In those magical days between Christmas and New Year's, there’s every chance you had some questions in the back of your mind. What day is it? Is it acceptable to spend the afternoon drinking delicious beer and watching cricket? What do I do for work again? Is there a way I can possibly quit my job and never work another day in my life?
Friday Is The New Friday is a beer designed to answer each of those questions, with the Cali Pils by Bodriggy Brewing built for summer and for when you want something clean and refreshing that still keeps you satisfied. As the name suggests, this hopped-up lager uses a straightforward pilsner malt base and some Saaz to keep things simple, and then turns everything decidedly more modern thanks to Mosaic, Citra, Motueka Amplifier and Riwaka SubZero Hop Kief.
The result is a beer where the aroma leans a little towards traditional West Coast territory thanks to grapefruit and pine, but where each sip brings passionfruit and mango with a sweet citrus more in line with mandarin. But in true lager fashion, none of those flavours stick around too long while a bitter kick only adds to the refreshment and reminds you that any day can be a Friday. Even Friday...
