Congratulations Luke for your Epic Beer win! Looks like I've got some catching up to do when I get back to NZ.
There's been frequent talk on our brewcrew listserv about NZ organic hops. Were there any organic categories at the competition? Our beer world in the Northwest is swinging considerably toward organic hops and grain.
