Greetings Tilt,
Made in New Zealand apparently... unlike the beer itself which is brewed here in Melbourne.
On a side note, apparently my brother is going to be (presumably an extra?) in a beer ad... so hopefully it's as good!
Metta,

Oh yeah, that is a classic.

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
