The pub has reported back that they’ve sold the last of the Christmas Ale. At the moment there are no plans to brew an ‘09 batch as we have some other projects underway, but one or two cartons may have been squirreled away by the brewers for cellaring.
Christmas in July 2010 might be a good place to bring them out and try them. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: A few bottles have been spotted in the cooler at Essendon Cellars (corner of Albion and Primrose Streets)
