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

ales: Black sheep rigwelter is good and hobgoblin.

[surferdude_scarborough]

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

[jennie]

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

Otherwise:

Kirin
Kronenberg/Kronenberg blanc
Budvar
or Feathers strawberry beer

[northswell]

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

[RJD]

Speights is poor.

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

[Hang11]

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

[surf patrol]

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.
