Not too long ago, George and I headed out to Newlands (which wasn’t as far away or as, you know, rural as my City-boy brain had somehow assumed) to sit down for chat with Aidan and Nikki of the new Baylands Brewery \u2014 a fully-fledged commercial brewery built on tiny-tiny scale in their garage.1<\/sup><\/a><\/a> We talk about turning a hobby into a business, juggling the many responsibilities involved, plans for the future \u2014 and how the whole enterprise very-nearly fell apart right at the outset. Since we recorded, the official launch night took place at Golding’s Free Dive here in Wellington \u2014 to apparent smashing success \u2014 so keep an eye out for more Baylands beer popping up around town; I definitely enjoyed my glass of American IPA, and (as you’ll hear) our two Baylands-brewed Beers of the Week.<\/p>\n
