Other sub breeds of the pig brewed at the Mussel Inn over the years.
Captain
Cooker 'Original' Manuka Beer
The
manuka for the Captain Cooker ‘Original’
was picked during a recent trip to Fiordland, from the very site where
Cook picked his in 1773 - Pickersgill Harbour in Dusky
Sound - where you can still see the stumps of the trees he felled to
clear the headland to aid his cosmic observations. And I swear you could still
hear the laughter
of some very happy sailors echoing around the dusky bush clad sound.
March Hare - Hoppy manuka beer. Brewed especially for the inaugural MARCHFeST 29/3/08. A very hoppy bunny this one. 4%
Easter Bunny - Chocolate manuka beer - silky slinky, very sexy! For MARCHFeST '09.
General Swinelager - experimental manuka pilsner 6.5% - very nice it was too..
The Green Eyed Pig - brewed back in '97 using another local herb that also grows very well around these parts but which is best left un- identified! A one off wonder that some swear took them places where no beer had taken them before.
