Move over strawberry blonde, the women of Emerson’s have gone Cherry Blonde for International Women’s Day. It has nothing to do with hair, and everything to do with beer.

Apples have a symbolic status in many legends, folklores,and traditions. They can represent love, beauty, wisdom, immortality, andtemptation— to name but a few.

Hmmm, maybe they wereright about the temptation thing.

The MacKaiser is a bold, single hop pilsner brewedpurely with Wai-iti hops and the autocraticintensity of its namesake. Just as The Countryradio show host Jamie Mackay rules hisunderlings with an iron fist, this brew launchesan assault on the palate and leaves thecompetition for dead. So snap to attentionand prepare for a tyranny of taste.

This is the OG Phantom Lord that inspired the whole range.Proof that you can be dark without being brooding. Sure, it’s demonicallyblack, roasty and toasty, but it’s also full of the joys of life, thanks to an abominationof hops. We’ve kettle hopped, whirlpool hopped, and added a big dose of dryhop. It’s stout meets APA. Praise the Phantom Lord.
