Nearby: Founders Park, Abel Tasman National Park
Notes: This brewpub is within a little historical park, founders park. Wouldn't have minded wandering around a bit, but somebody I happened to be traveling with objected to paying $7 for entry to the park. So he pled with the girl at the entrance to let us in for free, promising we'd go straight to the brewery. So that we did.
It was a pleasant stop, we sat outside and enjoyed a sampler. They were all pretty good. The Blonde was nice and malty with a slight saaz kick. The Red Head was my favorite with rich biscuity malt flavors. Biscuity seems to be a britishism but it is a very fitting description. The Generation was a bit peppery, and nice, although being a Brown could have been maltier. The Long Black was a dark lager, rather than a stout, but very nice.
