THE FERMENTIST
There’s no denying that making beer uses a lot
of water, but there’s a new brewery in town
that’s determined to use its resources more
sustainably. The Fermentist, Christchurch’s newest
microbrewery, taproom and café serving up
signature beer, cider and kombucha on tap. The
Kiwi Pale Ale is already becoming a favourite,
made with Nelson and Motueka hops, it’s easy
to drink and perfect for all occasions. If you
prefer something a bit sour (and not too sweet),
their cider is light and tart. Their menu consists
of delicious bites using vegetables from their
own garden as well as kimchi, sauerkraut and
fermented pickles. They’re living up to their name
in more ways than one and we know we’ll be
spending a lot more time in Sydenham sampling
every drink on the menu.

BANG BANG STREET EATS // ROTI
Brought to us by the same team behind Potsticker Dumpling Bar and
Sister Kong, Bang Bang is the latest pop-up to hit The Colombo and we
couldn’t be more excited. The Vietnamese hawker bar has, you guessed
it, hawker rolls, lettuce cups and loaded fries. Try the banh mi roti, which
is both fresh and filling, or the irresistible pork hawker roll. We’ll see you
there at lunchtime.
