If you're looking for something to do to pass the winter blues by, look no further than the
Brew of Islands Festival
taking place next weekend in Kerikeri.
The festival is a celebration of the best of what the region has to offer, from food, music, and of course local breweries.
Unofficial northland champion, Gerry Paul is one of the event organisers.
Gerry was previously Wellington's CubaDupa festival director for many years and he currently runs Northlands premier arts venue,
The Turner Centre.
He speaks with Paddy Gower.
