Once upon a neon-lit time on Queen St. Auckland, there stood a vintage legend – Big Tex, the iconic sign that crowned the Keans Jeans building. Picture it: a beacon of retro coolness, a neon symphony illuminating the city nights.
Fast forward to our Taproom, where we decided to immortalize Big Tex on a can of beer. Why? Because if you've got Tex on the can, the beer inside better match the hype.
Cue our hop saga with Columbus, Simcoe, and Mosaic – a trio that's practically a hophead's dream team. The brew echoes Tex's swagger, balancing dank-pine vibes with a tropical fruit extravaganza. It's got a malt groove that hits the sweet spot without overdoing it, and a bold, bitter finish that leaves you thirsty for more.
So, here's to Big Tex, once perched high above Queen St., now gracing our cans and elevating your beer experience. A toast to neon nostalgia and the brews that make legends proud!
