Pale ale with epic flavours

Epic Brewing is owned by Luke Nicholas, who was the brewer at Steam Brewing that supplied the Cock and Bull pubs in Auckland. He has been an active member of the New Zealand brewing industry for over a decade.

He set up the brewers' newsletter, sparging, which led to Realbeer. co.nz. He developed the award-winning Monks Habit, which is packed with hops and has been winning awards for many a year. He also created Epic pale ale for Steam Brewing Co.

He liked the beer so much he bought the company. He wants to take the beer to the world. At the moment it is only available at The Beer Emporium in Merivale, but watch for it in the near future in your local good liquor outlet.

Epic Pale Ale has also done well at recent beer awards and I think it is set to become a bit of an iconic New Zealand beer.

Full Story

[Knowing Carl Hadler's style of writing I think Epic Pale Ale got off pretty light, and pretty positive. At least he didn't have a cold sore, which he describes vividly in half the article, and then gets his friend to write the review cause he can't taste the beer.]
