HOPPING INTO 2010

Welcome to our first 2010 edition of the club bull roarer news. We hope you have recovered from the Christmas and New Year festivities and are ready to enjoy the rest of summer. Tennis, cricket, Australia Day – and the perfect accompaniment to any summer day is our new summer seasonal brew ROAD TRIP – an American IPA. Brewed with 3 varieties of hops from the Pacific Northwest of USA, this beer was inspired by the recent trip made by the Holgate family to this renowned beer region. This new brew will be released in kegs in the next few weeks – so come on down to the Brewhouse to enjoy this refreshing ale.
