Speight's Brewery sails NZ pub to London

No joke, as if London needs more Kiwis though?

NZ brewery Speights has a rather novel marketing plan in full swing. Instead of just bringing their fine advertising* to European TV (probably because it would be banned on grounds of taste, common decency and being too funny), they've decided that if London won't come to Dunedin, Dunedin will go to London.

So they've loaded a pub onto a boat and are sailing it to the Thames.

Really. Great Beer Delivery

A wee while back we got word from Tim and a few other boys in London that they were missing their Speight’s.
That sounded a bit average to us, so we set about trying to send them some mercy supplies.
Then we kept getting emails from more and more lads who were in the same boat. Our initial plan to send over a few dozen suddenly wasn't going to cut it.
Then, over a beer or two, someone had this crazy idea to send over the pub. From Dunedin to London. On a boat.
Yep, the pub. Full of Speight’s.

If you ever needed proof that South Islanders were a wee bit errr special, this would probably cover all your needs.
The boat will be docked on the Thames for most of the summer, making it real easy for Londoners sick of finding beetroot in their burgers to find a row.

And they are currently at Samoa and seeking new crew. Beer provided.

*L&P ads better though, but then again Tui ain't bad either. Ach click yerself mad at retrokiwi.
