
Rather than pimp up their brewery/beer with things like atmosphere, bottles, bottle caps, labels and packaging, you essentially help yourself to one of the beer hoses (seriously there were several hoses attached to a tap connected to its Mother beer) and fill up whatever container you brought in with you.
Price of a two liter plastic bottle?
10 cents
Cost of two liters of beer?
$12
The experience of drinking beer from a hose?
Priceless
(AND for the record...they have hands down the best pale ale I have ever tasted.)

We went there, too! Did you get to meet the three old guys who do the brewing? They told us dirty jokes all afternoon which we could barely understand through the accent and slight beer-induced slur. One of our favorite memories from our NZ trip.
