 This man was surprised and alarmed by what he found in his goldfish bowl, or if not, at least put on a convincing show of it. An explosion at the Baroona brewery ruptured the main tank and caused a flood of tasty ale that stretched from the Onetangi Straight to as far away as the retirement village.
Buses on the Rocky bay route were halted for some time by the sheer volume of suds covering the Rangihouia causeway. Luckily Chris Brady and friends came to the rescue, bearing a wide selection of glasses, jugs, buckets and even one plastic potty. The beer was quickly dealt with and the road re-opened, though traffic problems caused by inebriated ducks continued for some time. Local landowner Andrew Gerbil said “It was all the brewer’s fault.” Brewer Alan Knight said “Oh no it wasn’t.” Chris Brady said, “Who cares?”
