🏥 HIT THE PUB THIS KING'S BIRTHDAY 🏥

Abandoned Petone will be open all long weekend, INCLUDING MONDAY!!?! An entirely extra day that, if you've been paying close attention, we're not usually open. We know that's very exciting news, and you'll all no doubt be running into the bar as fast as possible! But maybe take a lesson from Kim's mistake and wear non-slip footwear...

🤳 RED IPA? 🤳

The iconic and much loved Abandoned Red IPA is now back on tap at Abandoned Petone! Is a Red IPA an autumn drink? spring beer? The truth is that time is meaningless. Drink Red IPA at 10 am on a Tuesday in February (responsibly), and enjoy big toffee malt richness with citrus hop bite to back it up.

Also how about these beautiful pics sent through by Abandoned Petone's newest product photographer/bar manager Kim! Let us know what you think in the comments!!?!

💕 HOLIDAY HOURS 💕

As a special Christmas treat, we've decided to force a bunch of our staff into not taking holidays so that YOU can eat drink and be merry in our taprooms right the way into the new year!

We've even decided to open up some days we wouldn't usually, so study these images and lock in a visit on your calendars! And, just to top things off, there will also be a very special beer on tap... Something that rhymes with Hazy #19...

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc etc!
