For the Japanese Festival, Heyday has brewed Moon Assembly, a Miso Autumn Ale 5.5%
Moon Assembly Miso Autumn Ale glows with a dark red hue. The velvety-soft mouthfeel reveals layers of slightly sweet bread honey & a biscuit undertone, creating a rich & comforting taste. Subtle hints of umami add a unique depth, making each sip an inviting experience. Heyday Beer Co, a vibrant brewery and brewpub on Wellington's iconic Cuba St, keeps it fresh and creative with a rotating lineup of craft beers and dynamic art. The space bursts with colour, contrasted by the working brewery that runs the length of the venue, giving customers a true 'fresh is best' experience, straight from the brewery to bar. Available from September 14th on tap and in 440mL cans at Heyday Beer Co, 264 Cuba St, Te Aro, Wellington. Until stock lasts.
