[LCA2015-Chat] Fwd: Craft beer places in Auckland CBD

[Peter Lawler]

Last night I found myself in The Bluestone Room, Durham Lane[1]. It's 
currently operated by Monteith's Brewing. Sign on the front says it's 
the oldest stone building remaining in the commercial centre of Auckland.

However, what really caught my eye - and the reason I mention it - is 
that at Sun-Thu 5-6PM & Fri 5-7PM they don't have 'Happy Hour', they 
have 'Attitude Adjustment Hour'[2], which certain caught the attention 
of this OpenWRT user[3].

(I didn't ask, least my illusions are shattered...)

Cheers,

Pete.
