A New Zealand brewery is reportedly offering a lifetime supply of beer for the return of a stolen laptop. Local media said the laptop was stolen from the Croucher Brewing Company in the central North Island city of Rotorua earlier this week.
Owners were desperate to retrieve the computer containing designs, contact details and financial information, the Rotorua Daily Post said.
They have offered free beer to anyone giving clues leading to its recovery.
Co-owner Paul Croucher said the company would provide a lifetime supply of about 12 bottles a month to anyone who could name the thief.
The company has back-up copies of the material stored on the laptop but these are not up to date, the newspaper said.

Gee wizz Bod, you're on the ball mate! They were interviewed on our TV only last night!
It is a boutique brewery, brewing around 600 litres a week. They will supply a carton of a dozen bottles (about 350ml size) a month for life, if say a 20yr old claimed it, over say 60 years he would receive some $25,000 of beer (our $ is worth about 36 pence GB)
Rotorua is our nearest city, 80km (50 miles) north of Taupo.

Hope you're out looking for the laptop! And the BBC must take the credit for the story not me.
