Now that is a truly excellent name for a brewery.
My own run-in with the New Zealand numbers was five years ago now, and Michael (at hoppiness.co.nz) did a similar exercise a few years after mine. Interesting that Oregon featured so prominently in the "report" I was pushing back against; presumably that number was as shaky as the rest.
