Surfing Waves

hey just curious to see what beers people enjoy here.
being in the states i don't get that many of the imports from australia or new zealand which saddens me.. but. some of my favorites are red stripe and stella artois.

how bout you guys?

Sheppies Still cider

or a bit of Ruddles, Tanglefoot or Doombar will go down nicly

emm i have lots but i drink hobgoblin the most so i sops that

UK I used to love a lot of Hobgoblin, Black sheep ales etc.

NZ prolly the Twisted Hop's Challenger is my fav pint, clean & hoppy ale.

hmm good one this. i like a lot of different kinds of beer.

i like premium lagers. my favourite has to be budvar from the Czech republic.

ales: Black sheep rigwelter is good and hobgoblin.

im going to shut up before i start sounding like a drunk

why do all people go with black sheep it sucks its the worst ale about

Marstons Strong Pale india ale
Stella Artois
Budvar
Blackthorn

currently enjoying a corona but usually prefer Peroni, San Miguel or carling if I have an early start/surf the next day

oo san miguel too like that stuff.

n black sheep isnt bad. im not to convinced about the standard ale but the rigwelter is good.

Ah yes i just recently discovered Peroni, very nice beer for how light it is.

i need to goto the UK and try every beer i can.. we have a lot here but its all crap like budweiser, miller, coor's

its sad :-/

anyone try Speights from New Zealand?

Guinness
Brains S.A.
Newcastle Brown Ale

If you do come over, just find yourself a good beer festival....and we'll see you when you wake up.

Monteith's Golden, brewed on the West Coast of the South Island of NZ. Lovely beer.

Not too keen on Speights, it's served cold, and is a bit like a week English bitter.

They do fantastic advertising for it though.

If anyone in the uk is keen to try Speights, there's a kiwi pub being shipped to the UK at the moment.

The new Steinlager Pure isn't too bad either.

Beer's my job I run a chain of pubs in NZ. Tough life

Imperial....it reminds me of being in Costa Rica

Otherwise:

Kirin
Kronenberg/Kronenberg blanc
Budvar
or Feathers strawberry beer

Cant grr wwrrong wwivvv a few scuuppps offf hic hic wed stwipe

Speights is poor.

Tui is a much better swill. And the adverts. oooh the adverts..

I'd love to spend a couple of weeks at the Mangatinoka Brewery.....

IMHO you are not missing much from Australian beers. I drink imported beer here. It seems to be getting harder to find though as more and more of them seem to be being brewed under licence and it just aint the same. Becks, Heiniken, Stella etc all brewed here now.

I quite liked Steinlarger but man did it give me a headache in the morning if I had a few. Didnt mind Speights but have to agree that it was a little like weak tasting bitter.

It all depends, when im on a budget and using the fake id its blue ribbon papst, when I get to choose whatever but still dont want to look suspicious its yuengling.
