The latest on the hand pull from Nelson. Moreish and drinks like a pale ale, but online search only turns up a song it was presumably named after, with lyrics slightly too interesting to repost here...
Sometimes you just want a cold beer on a hot day. Crisp, dry, with a little citrus but not too showy, something that will slake your thirst and loosen your uptight bits. We know that too, and our classic Munich style lager will scratch your itch most successfully.
Lustrous coppery amber in colour with a firm collar of creamy white head (on handpull, bless). Aromas dominated by pale malt, golden syrup, self-saucing pudding, rosehip and other deep, sweet floral characters. The flavour is brassy and typically of British bitter, a style I’m particularly prone to loving incidentally. Excellent length and bitterness but with definite malty sweetness. Long finishing. Essentially a perfect session pint.
Amiria Grenell grew up on a horsebreeding farm in Whitecliffs, Canterbury. Her parents, Deirdre and John Grenell ran the Whitecliffs Family Music Festivals for 14 years. With three older brothers all playing music, Amiria decided she could too, so at age 10 began playing the guitar and making up her own chords.
Featuring MC Jenna, Dr Sanchez, Jules and DJ Alby plus guests;
Dr Sanchez - Latin Guitar. 12 years national and international experience, over 200 shows per year. Spanish and Mediterranean beats and nylon string guitar..suits all occasions. Available as a solo, duo or trio. (conga and saxaphone optional).
Tuatara Ardennes is a strong, Belgian-style ale. There’s no missing the strong bit – 6.5% alc/vol should be fairly self-explanatory – but the Belgian half of the equation is the result of Carl’s obsession with the style. In creating his own version he’s named it after the Ardennes yeast that gives it all those spicy orange notes.
Consisting of Sam Hill (vocals, guitar) and Simon Tester (guitar, mandolin) 'Assembly Required' are a high energy highly entertaining duo who never fail to deliver crowd cheering, toe tapping, foot stomping performances. With a blend of everything from Folk/Blues to Rock/Reggae combined with plenty of on stage antics its no wonder many people describe 'Assembly Required' as one of the most entertaining acts around.
A smooth all-malt strong New Zealand Pilsner with an enticing hop aroma of tropical fruits, styled to compliment authentic Indian cuisine. The perfect accompaniment to curry.
