Introducing Black Bruges, a captivating dark lager from the renowned Sprig and Fern Brewery. This unique brew pays homage to our national rugby team, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors. Despite its deep, ruby-hued appearance, Black Bruges is a light to medium-bodied beer, similar in character to a pale ale or Tasman lager. Brewed in the traditional schwarzbier style, this Belgian-inspired offering boasts a distinctive profile, with notes of cloves and spice that dance across the palate. Awarded a bronze medal at the 2011 Brewnz Beer Awards in Wellington, where the theme was "Let's go black," Black Bruges is a testament to the brewery's innovative approach and commitment to crafting exceptional beers. Enjoy the easy-drinking experience of this unique dark lager, a perfect companion for any occasion.
