At the weekend Martin attended the Northland Craft Beer, Wine & Spirits Expo in Waitangi, and was happy to catch up with Ben Heaven from Heaven's Brewery. We featured an interview with Ben in one of the earlier episodes of our podcast. Link to episode below: open.spotify.com/episode/6vMt...

A clear plastic cup of dark beer above a beer label. The beer is called "Judas Sheep" dark lager, and the label features a black and white photo of a sheep's face. The sheep is called Myrtle.

A set of beer coasters on a wooden bar. The beers are called "Judas Sheep" dark lager, "Gimmer's Gold" pilsner, "Tigerfish" India pale ale and "Indian Runner" extra pale ale.
The coasters feature black & white photos of (respectively) the face of a sheep called Myrtle, a pair of sheep-shearing clippers, the jawbone of a scary-looking fish, and a line of four white Indian runner ducks.
