This weekend just gone was the NZ Beer Festival and the Big Gay Out. Pienui was there for both and we had a very busy and long weekend.

It was our second time at the Beer Festival and it was proven once again that beer and pies make for a wicked combination. After a few teething problems with the event’s point-of-sale system, we managed to get into a rhythm and soon pies were flying out the door without pause for eight hours straight.

The Big Gay Out was a smaller affair but the change in pace was welcome. I was surprised to see quite a few familiar faces from people who had been at the Beer Festival the night before.

Overall a good weekend and one I won’t be forgetting for awhile.

Things are back to normal this week and we’re back at the markets this weekend. See you then.
