Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the 'greats' of history.
This month's story :-

On the 6th October 1769 a surgeon’s boy at the mast head of Captain Cook’s H.M.S. Endeavour spotted the coast line of New Zealand to claim it for our Country.

Cook once said that his aim was to go “further than any man has been before me and as far as I think it is possible for a man to go” Move over Neil Armstrong & Co. This seafarer charted the entire New Zealand coast in six months by sailing 2400 miles before coming back home.
