Christchurch earthquake cuts beer supply - NZ Herald
As if they haven't suffered enough, Cantabrians toiling to clean up after Saturday's quake now face a potential shortage of Canterbury Draught beer.

And the rest of the country also faces running out of a number of well-known brands, including Guinness, Beck's and the Macs Craft range.

Lion Nathan's Christchurch brewery - which suffered heavy damage in the 7.1 magnitude quake - is closed, and likely to stay that way until the end of the week. It is the sole producer of the four popular labels.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

And it serves Lion right. They should never have shifted production away from Nelson, when they bought the brand. All the successful micro-breweries in NZ were bought out by the two majors. Sucks.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
