  • Head for the Hills - Hokonui Moonshine Museum
    Jul 14 2025
    Nestles in the heart of Southland you'll find Gore's Hokonui Moonshine Museum! New Zealand's dedicated museum to our illicit distilling history. Curator of the Hokonui Moonshine Museum, Jim Geddes, shared plenty of stories about cat-and-mouse games between moonshiners and the police, smuggling spirits in-and-out of the dry Southland area, and the role the museum plays in the community today. Firstly, apologies YouTube viewers. We tried troubleshooting for ages to get Jim's camera to work. So instead, enjoy these pictures from the museum, highlighting the issues we're talking about. If you love stories about New Zealand history, championing New Zealand spirits, and tales of illicit moonshiners, please like and subscribe to the Distil-Nation NZ Podcast. We also recommend visiting the Hokonui Moonshine Museum if you're traveling around Southland. #nzhistory #supportlocal #historypodcast

  • A Pint of Order - but where are the NZ Spirits?
    Jun 18 2025
    This week on Distil-Nation NZ, Tom and Cameron dive into a recent Stuff article spotlighting Parliament’s swanky new “Pint of Order” bar—and ask the obvious question: why are there zero New Zealand spirits on the shelf? Is it just an oversight, or a symptom of a bigger problem with supporting local producers in our own halls of power? We unpack the politics of pouring, the missed opportunities for Kiwi distillers, and what needs to change for New Zealand spirits to take their rightful place at the heart of our capital. Plus, we rant (just a little), share some industry gossip, and, as always, have a dram or two while we do it.
