There’ll also be plenty of Wellington classics from breweries such as Panhead, Remedy, Fork & Brewer and North End.
Needs More Brewery Launch
Our wholesale arm, Beer Without Borders have been very busy sourcing excellent new breweries to import.
We experienced Michigan’s Lakefront beer for the first time on Tuesday, and next Tuesday we can sample the offerings of Almanac Brewery from San Francisco.
Almanac’s offerings are a bit more out there, with Golden Gate Gose (a salty wheat beer), Single Source IPA (with hops sourced from a single hop garden) and Bourbon Sour Porter. These beers promise to be an exciting experience for even the most seasoned palate.

This Saturday from 10pm Nick Granville is back, delivering funky tunes with Lauren Ellis on Drums and Ali Isdale on Bass.
Unsurprisingly, entry to this funky gig is free. You should be spending your hard earned money on good beer anyway.

Get your X-ale tickets soon!
At the time of sending only one third of X-Ale tickets remain, almost guaranteeing a sell out. If you’re holding off buying your tickets for any reason, I recommend getting them asap, as it’s highly likely they’ll all be gone soon. Get them here!
If you need any more convincing, here are a couple more beers to look forward to:
- Mikkeller It’s Alive White Wine Barrel Aged with Mango
- Mikkeller/3 Floyds Boogoop
- Nøgne Ø Underlig Jul Spiced Ale
We’ve got a few locally brewed extreme ales lined up too, but still have to confirm they’ll be ready by X-Ale before we announce… Maybe next week...
