Celtic owner Gary Wright pulls a pint for Brew Union owners Jules Grace, left, and Murray Cleghorn to celebrate their craft beer coming on tap. It's never easy competing with the big boys, but a Palmerston North brewery has broken into its city's pub taps at a well-established tavern. Brew Union Brewing Company's beers are being poured for the first time at The Celtic Inn.
