Season of Shred 2014 - Photos Preview

Sunday saw our annual knees up to celebrate the start of the MTB season go off with a bang! This year we also added a trick competition to our Season of Shred celebrations. This proved to be a big hit with lots of people coming to watch some hardy locals huck themselves off our Atlas ramp and into Lake Wakatipu; all competing for the best trick accolade. We'll have a full write up of the event on our news page soon, in the meantime here's a few snaps (big thanks to Callum Wood) of Season of Shred 2014. 

Pints for Wynyard Grand Total

October saw our 2nd Pints for Wynyard campaign where we joined forces with our friends at Emerson's, Coopers, Zeffer, Altitude Brewing Studioes, Invercargill Breweries, Tuatara and Betty's to donate $1 from every pint sold to the Wynyard Freeride Terrain Park. We managed this year to raise a whopping $6794.50! Woo hoo! We've got no doubt that the money will be put to excellent use by the club once again. Thanks to our brewing friends for helping use make a great contribution to the Queenstown community that we know will most definitely be appreciated.

And don't forget if you want to support QMTBC club some more... become a member. You'll be helping the club continue with their stellar work and you also get a ton of very nifty discounts at with many businesses around town, it's a win, win, win, win situation!

Thanks again to everyone who supported 2014's Pints for Wynyard, we hope you'll be pulling up a bar stool and sedately sipping on a craft brew next year too.

With thanks,

The Atlas Team :-)

SOS Party: Special Guest Beer: Coopers Artisan Reserve

We're going to be serving an awesome guest beer at the Season of Shred Party this Sunday. We expanding into neighbouring Farelli's Trattoria for the evening so we'll have some kegs on the lines in there. We'll be pouring Coopers Original Pale Ale and our special guest beer for the night is Coopers Artisan Reserve.

The Coopers Artisan Reserve is a reflection "of the ancient art of beer making" and is crafted to taste as fresh as possible. This Pilsner is made with Hallertau Tradition and Hallertau Hersbrucher hops both sourced from Bavaria. It's citrus-y upfront and has a balanced malt character.

For the wine lovers among you we'll also be serving the Farelli's house wines; the Bianco which is a Marlbourough Savignon Blanc and the Rosso which is a Central Otago Pinot Noir.
