Golden Whistler Lager 16-Case
The Golden Whistler lager is a classic small-batch European super crisp lager with a fresh, grassy hop palate, making it great for sundowners over the lagoon and is sure to get the locals singing along! Enjoy our unique Lord Howe hibiscus with every taste.
In the days of flying boats, Islanders adorned their departing guests with leis of hibiscus which they wore around their necks. Once aboard the flying boat, the guest would throw their lei into the water. It is said that if the lei washed up on the shore, it meant they would return to the Island in the future. We include Lord Howe Island hibiscus in every beer we produce, with the hope you return to the Island or our beer someday in the future.
