The Emerson's Pilsner is running out, and to carry us through to the return of our own pils we have a couple of kegs of Bohemian Pilsner from reknowned brewer Ben Middlemiss. Ben is brewing on Waiheke Island at Saratoga Estate winery, and this will be a rare opportunity to sample his wares south of the big city. A review of a recent SOBA visit to hius brewery rated this beer as "stunning".

The first keg will hit the taps tomorrow, Friday the 9th of July. Come and get it while it lasts...
Cheers,
Nige

Customers have certainly been able to pick out the rye flavour.
