There are no Australian beers in the current Wetherspoon's Beer
Festival. But the nooklet that accompanies it features at least two
Aussie flags. It's obvious that someone mixed up Oz & New Zealand
flags at some point. And I don't think Tim Martin would like that.

I need to see what goes-on in a nooklet. I'd like to photograph it but
would I be allowed to remove the flags, beforehand?

Must be true.

Here's a pic of Nookey Broon on draft (not draught) at the Green Parrot
bar in Key West Florida.

longer be brewed.
