News & New Brews

Redoak's Mild tap was replaced today with their Honey Ale (see Latest Showcase Tap list). The Mild was probably the slowest keg to move since we opened. It's not a bad drop but I reckon the fact that's it called 'Mild' has something to do with it. It's not particularly masculine is it?! Holgate's Big Red has temporarily replaced Rooftop Red as we had some of the keg left over after the Holgate Beer Dinner.

I'm thinking I'll change a round a couple of the regular taps, given the cooler seasons and all. Leffe Brune will replace Leffe Blonde and Hargreaves Hill ESB will replace Baron's Lemon Myrtle Wit. There's a couple of others I may change too. Watch this space.

Coming up on the Showcase Taps are Holgate's Dunkel Weizen, Otway Ale, Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse (we have one keg left), Bright Brewery's Staircase Porter, Feral Rust Belgian Strong Ale,
Feral Belgium Wit and The Little Brewing Co.'s Wicked Elf Pilsner.

I had a good meeting today re the beer club. We think we may finally have a name which is good. We'll have a trial club meeting before SpecTAPular then launch it proper in July. Club meetings promise to be a great social outing if the plan works!

Finally, Matilda Bay have come aboard as the sponsor of our live music nights. We have some promotional stuff planned but it will be called Matilda Bay's 'Live @ The Local'. Rock on!

Just over 3 weeks till SpecTAPular..
