Summer I'll drink anything cold, usually whats on special... Winter time I like darker brews.
I'm not much of a drinker but I love Monteith's Radler and Summer Ale, Mac's Gold, and Asahi whenever I go out for dinner or to a bbq.

limes and lemons are hipsters with jo 90 specs and beards. Radlers and fruity tasting beers are week a55 5hit. Mike TPA her in Tara is pretty hard to beat atm, I think it is also 7.0% two pint Kicker.
This beer has been reported to propagate the wickedest, most flavoursome burps. ?Mouth-feel is chunky and viscous, a beer that you can truly get your teeth into. Serve chilled in a stemmed glass, allowing the rich colour to shine, and the aromas to entice the drinker. This beer is dangerously moreish for a 7. 0% ABV candidate, so beware and please drink responsibly.

I agree, it seems to only attract good looking people.
On the other hand a irish mate turned up with double brown the other day... In a can... By the dozen... With the plastic holders... Then tried to donate the leftovers.
don't forget your beers buddy!

maybe it was the fact they had been sitting in a mates fridge for 6 months cos they were flat out the worst beer iv had next to fosters
I was real keen on trying that Mikes place in Taranaki but ran out of time there. I virtually never drink the same stuff twice - theres always something new to try out.
A few nods from me:
Porter & Stout
Invercargill Pitch Black - great stuff.
Boundary Road chocolate mousse - insanely sweet but 1 or 2 are delicious
Harringtons Baltic - expensive but worth a crack
Geekbeer coconut porter - very drinkable
Stoke bomber oatmeal stout - eatin and drinkin in it
Cassels milk stout - amazing. And its just down the road from me.
Wheat:
Tuatara hefe - very light and easy to drink if you are not mad about wheat beer
Three Boys - blows the head off me but its very tasty stuff, but a bit expensive
Macs great white - cheap and pretty decent
I'm not such a fan of IPA as they are often too hoppy for me but..
Yeastie boys pot kettle black is certainly worth a try as is EPICs IPA.

Take gives me grief for putting a lime in my corona... look out DS
Well he won't be on my case for it, I don't drink it. Beer reacts to light, hence the dark bottles. The only reason Corona and the likes are in clear bottles are for marketing - and they need to put in an additive to stop it from misbehaving.
Corona the double brown of Mexico...and the lime is used to kill off germs and rust from dodgy bottling and storage in fish bins and the like...the only thing that is marketed in Mexico is ciggies... dont know how it became to be classed as a fancy beer in NZ
These type of ad's are all over Mexico... fark cool surfers and metro hipsters... real deal cowboys are what the average Mexican thinks is cool. Ciggie smoking Dudes in cowboys hats strutting around like ranch hands everywhere you go.

Blew me away all these Machismo Mehicanos in their sunday best clothes and a knife on the hip while getting their boots polished every 3 mins ....20cents for a packet of ciggies....nz wouldn't have retirement woes if we cut ciggies down to that price.

yeah doughbroz are all good. part of the reason i like corona is they are ok whether warm or cold, fruit or no fruit.
I have been known to tip Coronas down the sink unless ice cold. {puke Icon}
if you are out west ways tubes there is a new alcohol shop opposite mcdonalds on lincoln road that has a heap of craft beers.

I brew my own, using a mini brew-in-a-bag technique. Currently enjoying an Anzac Pale Ale with lots of NZ cascade in it, got a saison ready for bottling in the fermenter, and going to brew a weizenbock this weekend for winter. Here is some info on BIAB - seriously, anyone can do it with a $100 brewing kit from the supermarket, one or two big pots, thermometer and a grain bag. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/ [homebrewtalk.com]
Here's the original recipe for Pot Kettle Black:
http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/52920-pot-kettle-black/ [aussiehomebrewer.com]
It's got a heap of hops in it.
I was forced to drink a sassy red recently. Goddam awful beer. Tasted stale and metalic, nothing like the english bitter it tries to be.

Battery you cultureless oaf, truffles are not in season yet.....
Yeah i don't drink these all the time - like Daemon, my staple is home brew. I'm just at the end of my last stout which was pretty decent, but a mate brews everything from scratch - I'm still at the kit stage with a few additions. He made a wheat beer 2 months back that was one of the best beers i've ever tasted - total cost worked out at 22bucks for 50 bottles.
But drg wanted some recommendations - you can get some of these on beercellar.co.nz but i generally just hit them in pubs as I'm not keen on spending lots on bottles of craft beer for home.
Tuatara/boundary road are in a lot of supermarkets.
Not a fan of hoppy beers
been using a handfull of new kanuka/manuka shoots boiled up for 20min ...in a couple of beers
nice taste
but not as good as two chopped chills added to the wort

Try Crafty Beggars then Trash. It's got all the quality of the other craft beers but doesn't over do the hops.

Call me a snob, but i won't buy that either. I bought a bunch of crafty beggars wheat and they were pretty alright. There a little bit of stuff on the back of the bottle saying "yeah we are just a bunch of grass roots mates in a garage trying our hand at this and we made this wicked beer blah blah blah,"
Its Lion breweries. If they had at least said, hey look, we are Lion Nathan and here is a craft beer we are making, fair enough. But no, this BS instead.
Cool I'm gonna check out some of these beers soon.
We've got some Tuatara here at work, it was alright but nothing worth raving about.

boundary rd is owned by independent liquor so small craft brewery it isnt, but its a step up on monteiths.

Boundry Road is a nice drop as is Hodgarden, NZ is actually making some dam nice beers now.
NZ Autumn/winter is custom made for single malt whiskey though.

Was it the Hefe? I've only tasted that one but i think they have a few.
Its amazing the difference in what supermarkets offer. theres a fresh choice over in New Brighton which is a pretty average supermarket but its beer selection is phenomenal. I'd be real keen to hear of any microbreweries in the NI that people recommend. I agree that NZ does have some flippin great beers.
hah ^ Plenty of reasons to drink or not drink different beers, shallow or otherwise. I for one want to know what War tastes like.

Thats a very Auckland outlook Daemon... my Wellington has changed
angry i cant get putch black, so angry, dont tell me about mass produced beers either
Was a beerboy in A Tex/Mex bar reasturant in San Diego for a while....me, two coctailmixers and 8 or 9 indecently dressed coctail waitress's...I agree with Battery Dos equis were not to bad, Corona only if ice cold and one called san miquel. The mexican beers were far better than the average Yank brew...but the drug in a bottle in tijuana (tequila) was the general drink of choice...three of those you lost all feeling from the waist down....

i have some friends who homebrew n although they claim they add more sugar to increase the alcohol they arent the strongest brews. sux really cos tastewise they are quite good.
don't mind a pilsener every now & then...especially if washing down blue cod.
