3 - "import"
4 - old west

Say what!?

i'm not about to tell you what to drink, but i find steinlager fucking awful

go the seasonal ale!

Have you tried Doppelback (is that what it's called?)? Yay for 7% beers! And also Kristal - the champange of beers - was great, but its release wasn't long enough. I have to say a big no to the lemonlime type spring beer though.

doppelback yum, but haven't tried kristal, i'm a huge fan of variety though so i shall take up your suggestion :)

I have already hidden a six pack of Summer under my bed to pull out to bring me sunshine n the depths of winter - I think I must remember to do the same with all the others.

They still make Ngahere ("Nga") gold (spelling?) in Chch? I can't remember what the brewery is called, but they use to fill whatever you had (pots, milk bottles, jerry cans etc) and charge accordingly kind of like a gas station.

harringtons

Yeah, that sounds about right, thanks.

i also recommend their fine ale,
not such a high percentage
but less likely to wake up in a gutter

Never woke up in the gutter, the cop shop a couple of times, a few nameless chicks beds, face down in my own puke *shudders*, but never the gutter.

You're all class, disco!

"capricious youth"

the cop shop?
here we just call it the gutter

//Here we just call it the gutter
Yeah, I was a tad "excitable" back then eh, committed more than a few acts of drunken stupidity.

back then??

jeez mate, how old are you?

you shouldn't let that stop ya
party like it's 1999

Yeah something like that.

31, and we're talking about shit that happened over a decade ago but it might as well be life time, I've grown up a bit since.

There is a very real problem with this list. You can see through all of these beers.

Check my top 5, you can see through 2 of them but they're both damn tasty. The other 3 should, by the sounds of you, be to your liking.

has anyone tried the peach and berry flavoured beers. Hurgh! Nasty

In a bout of "Oooh, free alcohol" I accepted an offer of a peach abomination. I should have been suspicious of how readily it was given away (rather like me with my Monteiths Radler.... subtle like a boy-racer). The evil metallic flavour lasted for hours afterward, and even after a few Monteiths Originals, I could still taste the peach when I burped. Ick. 0/10.

It's like if you mixed dissolved jelly crystals with a really skanky beer. Bleeeeeeeeeegh.

The ones I tried were free also.

1 - Tui
2 - Victoria Bitter
3 - Cascade
4 - Heineken
5 - Monteiths Pilsner/summer ale/ ie. the 5% monteiths range.

Beer only tastes good if it's FREE!!

1. Viking Draught (440mL cans)
2. Monteiths Original
3. Becks
4. Black Mac
5. Gisborne Gold

Conquer The Taste!

oh indeed
and it takes some conquering
but after a dozen of those you feel like a spring chicken :)

... I think I've normally conquered the taste after 6 or so. Then I can drink as many as I can afford.
