Dutch & Canadian Variants on Keg!

A couple of specials on keg for our first week of Year 3:

Gaia

INDIA PALE ALE 7%

A West Coast IPA as mother nature intended, with more hops than you could shake a tree at. She’s glowing with aromas of grapefruit, passion fruit, cannabis and pine. Five US varieties bringing big citrus fruit flavours to the party, with heaps of malts giving you a caramel kiss at the end.

Brace yourself for the bitterness, but keep digging for the sweet stuff. Just like all plants, hops fade fast, so drink Gaia fresh to catch her in full bloom.

Gold medal, category IPA at the Dutch Beer Challenge 2018

STRANGER THAN FICTION

PORTER 5.5%

Stranger Than Fiction is a full-bodied porter with plenty of roast flavour with hints of molasses. Ridiculous amounts of chocolate and pale ale malts make this porter a smooth and creamy brew.

Hops: Cascade, Nugget

Malt: 2 Row, Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Crystal, Biscuit, Flaked Wheat, Crystal, Carafoam
