L IME LEAF, L IME & YOGURT MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

Inspired by tandoori chicken, this marinade borrows the yogurt but plays with a whole new set of Southeast Asian flavours. Don’t be put off by the chilies here—using two gives quite mild results with only a pleasing hint of the peppers’ fruitiness and heat. The finished chicken is great with a simple summery salad.

Big Taste from a Tiny Place.

There are two simple rules for crafting great beer like our new Kölsch Style Ale. Brew it small. And brew it big. Small as in small batches, so we can really take our time making sure everything is perfect. And big as in taste. Not watered down or middle-of-the-road flavour – we’re talking beer that’s hard to forget. Try one sip of our new Kölsch Style Ale and we think you’ll agree.

Kölsch Style Ale is available for a limited time as a standalone or as part of the Creemore Collection Pack alongside Premium Lager and Lot 9 Pilsner.
