I just stumbled on this other New England Brewing Company in New South Whales: https://www.facebook.com/NewEnglandBrewery Has this been brought up here before?
God, now when people are talking about NEBCO, how will I know if they're talking about the one here or the one on the other side of the world?
They are obviously newer and smaller, but relatively not that much less popular given the lesser density of population there. Their production is probably close to what NEBCO's was just a few years ago. So what we could be seeing is the reverse of the "Epic" situation, where the New Zealand beer company was larger and more established when the one in Utah came along. In fact, I was so used to the New Zealand beer, that until I started to get used to the Utah brewery's beer names, I kept thinking that I was seeing new releases from New Zealand when I saw the "Epic" name on boards at some beer bars.
