Not only are they experimenters,
Garage Project are also collaborators so as well as having beers for a purpose they also like working with others to create their beverages. One such collaboration is the long distance partnership with the Norwegian brewer
Nøgne Ø to produce
Summer/Sommer, a summery themed rye Ale. The idea behind the beer is something I can totally buy into. In the Northern hemisphere it is common to have special brews just for
Christmas. They are generally darker and designed to keep you warm in the snowy weather.
NZ Christmas isn't really anything like that so why not try to capture the best of both?
Summer/Sommer does just that with the sweet taste of honey and rye. This is all topped off with spices, just like a Christmas Ale. It is very summery although it is one to enjoy quietly and slowly on a summer's day as you might end up asleep in the sun after drinking too many of these 7.7%ers.
