MULDERSDRIFT – Taken by surprise, Mulderdrift-based brewer Steve Gilroy says no words could explain how happy he was to learn that the number one international best selling author Jeffrey Deaver drinks Gilroy Beer.
“I feel like a dog with seven tales all wagging,” said Gilroy, who cannot contain the excitement within him.
In his latest book Carte Blanche: The New James Bond Novel, the author (Jeffrey Deaver) wrote that Bond rang room service and ordered a Gilroy’s dark ale.
“That is written in black and white,” bragged Gilroy.
He added that this is a highest ever for beer.
“James Bond drives the best car, eats the best food and drinks Gilroy’s beer, that says enough.”
