Ah Yes, the holy swappa crate!
Or 'Puinamu' which translates to 'wooden crate with beer'.
Where is the cheapest place to go for a crate of beer these days?
I'm after speights. Only found the one place behind tactics in highland park that does them - anywhere else?

Trainer wheels optional
swap a crate, an ancient drinking ritual, still practised where?
I'd have to admit the last time I saw a pint bottle of speight's was in balclutha in 1988, the original speights brew.

Still practised wherever students need either furniture or beer, or where home brewers need quart bottles for their brew, or people like recycling, or where 330ml just isn't enough!That’s right, let’s bring back the swappa-crate. Now, I know what you’re going to say. The swappa-crate didn’t go anywhere. They’re available at every bottlestore in the country. Well to that I would say “when was the last time you bought one, hmm?” (If you are a student, well, sorry you don’t count. Everyone expects you to live on crates. In fact half your flat furniture is probably built from them - you’re not who I’m talking about, okay?)
Once upon a time in this country you couldn’t go to a BBQ without there being an abundance of crates. Somehow in the last 30 years or so we bought into the idea that single-use bottles or “stubbies” were cooler.

When I'm buying beer I often buy swappers, at the moment I've got 7 crates full of home-brew waiting to mature.
If anyone around Wellington wants to get rid of their empty swapper crates, I'll take em.

I had a mate that had a couch made out of Swappa Crates and empty Pizza Boxes.

Blood - just give it!
Most bottlers in Papakura do swappers, and I'm sure a few do Speights!
That's it, I am making it my mission to go up the road this weekend, and see if I can make my heavily dust laden crate mystically fill itself with full bottles of Speights...
Oh, and for the beer afficianadoes?
I have another crate of 12 long neck beer bottles.
Perfect for that retro beer look the home brew crowd are into (probably).
