Whether you love beer or think you don't like beer – then prepare to be surprised!

One of the outstanding features of the 2016 NZPIF Conference will be the Icebreaker event Friday night –  with beer and food matching from Taranaki's own mikes organic brewery.  We will be trying five different beers matched with food, with commentary from the owner Ron Trigg. Learn about the different flavours in beer – like grapefruit!  And discover how different foods can affect the taste of the beer.  There is something for everyone – even dessert.  And to top it all off there will be a Taranaki and beer themed quiz with fantastic prizes.
