PIXIE DUST:

Pixie Dust is a classic weissbier with a ye**ty smooth mouthfeel, golden in colour with citrusy hops and a mild bitterness. The perfect thirst-quencher for those warmer days.

Inspired by the Cape Honey Bee, whose vital pollination services are threatened by habitat destruction and pesticide use, this brew reminds us to protect what’s essential for life itself.
