10 More Beers On Tap


This Friday, November 13, Atlas Beer Cafe will be home to the most unique, individual and quirky beer-pouring system in Queenstown – adding 10 more beers on tap! Yes, you read it correctly, 10 MORE beers on tap.

One might ask how you could fit anything else into the tiny, busy bar of Atlas? ... Surely extra space does not just appear in thin air? There was a crazy idea of an industrial bar made with custom designed beer taps ... Pipes that scattered across the ceiling... 

Thanks to the insane imagination of Davey McKenzie and the specialised skills of Jono Profit, this dream has now become a reality. However, this was no ordinary dream to full-fill – with 40 hours on a running CNC machine centre, almost 200kg of metal, a 2230mm I-beam, steel piping, copper tubes, and very little space to work with (in Atlas) – J P Engineering company, based in Lake Hayes Estate, has managed to create the impossible. An industrialised tap system!


Come down and join the team at Atlas on Friday, November 13, to celebrate this new addition to our impressive little bar – and of course treat yourself to the new craft beers we will have in stock! See you all then!

WHY DO WE DO THIS? 

The Queenstown Mountain Bike Club is host to over a 1000 members yearly. They are highly dedicated to building and maintaining local trails, hosting special events and most importantly bringing the biking community together as one. The QMTBC does so much for the community, and Atlas wants to continue to get behind and support the club as much as we can! We know our ongoing support of QMTBC definitely gives them that extra helping hand when it comes to their fundraising and growth.


We can not forget to give a big shout out and thank you to Ronnie Baker for all our design, Brandland for all our printing and Tom Tom Productions for sights and sound up Wynyard! GCs! 

Help us kick off summer and celebrate the Atlas Season of Shred Party and raise a ton of dough for the awesome Queenstown Mountain Bike Club. 
See you all November 21!
