Manuka Ales - don’t lose another piece of Kiwiana

MEDIA RELEASE: NZ, don’t lose another piece of Kiwiana to your Aussie cousins.

Support these (iconic) uniquely Kiwi Manuka Ales so they can go to market, or else we risk the neighbours over the ditch taking this one as well.

You know what to do, get behind us with our collective kiwi scrum and push as hard as to get us over the line today, so Manuka Ales stay kiwi as.

New Zealand brewer Tony Dapson, invented a process for brewing ale using Manuka, and is looking for backers to support the brewing of this unique Kiwi ale by purchasing ‘Future Vouchers’ .

The ‘Help Make Kiwi Ale History’ campaign is live on Indiegogo.com (see link below) and slowly reaching its target as Mr Dapson hopes to raise enough money for the first round of orders of Manuka Magic – It's a Beauty Unique Kiwi Ale to be fulfilled.

The first batch of Ales will be brewed in New Zealand at Hawke’s Bay’s local micro-brewery, Roosters Brew House, who are well known for their natural, no added sugar or preservative beers and are one of the stops on the Bay and Country Pub Tours.

There is demand across the globe for New Zealand beer, and what makes one aspect of tthis brew unique is, rather than brewing with traditional hops his natural ale’s use the Manuka plant.

This is a never been seen before innovation. Mr Dapson was awarded Letters Patent in New Zealand and Australia for his invention. It is an historical development in beer brewing history, and could be the answer to gradual loss of beer production.

Mr Dapson is looking for 600 keen beer fans, over 20 years of age, to get Manuka Magic flowing out the brewery door. The crowd source campaign aims to raise demand through exclusive ‘Future Orders Vouchers’ that will be redeemed at the successful completion of the campaign.

It's delicious to drink. It's Kiwi as. And yes, it’s another groundbreaking Kiwi innovation.
