Brewers Q & A: Mike Neilson, Panhead Custom Ales

This week, brewer Mike Neilson from Panhead Custom Ales shares his favourite summer brews

What are you most looking forward to about summer? 

Lazy days with the family by the pool, brisket and ribs in the smoker and a couple of beers.

What style/styles do you see yourself drinking a lot of this summer? 

Typically lighter styles, like Quickchange XPA, Port Road Pils and our gose, Culture Vulture, which we will be relaunching.

It’s the hottest day of the year and you’ve just mown the lawns. What beer would you most hope to find in your fridge?

A New Zealand pilsner. I’m fascinated with them. I usually drink our own Port Road Pils but any will do after mowing our lawns.
