Steve's call but hopefully he'll have some trial bottles in the next day or two.
Other than that, it is look promising for a tap in Hamilton. Keep an eye on www.yeastieboys.co.nz
Yeastie Boys is on at Regional Wines and Spirits now (and still guest at D4, of course). My bro picked up the first rigger, which was great (does that mean I no longer have to take him homebrew when I pop around for a visit?). He also hassled another customer into buying a rigger, so I guess I owe him...
Invercargill Biman has arrived too, so will be on now or very soon. First time on tap in Wellington???
Not only did my bro get the first rigger, he sent me a recipe....
Venison sausages, with garlic mash, caramalised onion and peas – served with a Yeastie Boys, Pot Kettle Black (PKB) and balsamic sauce.
Get very good quality venison sausages.
Don’t over cook the venison sausages, potatoes boil with 3 or 4 garlic cloves, mash with an egg, some butter and dash of milk.
Caramalise the onions with some olive oil and brown sugar – cook them over a low heat until nicely browned and sweet.
After the sausages are cooked place in oven to keep warm, deglaze the pan with PKB and balsamic, add some brown sugar and reduce.
Serve with peas and a glass of Yeastie Boys, Pot Kettle Black – delicious!
He got it all right until I spotted that the sausage was in focus and not the beer, so I emailed him back to take another one. He had to eat a cold dinner and drink a warm beer because of that mistake! Lucky in one respect ;-)
