a refreshing target

For those who have had their tea and fancy something a little stronger, YIC recommends Cardrona Gold from Wanaka Beerworks. It's a 4% ABV copper coloured refreshing ale that is preservative free and available from the Kai cafe. And what's more, you can stamp your Brewski card everytime you have a pint. After 9 pints (not necessarily on the same night readers will be relieved to hear) the 10th is free. YIC is currently 50% there.

And after a night in the pleasant company of Claire & Smithy from the UK, YIC is there! Being a generous soul, he gave the card for his free pint to Paul who gave him a lift back from the French Ridge walk. YIC has now embarked on his quest for another free pint. Last night he enjoyed a few drinks in the company of Barry from Wanaka and Dawn & Jim from Napier, whilst some local musicians played some mellow blue grass tunes. It's a tough life if you don't weaken...
