Wanaka Beerfest x Swifty Beer

Back in December we sent a Little Irish Pub down to the Wanaka Beerfest where it was used to help launch a new beer from Carlos Bagrie & Nadia Lim’s (My Food Bag Founder and former MasterChef NZ Winner) Royalburn Station in collaboration with Wellington's Garage Project Breweries.

The beer, which is now in bars, restaurants and stores across Otago is called “Swifty”, named after the Swiftburn stream on Royalburn Station in Arrowtown. “Royalburn Station has been growing barley for more than 100 years – it was one of the first farms to supply the Speight’s beer factory,” Bagrie said. “We’re still producing 300 tonnes of premium quality barley each year so it made sense for us to develop our own beer brand, in collaboration with Garage Project.”

Made to be drunk on a summer’s day “It’s just a refreshing beer”.

And what a hit it is! Welcome to the world, Swifty! We are proud to have been a part of your launch!
