March already…in fact second week of March… ouch. I still got a post in my draft folder that I need to post that was originally titled “January pics and news”… now reads..” Jan & Feb pics and news”…. oh dear you can see where that is going! So after a lovely day out today and a really nice weekend I though I really can’t not post some pics just because I not had time write up Jan and Feb… so here you go!
Today I spent a lovely day out with my friends Dru and Rob. I drove out late morning and picked everyone up in Gonubie. We where going to go have tea at Tea in the Trees, but the rain was coming down a bit so there was no market. We figured we may as well head straight to Emerald Vale Brewery then and have drinks there. The rain had pretty much cleared by the time we got there and it was really a lovely setting, on a farm a couple kilometres off the main road.
We settled down, ordered coffee and had a nice relaxing lazy in the really big comfy couches they got there. We had to squeeze in next to the locals though… (the pooches seemed to think the weather was the perfect excuse to take up position on the couch!)
We had a lovely lunch (good food and reasonably priced) and then did a brewery tour. Very interesting and amazing how much beer they produce in a relatively small area. 12’000 litres a month at present.
After our tour and tasting (love the beer!) we finished off with a dessert and a little walk around.
Great lunch, chilled atmosphere and Chris and his staff are friendly and great. I’ll be back there for sure! And yes there are cows. And great beer.
