COMING TO WATCH THE WAH'S ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH AT 4:05PM?

Well you'll be in for a treat, as Garage Project is providing us with some quality b**rs both new and old to accompany your One NZ Warriors finals experience.

The 'Fresh September' hazy ipa 7% (new b**r), the 'Pernicious W**d' IPA 8% (an old fave), and the 'Bent Penny' American pale 5% (new b**r), will all be flowing freely like Dalin Watene Zelezniak's mullet in the wind as he gallops to the try line.

WE GO AGAIN WAH'S FANS!

The glass half empty attitude is that week one of finals didn't go to plan.

The glass half full attitude is that we all get to hang out at The Catfish again this Sunday the 20th of September at 4:05pm when the mighty One NZ Warriors take on the Newcastle Knights.

In a pairing for the ages, Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks are slinging Philadelphia's finest alongside an expanded roster of Kiwi b**rs from Garage Project to watch the Kiwi rugba league.

These awesome (and in some cases brand new) brews are:
Fresh September - hazy ipa 7% (new b**r)
Pernicious w**d - IIPA 8%
Bent Penny - American pale 5% (new b**r)
