A COLD beer after a long day on the water always seems to go down a treat.
Brass Belgian Pilsner is a new imported boutique beer that comes in unique PET bottles. Fully recyclable, these 330ml bottles have been treated with a “barrier” coating to preserve flavour.

Brass Pilsner is brewed in Limberg, Belgium, and retails for $49.95 for a case. Interestingly, a case of Brass beer weighs about eight kilos compared to 14 kilos for the glass-bottled alternative. I guess this means you’ll be able to carry twice as much …
