TOM LEE/STUFF Hobbiton Movie Set deputy CEO Shayne Forrest is thrilled 1 million litres of ale have flowed through The Shire’s pipes. Since Hobbiton opened nine years ago, The Green Dragon Inn has welcomed many thirsty guests through its wooden doors. Now the new brew will give them another reason to drop in, although it will also be available by the pint or in bottles from Good George across the North Island, from Thursday, May 13. Good George Brewing co-founder Jason Macklow said Hobbiton’s decision nine years ago to support local and work with Good George, just 40km down the road, to create and supply the Southfarthing range, means guests can have handcrafted beer and cider right from the Waikato.
