    When I saw the name of this drink, Dark Helmut, I immediately thought of Tim. It is described as an Imperious Schwartzbier by Beau's All Natural Brewing Company of Vankleek Hill, Ontario. The significance of the name becomes clear when you see the full label.

    Wigram was an RNZAF base near Christchurch (NZ), now home to Wigram Brewing.

    I'm sure some may disagree with the order of the chap's ribbons [probably based on Al Deere], but it was just the ticket with a winter's pie.

    Beer and Pie July! A good question Karl, a local [pirate] radio station started a bit of a tradition around these parts -

    https://www.hauraki.co.nz/video/haur...beer-pie-july/


    and this year's matchings so far:
    https://www.hauraki.co.nz/gigs-event...-july-is-here/

    Needless to say, July is (supposed to be) winter in this part of the southern hemisphere, so cold beer and hot pie's a great combination!

    Cheers to all!

    Since Captain Moonbeam has not continued to bring us some New Zealand beers, thought that I would do so, but of course I do not have his advantage of being able to taste them. Also from the Baylands Brewery comes Hop to Hyperdrive, a pale ale.

    Just the ticket to round off a good day of flying. When you're here we'll have to drop into Baylands and see what else they have in their hangers.

    Our cousins over the ditch will enjoy the Defender, it's an Aussie pale ale; but I have my eyes on this one for a match to SWMBO's famous Friday night fryup.

    This honours Raymond Collishaw, a RNAS pilot from Nanaimo, BC (an hour south of me). The label is my hash of the Ace Brewery's tap product. They don't yet put it in cans, but they do sell it in large bottles.

    From their website:
    Black Maria Nitro Stout
    Big mouth feel, balanced by dark malt bitterness. Notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and lightly toasted bread
