Tammy and Jaysen, with the help of the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise Market Development Grant are on route to the HOFEX trade show in Hong Kong to look for opportunities in Asian Markets.

Following the New Zealand Beer Festival in Wellington Becky from Juniper Restaurant & Bar contacted us and MATA is now the boutique beer of choice. The launch was awesome and MATA was a hit with all those that attended.

MATA has been accepted into the FOMANA, Tekau Plus, Exporting Excellence programme and as part of this was a main sponsor at the launch of the KOHA magazine.

More medals came our way at the second largest beer awards in the world. The MANUKA was awarded a Silver and the ARTESIAN a bronze. Following these awards we have also gained distribution into Melbourne, Australia. If you know of anyone there looking for great ales please let us know.

MATA sponsored the opening of this LOOP event and hopes to work with LOOP more in the future. Check out the website, they have some really great music.

Both Tammy and Jaysen travelled to Taranaki to promote MATA to the West Coast. If you have not been there yet, it is a must do, the people are great. Make sure you visit Table Restaurant and Montrose Wine Bar.

The Beer festival of the year rocked both Auckland and Wellington this year.

We only had a limited supply of Feijoa and it sold out on both occassions.

The festive season this year saw a number of great festivals, our highlights being:

Big Boys Toys
MAI Farm Sustainable Trust
Blue Brews and Barbeque's
Organic River Festival

October 2008 has seen the launch of the new MATA Beer, MATA Feijoa.

October also saw MATA in attendance at the Taupo Eco-Show. It was definitely one not to miss.
