THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

Port Taranaki’s own salty puss - ‘Colin’s’ the cat shot to fame in 2001 when a free feed saw her accidentally stow away on the methanol tanker 'Tomiwaka' - bound for Korea.

The chatty tortoiseshell snoozed her way out of the country and into national headlines, sparking daily updates, TV appearances, and an international rescue mission. Cat food giant ‘Whiskas’ flew her home in style before she was crowned honorary ambassador of New Plymouth.

A true local legend, she lived out her days at the tanker terminal. Our salted Raspberry Gose tips a hat to Colin's the Cat – the original Saline Feline.
