Time for a brew We acquired a licence to import beer last year (my post at the time is here), and the main reason for this was so that we could work with new-and-exciting, green tea and yuzu fruit-spiked iki Beer. Them's yuzus there on the left, and the picture links to the very attractive Japanese photo-blog it came from by way of acknowledgement.

This afternoon, in the latest instalment, we had the pleasure of a visit from Arjen Hemelaar and Diederik van den Biggelaar of iki Beer here at the ol' Wine Depot. In the photo, from left to right, Billy Forrester of Bubble Brothers, Arjen and Diederik, doing their best to look cheerful in the damp but icy winds howling around the country at the moment. I gather the discussions were interesting and good-natured, and the three stooges are meeting up later on at the Franciscan Well, where iki is already on the menu.

To judge by the iki website, these are the kind of people who would be sympathetic to some fun promotions. Let me know if you've any suggestions, as I'm sure the chaps will be reading this and it would be good to get some fresh ideas.
