BEER + BARD: BURNING GLOBE with THIS FAIR VERONA “… a quart of ale is a dish for a King” – A Winter’s Tale Ten-year old Madeleine Brooks Gillespie loves Shakespeare and her Dad, Pete Gillespie, is the brewer at the Garage Project brewery. When she read about Shakespeare’s original Globe burning down in 1613, it occurred to her that it was exactly 400 years since it happened. She suggested to her father that he make a special brew of a beer, made with smoked malt, to commemorate the event, and sell it at a function with the proceeds going to Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand! Maddie recommended they call the ale, Burning Globe.
