Holgate XPA


May has given a reason to love sci fi and beer even more,

Since may the fourth has officially become 'Star Wars Day' it is a good reason to get the movies out and watch the trilogies all over again.







Now that most of us are adults we can now also enjoy the movies we loved as kids with some Star Wars themed beers, in recent years these are starting to multiply.

A new favourite of mine is from Holgate, X-Wing XPA from Victoria.

This is the kind of beer you want to crack open just after you have shot a couple of proton torpedoes into the Death Star and made it back, made with four hop varieties (not including galaxy) it has a fruity aroma which matches the taste.

A good name for a good beer!

I mention galaxy hops because many Star Wars themed beers are being made with them - I wonder if they come from a galaxy far far away?

Being a craft beer it isn't going to be found everywhere and is likely a limited release.

Holgate have even gone one better and made a stronger version called the Millennium Falcon, this beer would do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs as it packs a huge punch. It cost $22 for one stubbie!

Get one of these if you can and sit back on the couch with some of the best movies ever made playing at high volume.

Cheers,

Dave


May the Fourth be with you!
