Thirsty Acres

23/09/2026

Last night, we welcomed Forbes from The Scotch Wh**ky Company to Thirsty Acres for a guided journey through Scotland’s wh**ky regions, discovering the stories, craftsmanship and distinctive flavours behind six exceptional single malts.

From the Highlands to Speyside, Campbeltown and Islay, there was plenty to savour, a few surprises along the way, and some great conversation around the table.
A huge thank you to Forbes for sharing his knowledge and passion, and to everyone who joined us for a dram (or six!). All of the whiskies we tasted are now available for purchase at the bar - why not head in this weekend for a dram!

Great wh**ky, great company, and another enjoyable night at Thirsty Acres. Keep an eye out for our next event..

Slàinte! 🥃

6pm this Sunday
One NZ Warriors

We’re not always a sports bar, but when there’s a big game on there is no better place to see it than right here on our big screens.

And games don’t come much bigger than an NRL Semi-Final for the Wahs.

Great food and ice cold b**r with a bit of league on the side. Book your spot for the game right here!

Need an excuse to go for a drive this week?
Have a look at how beautiful Darfield is in spring!😍 Great photo opportunities rain or shine, but be quick because the cherry blossoms don’t last forever…

While you’re there why not visit our good friends at Darfield Village Meats for NZs best sausages, and Johnny Fresh for the freshest produce in Selwyn.

Then stop in and see us Thirsty Acres for a great lunch or dinner, a hot coffee and the coldest b**r in Canterbury!

Make a visit to thirstyacres part of a great day out in the beautiful selwyn.nz district 📸🥰🍺
