Good Bastards Hall of Fame

Alan Absalom

The man behind the Good Bastards Brewery is Alan Absalom. Alan started the brewery several years ago and as a result of a referral from Monteiths when I approached them about a Good Bastards Beer (They didn’t want to know about it) contact was made.

All we wanted was to have a beer with our own label for Good Bastards Day.

Alan already had a very successful brand with his totally organic beer Green Fern.

The brewery is called Miners Brewery and its situated in the heart of the town in Westport. Right behind the town clock. For beer orders phone 03 789 8119

Alan advised us that he had two beer recipes that would be suitable for what we wanted. So to sort out which one a series of beer tastings were organised in the North Island and in the South Island.

The problem was that both beers were so bloody good that the vote was split evenly down the middle.

So it was decided to run with both the Lager and the Dark.

Then every bastard started to hear about it through the TV, Radio and Newspapers coverage of GOOD BASTARDS DAY and wanted to try it.

Well the rest is History in the making. The beer is penetrating into the market place with new outlets coming on stream every week. Over 40 new ones last week alone.

So heres to you Alan, not only is your beer a Good Bastard, so are you. There is no disputing that.
