FULL SHOW: The Beervana Files

0:00The Hauraki Big Show. Thanks to crave-worthy street food. Freshly made with Reburger. Don't fight it. It's time to go up a size. This is the biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest, this is the biggest, our biggest show. The Hauraki Big Show. With Jason Hoyte, Mike Minogue and Keyzie. Angie here filling in for the Hauraki Big Show fellas who are currently... At Bearvana 2026, it's Jase, Mike and Keezy from the Hauraki Big Show.

0:35Keyzie:Oh, g'day, you mad bastards. It's the fellas live from Bearvana. And as you can probably hear in the background there, she is absolutely pumping here. Mogi, it's going off. Mate, can I say it's like being in a madhouse. I feel like my brain's going to explode. I've got 800 different types of music, and they're all coming at me at once. Yes. But I don't know if I'm going to make it out of here alive. Yeah, well, it's definitely got that vibe about it, actually, Mogey. But as always, it's a great setup. As you'd imagine, being a beer festival, there's a lot of beer stalls. There's some food stalls.

1:14Keyzie:I did notice an oyster stall, which I'll be hitting very, very shortly. I can assure you of that. Yeah, it's a pretty magnificent joint, and it just seems to get bigger and bigger every single year. We see things each year that we haven't seen the year before, but I tell you what, there's plenty of, as you say, Jason, backbones and brews. Yeah, mate. Well, I tell you why, is this your first time at Bear Vana Puds, by the way? It's not. Oh, g'day, fellas. It's certainly not my first time here. I think a couple of years ago I was here with you guys. Obviously, Keezy not here. It was a great warm-up last night at Bethel Woods to Itata.

1:49It was. So it's the oldest round for that one. And it was a ripper, wasn't it? It was a great little warm-up. Shout-out to them for having us. Fantastic. It was really good. I had a few beers. I've got a slight hangover today. Not too bad. More a lack of sleep. But we've probably got about eight beers, I reckon, last night.

2:08Keyzie:And that'll do you. Eight beers and an hour here either and a shot. Yeah, well, I could tell by the end of the show yesterday, actually, that people were in a very, very good mood. so I scarped it pretty quickly. And it's not that I'm an anti-social person, it's just I can't be arsed with that sort of carry-on at my age. No, absolutely. Fair enough, mate, fair enough. You can check out all the carnage over on the Hauraki Big Show socials. Follow them on Instagram and, of course, beavana.co.nz if you want to get yourself some tickets for the weekend. Now we're heading to year number 410 on our greatest of all time countdown, a song about key parties.

2:45Although lead singer of Incubus, Brandon Boyd, does say that he is infamous for never going out. I have to say, if I went out after one of our shows, that is a small miracle in and of itself because I'm infamous in our band camp for almost never, ever, ever going out, ever. Here's Incubus. Are you in on Hauraki? The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. How the hay is that song, 51? Bruce Springsteen on Hauraki, Born to Run, your number 409 on our greatest of all time countdown, although it's had a fall. He's of that age. He's had a fall 208 places he's gone down from last year, but I mean, he's used to, you know, not doing so well.

3:30His first two albums he released, they were absolute commercial flops, and he came back in 75 with that album right there, Born to Run. Boom, total success, and he's never looked back, let's be honest. Angie here filling in for the Hauraki Big Show fellas. that have been hanging out in Henry Stadium for Beavana, I'll be playing back some of those escapades after these messages. I am going to be giving away, of course,$100. Listen out for your cue to call during the GOAT countdown for an instant$100. Put 0800 Hauraki into your speed dial, mate. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

4:09Hauraki. I feel like the Black Crows aren't old enough to have had a fall, but they are. They're down the full in 231 places that tune from last year. Black Crowes, she talks to Angels 407 on our greatest of all time countdown. Angie here filling in for the Horaki Big Show fellas. Keezy Minogue and Jase have been larkin' about at Henry Stadium for Bear Vana in Wellington.

4:30Keyzie:Yeah, welcome back you massive backbones. It's the fellas at Bear Vana and as you can hear in the background there she is pumping. Hey, by the way, if you are in Wellington. Come on down to the little Hauraki section. We've got a silent throbber happening there Mogi. We have mate, we were straight in there weren't we? You're having a little boogie there, cutting some shapes. Oh mate, you were on fire. I found your dance actually quite erotic if I'm being honest. Well, I'm a sexual man. Yes. Certainly it's always there just bubbling away and I think you felt the full wrath didn't you? Yeah, well I'll be honest with you in my heyday that would have drawn me to you like a moth to a flame.

5:11Keyzie:Those were the... Go and check out the Instagram if you're wondering what I'm talking about. They were the sort of moves, yeah, I mean, it just oozed virility. Absolutely. It oozed sexuality. I think I'll put it to you this way, Jase. Those are the kinds of moves that make it very clear to any potential mate that I'm a magnificent lover. Yes. And you just mean your mate, Jase, eh? I've got a little story to tell, actually, from Bear Varner. Oh, yes. We had a lovely lady come up to us and say, oh, can I give you guys a hug because I'm a huge fan? She gave me a big hug. Oh, she was over the moon and then she hugged you, Jase.

5:51Keyzie:She hugged me. And she said into my ear, I had a naughty dream about you. So, you know, I mean, look. I mean, if people want to have erotic dreams about me, who am I to stop them? Can't be helped. Can't be helped. No. Going on today and tomorrow, if you're around Wellington, beavana.co.nz. Go get your tickets, mate. Now we're going to go to your number 406 on the GOAT Countdown this year from an album that just turned 30 years old. And actually Fiona Apple is back making new music for 2026. But you voted this in at 406. It's Criminal on Hauraki. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

6:34From 91's Woodface, it's Crowded House Weather with you on the GOAT Countdown, your number 405. And, of course, the Hauraki Big Show fellas have been larkin' about in Wellington. Beavana, Henry Stadium, no less.

6:45Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Welcome back, you massive backbones. It's the fellas live from Beavana. And what I can tell you is they've officially opened the gates for this session, and people are absolutely flooding in. Yes. It's like a parade, isn't it? Now, we're in it. Everybody's walking past. We're sort of like a little sideshow here. People are sort of wandering past. They're staring at us, trying to approach on occasion, taking photos from afar, Chase. Yes, they should. I'll tell you what, there's some real lids here, some real heads. What does that mean, by the way? Well, it kind of means that a lot of these people haven't seen the sun for a long time.

7:25I completely disagree with both of you. I think everybody at Bear Banner is beautiful. Yeah, but you've been on the ecstasy, Pete. You've been on the ecstasy tablet. So you're absolutely on here at the moment. You're out of control, Pucks. It is on for young and old. You bet, Dabley, with the Dirtleys. Oh, my goodness. It is on for young and old, and everybody here has one love, and that is beer and local breweries. There's a hell of a lot going on. There's a lot of lights and stuff, don't you? Yeah, good on you, mate. Absolute legend in a fedora there. Is that what you're supposed to do? That's what I'm talking about.

7:58Keyzie:What a legend. When we come back, we've got to address an issue that's happened from last night's show. So an absolute shocker. And also, if you want to get amongst Beervana, maybe get your tickets for this time if there's any bloody left. Yeah. Or even in future, beervana.co.nz. They're hosting us here. Look, I'll be playing back some more of the escapades at Beervana after 5 o 'clock. The GOAT will be continuing after 5 as well. And what I realised I have not done yet is give away the$100. The Hauraki Beat Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Tell you what, looking back at that music video clip, it's nuts because I reckon the average age is about 18 for the dudes in Supergroup.

8:40That's crazy to think. You've got to know on Hauraki, you're number 401 on our greatest of all time countdown, which is back again from Monday at 8am. But of course, I did give away some cash. The Radio Hauraki Goat Countdown. Music snobbery with financial benefits. Now, Shannon, Auckland, you've got plans this weekend yet? We're going to go right up like Sound on Riverhead Forest. I think that's going to be pretty exciting. Oh, choice. Mate, you called up at just the right time. $100. All yours. Thank you so much. The goat, as I said, returning Monday, 8 a.m. more chances to win cash. Coming up here not too far off, catching up with what the Hauraki Big Show fellas have been up to at Beavana.

9:22Here's Queen's. Hauraki. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki. At Beervana 2026, it's Jase, Mike and Keezy from the Hauraki Big Show.

9:40Keyzie:Yeah, welcome back, you massive backbones. It's the fellas live from Beervana. We've had a bit of a tour around, haven't we, fellas? Bloody, as you'd imagine, at a beer festival, there's a lot of beer stools. One of the stools is Panhead. and we've got Kyle from Panhead to have a bit of a chitty chat with us. How are you going, Kyle? How's life? Oh, not too bad, mate. It's a crush back at Monster in preparation for today because you've got to think about how you want to show up as well. So months of planning, you've got agencies behind designing the stand, you've got to decide what beer to bring, you've got to decide how you want to requisite yourself.

10:21So months of planning. The set-up is actually pretty quick. It's a few-day set-up. But, yeah, I think the thought that goes into it is massive.

10:28Keyzie:I was going to say, Kyle, obviously there's a lot of beer stools here. One of the big challenges for you guys is differentiating yourself. You know what I mean? Giving something unique to the punters. Yeah, it is a challenge. You've got so many cool stands here, so many cool beers, cool brands. Like, how do you differentiate yourself? Like, you've just got to, like, show up authentically to your brand. Yes. If you don't do that, then you kind of do blend in a bit. So, yeah, that's why I say it takes months to plan it. Have you thought of doing it nude? It's actually a great shout, Jase. Al natural.

11:02Keyzie:Yeah. Absolutely. And obviously this is good for business to get your name out there. Specifically at this festival, I mean, how do you guys go? Is it a boon for you? It's really cool to be here. Like, last year we weren't here, which was a bit of a shame. We had people asking about us. Yes. Like, people love coming to the Panhead Stamps and, you know, seeing the Supercharger on tap, seeing our beer, seeing our brand. And so for us, it's like being part of the community. Not necessarily to get the name out there, because a lot of people know Panhead, but just get to show up for your local fans.

11:34Yes. And, Cole, have you had a wander around yourself? Have you noticed anything that you, I mean, obviously you're back in Panhead till the day you die, but is there anything else around here that's caught your eye? Honestly, I think the Dunkin' stand looks pretty cool with their interesting style. Their blowout things look pretty bloody cool. Searchlight is a little brewery from Queenstown They've shown up, they've poured in some fucking Really tasty beers, Urban Old as well Like I think they're a pretty cool stand, good style And really cool people as well

12:02Keyzie:I mean you say that, I mean secretly you really hate them though Don't you? Friendly competition mate Hey well Kyle mate, thanks so much For joining us and all the best for this Next couple of days If you're at Bearvana Go and see the fellas over at Panier Dry beers, cheers guys Cheers, guys.

The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki. Monkeys, I bet you look good on the dance floor on Hauraki. Angie here, filling in for the Hauraki Big Show. They're down at Bear Vines. Well, they have been. The next session of Beervana is going off from 6pm till 11 o 'clock tonight. Tickets from beervana.co.nz. Now, if you're looking at some of the acts playing, you've got the Wellington Sea Shanty Society.

15:23The dance floor is going to be swinging. Warwick and the Wankers, although it's a one-man band, so I'm not quite sure there's Warwick. I don't know who the Wankers are. Is that us? The Hauraki Big Show fellas prepared this earlier.

15:36Keyzie:Yeah, welcome back, you massive backbones. It's the fellas live from Beervana now. It is going on. Oh, please. Absolutely. It is. They've got a bit of a mist sort of. They hear. They hear. It's very kind of. I thought it was somebody vaping. But it is. There is a. No, I think I've done it. He's doing that sort of thing. Yeah. He's not supposed to in here, but he was anyway. Now, listen. Last night's show, there was a bit of controversy. Oh, my God. It's fair to say that Heasy was in still, I think, birthday celebration mode. Yeah. He had a few beersies. He had. And when you're doing a live show like that, the adrenaline tends to pump out of you.

16:15Keyzie:But I feel like last night, Maggie, I don't know your view on it, that old Keezy overstepped the mark. Look, he, yeah, for no apparent reason really, just completely out of the blue, started verbally abusing the audience. If I can remember correctly, he said they could get F'd. Yeah, he said go F yourself. Go F yourself. He apologised in advance, which really didn't soften the blow. I'll say that much. No. So, you know, I don't really know what's going on with Kesey. I've been worried about him for a while. I don't know what's happening in his marriage. But certainly there's no place to air that kind of an attitude.

16:56I am absolutely shocked, in all honesty. I thought one of us might inadvertently drop one at some point. But I don't think Kesey has brought this through because there's going to be a conversation with the brass come Monday. Yeah. 100%. Look, can I just say...

17:10Keyzie:This is not a slip of the tongue. No, it is. I think you mentioned something very important there, Mogi. His marriage. Thank you. And I don't know about you guys, but this weekend for his marriage feels like make or break for eight. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And maybe, you know, he can be excused. He's feeling the pressure of that. Well, you know when you go away on a romantic weekend, Jase, there's a pressure to perform. Yeah, totally. I worry about Keezy's ability in that area at the best of times. Yeah, he's not good under pressure. He's not good under pressure. Sorry, you guys don't think any of this has anything to do with the T-shirt that he got given that had your face on it, Jason, and everybody was trying to get him to take it off?

17:54Well, the thing about it is, he Donald ducks around the face, doesn't he? Keezy's a never nude. So when he wanders around at home, he walks around with a T-shirt on.

18:04Keyzie:Yes, so he can hide his upstairs and his downstairs as well. Well, there's not much to hide, to be fair. I feel like the wheels are starting to fall off. The next session, as I said, 6pm tonight and then back again tomorrow from 11 at Henry Stadium in Wellington. Going to squeeze in some pixies for you soon. Here's Temple of the Dog. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki at Beavana 2026. It's Jase, Mike and Keezy from the Hauraki Big Show. Yes, indeed. Welcome back, you massive backbones. Well, we've just done another lap, fellas. And I can say at the moment I've got six very, very plump, juicy oysters sitting right at the pit of my stomach at the moment.

18:56Keyzie:They look very juicy, the oysters. How did you rate them? Oh, look, they were impressive, actually. Because often you get the sort of Pacific oyster, which is very shallow mode. Yes. Very stringy often. These were plump. They were full. Just a squirt of lemon juice there and a little vinaigrette. Vinaigrette, yes. It was the bomb. What did you guys eat? I've only ever had one oyster in my life. I went to Tuatara, our mates that brought us down to Bethel Woods last night, and I got an espresso stoutini. Oh, how good. A nitro espresso stoutini. I didn't realize it was 8.2%. set, but it's delicious, so I'm sitting on it comfortably.

19:34It's a great setter. I think it's the best one yet. It is the best weather. It is certainly not as cold, and the people are right into it. It's full, and it's not messy. Yes. You know, sometimes people, as you say, pugs here, they can be a little bit irresponsible, dare I say. Yeah. But it's a fine mood around here, some great people watching. Yes. Absolutely rammed. There's people everywhere. People are playing cornhole. There's all sorts of lights. There's little gnome bands of people that look like... There's literally, yeah, little gnomes, yeah. Yeah, little gnomes everywhere. And the thing about the concourse is that it kind of just keeps going.
