Nelsonian here. Just had your channel pop up on my feed, liked what I saw and subscribed. I'm sure you're aware of it but if not Nelson has a beer festival called Marchfest (held in March) at the Founders Heritage Park. There's usually around 16 beers brewed specifically for the event by mostly local breweries, but in recent years a handful of breweries from outside the region have been invited in. It's a fun day out with street food stalls, merchandise tents, live music and in the past they have held seminars from brewers and in one of the buildings they show part of the brewing process. They also have a selection of wine and cider for non beer drinkers. It's a great day out.
Hey Noel, so glad to hear it!! I have heard rumblings of Marchfest but your breakdown is by far the most detailed explanation so I am very thankful you shared it! I’m assuming it’s in March because a lot of fresh hop beers from the harvest are likely ready to go?? I’ll see ya there 🍻😃
Dude !!! Your videos are awesome. I'm glad you're having a primo time in this beautiful country. "Wow", it's impossible not to say wow in Milford sound.
Thanks a lot, Hayden!! It’s been a blast. You couldn’t be more right, looking forward to going back to Milford in a few weeks!! 😊 Keep making great content and have an awesome 2024 my friend 🍻
Very happy you are enjoying New Zealand. I am sure you and Brittany have entertained thousands of us kiwis with your adventures. Have a safe holiday and a happy new year.
Your videos are awesome. Full of positivity and a fantastic advertisement for the country. In fact, they are part of the reason why we are considering moving back to NZ from the UK. It is easy to forget how bloody amazing New Zealand is. Thanks for your hard work and wishing you all the very best for 2024.
Wow! Thanks you very much for saying that 😊 I would love to spend some more time in the UK and travel more in Europe but I can relate. I’ve found more appreciation for Canada the longer I’ve been here. Sometimes nothing beats home. Thank you for watching 🍻
Woooowww! 😍 Really loved this video, great job. Music, text, transitions, vibe, everything on point 👌 What an incredible 2023, can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for us ❤
DK, your videos are an inspiration and you deserve a lot more than a thousand bucks - I mean how many pies would that buy? Thanks and have a great 2024
Wooow, what a jurney you have been on this year. 👍Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures this year.💕 We love your vlogs very much. Both of you are such a great story tellers.💕 Happy New Year to both of you.🍾🥂 Lots of love. 💖
Thank you so much ☺️ your comments are always so appreciated and we can’t thank you enough for watching 🥰 have a wonderful New Years and a great 2024!! 🎉🍻😃
Love your content. I live across the ditch in Tasmania, the similarities never made NZ a priority for me, but as a craft beer lover, from a place with some good ones too. Your video on Dunedin Craft Beer festival has me researching a trip 🍻
Thanks a lot for saying that! I’m so glad to hear that the craft beer content isn’t just for myself haha there’s been an overwhelmingly good amount of craft breweries here. I hope you make the trip and find some good ones. Cheers, Graeme!! 🍻🙏
You guys could have had a family meal with us in Chch but you never took us up on it! You picked the best place to settle FOR SURE. Have the best summer x
Happy New year to you and Britney bro, hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2024. Look forward to seeing more content from you guys. 🎉🎊🎉🍻
Subbed Donovan! You're a Legend. I am a Kiwi, wife is Canadian, currently in Ontario but this will be the last Canadian year for us, heading back home to do exactly what you guys are doing! The stoke is high bro!! See you in Dunedin 2025 bro!
Hey thanks a lot, so glad to hear you enjoyed the video!! I’m sure New Zealand will be a pleasant experience after Ontario 😂 JK it’s a lovely place but I’d rather live down here!! Cheers 🍻😃
I hope you checked all the beers in on Untappd. And if you do go home, feel free to come back anytime! Maybe even stay! Happy positive people? Yeah, that's our jam.
Haha good call, I’m getting worse and worse at my Untappd check ins but my phone has over 100 random pics of beers so I gotta get to that. Thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it. I’m honestly looking forward to coming back and we haven’t even left yet 😂
Donovan, your videos are totally awesome! I have enjoyed them very much. Thank you for all your hard work! Are you staying in NZ? You are in Nelson, right?
We have! It has been one of my favourite places to see here so far, I have a video on it as well. It’s far out of the way for a lot of travellers but I think it’s a must see 😃
@donovankelly12 ohh ok will have to find that one. Really enjoying your videos and hapoy you are having a good trip. Even though it's pretty PRICEY to vist/live here. Oh the BEER 🍺 BEER 🍺 BEER 🍺 element is awesome. You guys stay safe and have a great time. I lice in Auckland but my favourite town is Taupo with the lake, river, forest, mountain, being half way between Akld & Wellington, close to Rotorua/Napier and thermal activities
So, what is stopping you for applying for Dual citizenship? I say on my FB, its Tomorrow in New Zealand! You have not mentioned visiting the Summit of Mount Te Aroha, or are you saving that because of its Maori name meaning?. I regret not learning to surf at Raglan Beach, like Elvis did in his Four Hawaii movies, =dont post those youtube clips, i enjoy craft beer, my lab tests are normal. Greg in Auckland.
The only thing stopping us is all of our friends and family back in Canada. Absolutely love it here but Canada will always be home. Haven’t been to that part of the Country as of yet! Still quite a few spots on the North Island we need to see, don’t know if we will see all of them so might have to do that later in life. Thank you for watching 😊
@@donovankelly12 Dual citizenship is a theme, and ACC, dont be shy to claim that if you need too. I dont know about Ambulance costs, is that something for your American Audience? or is this a Kiwi Health Care Topic?
