Share that 1/2 Gallon

Avid readers of this blog (yes I appreciate their are none...) will recall that when I visited the Tuatara brewery I picked up a 1/2 gallon flagon of Aotearoa Pale Ale. The instructions on the side of the bottle were pretty strict about making sure you drink the whole thing within 24 hours of opening it. I am getting old so no longer see this as a challenge to be taken by myself. Instead it is an opportunity to share a tasty brew with friends. Much more civilised. The hosting of a game night was a perfect opportunity. Ian and Nick were more than willing helpers in the game of emptying the flagon. In fact, the flagon wasn't enough so I also got the opportunity to share some of my English Pale Ale with them too. And they came back for more. That's the beauty about homebrew though. There always seems to be an endless supply of beer to drink.
