Beering up for winter: Wigram Brewing
Recent research into dark beers has shown that, like red wine, they can help prevent blood clots, because of flavonoids – the micronutrients that reduce cholesterol build-up in the arteries.
Dark beers are more complex than light beers as they have more ingredients (such as vitamin B9 enriched folic acid) hence their lingering aftertaste. Dark beers should be sipped and savoured.
Wigram Brewing Company, one of Ōtautahi’s first craft beer breweries, brings its winter beer selection of bespoke brews to Hangar 57.
The Bold Beers of Winter range includes four gold medal and trophy winners – Ace Smokey Porter, Munchner Dunkel, Czar Imperial Stout and Wee Reeky Scotch Ale.
These full-bodied brews are packed with intense malt-forward flavours that pair well with robust cheeses, cured meats, pickles, sourdough bread and chocolate – all in that order.
With a 20-tap selection of its multi award-winning range, the bar and fillery are a great destination to set your landing gear to. Wigram’s Dark Fest coming end of July, promises a feast of winter beers matched with local beer cuisine.
Enjoy life on the dark side with a brimming brew at Hangar 57, 57 Sonter Road, Wigram Christchurch. Call 03 343-4493
