Smash 'n' GABS III




As is now tradition we smuggled a couple of operatives in to various editions of the Great Australasian Beer Spectapular. They diligently tasted their way through a lot of the beers, and managed to remember some of them. They reported back with various drunken ramblings and snapchats of a brass band playing Sweet Caroline. 

Upon their return they were debriefed and the necessary information extracted from Untappd and sent off to a code breaking unit for deciphering. The 8 top beers were found and procured for your drinking pleasure, we will be tapping them all from midday TOMORROW. Oh, yes we WILL be doing flights $48 for 200ml of each beer.

Hot off the press, Newtowns favourite sons Good Boy Sammies will be taking over our kitchen and firing out their delicious sandwiches from 5pm

Those of you who made it to last nights tasting no doubt left with a little rosy glow in your cheeks, and a brief glimpse of the calibre of beers in store for next week's tasting (hint there are THREE Almanac sours). Tickets are still available online and over the bar.

This is the new physical home of the Cult Beer Store and houses what might be the craziest range of high end beers in town."

Saturday Sports & All That Jazz


This Saturday we welcome Ol' King Cole to the Hashigo Stage 
 

Ol’ King Cole” brings you the hits of the great Nat ‘King’ Cole, & his trio. Performing the sounds of many other great tunes & artists of his era & more!

Ol’ King Cole are a Wellington based Jazz trio lead by Piano/Vocalist, Louis Thompson-Munn. The drumless trio perform music inspired by the great Nat ‘King’ Cole and other artists of his era, specifically with a focus on Nat’s early trio which ran from 1943 – 1950.  The trio includes Tom Botting (Tom Botting Quintet) on double bass, and Callum Allardice (The Jac) on guitar. A brilliant, lively performance is always a guarantee with the spirit of the old house band alive, before TVs in bars and when people would dance the night away! 

Here's a brief sample

 
As ever our live entertainment is free, the band starts at 10:30pm. 

Prior to that we will be screening Crusaders vs Sharks at 7:35pm in the Super Rugby Quarter Finals. (we will also be screening the Hurricanes vs the Chiefs on Friday)

Hashigo Zake Cult Film Basement

You can probably already guess that this weeks film was a commercial flop....It's a cult film that's just what they do. But guess what? It also won a bunch awards at Indie Film Festivals all over the place. Solidifying it's Cult status. If that wasn't enough, It also suffered a remake in 2008 (0% on rotten tomatoes, so.....future cult film right there, you heard it here first)

Long Weekend is an Aussie horror focussing on a married couple and their dog disrespecting nature, until nature has enough...

"My premise was that Mother Earth has her own auto-immune system, so when humans start behaving like cancer cells, She attacks. I also wanted to avoid a JAWS like critter film. I wanted the Long Weekend beasties to all be benign-looking and not overtly aggressive"

So, horror movie for hippies? possibly, A huge a mount of fun for free on a Sunday night? definitely.




Grab a beer, some hop salted popcorn and relax in front of our newish Hashigozcope™ screen.
