FROM THE PRIDE OF THE PLAINS IN THE DEEP SOUTH ......TO YOUR PLATE

There’s a real taste of the "South" on the menu at the Palmerston North Ale House

Pan-Fried Salmon - salmon from the deep south, served with silky parsnip purée, a medley of Southland-grown root vegetables, bok choy and finished with a truffle mayo.

And there’s only one thing we reckon you should enjoy alongside it….....Emerson’s Pride of the Plains | Riwaka Pilsner | 5%

Brewed in Dunedin, Pride of the Plains brings bold fruit flavours with notes of passionfruit and lime — a fresh, crisp match for the salmon, earthy Southland root vegetables and creamy truffle mayo.

First brewed in 1995, this special Emerson’s brew has made its return in 2026 — and it might not be around again for another 30 years!

A little taste of Pride of the South on a plate and in a glass, right here in Palmy.

Come in and try it this Weekend - while stocks last.

30 years in the making… and it might not be around again for another 30!
