Just to remind us how much things have changed since the dark ages of Nelson beer, we get this announcement from The Free House:

We are entering the New Year with a major milestone – the serving of our 300th different beer or cider available on tap since opening our church doors in April 2009

They are cracking a very special keg for the occasion, too – a new brew from Liberty Brewing in New Plymouth, called ‘Simcoe Blonde”. Look for it sometime over the next week.
