Speights Pale Ale

[meteor]

This isn't really a rant... ok, I'm pissed off!, now it is.
Had some Speights Pale Ale in the Speights Brewery in Dunedin recently and thought, shit thats a nice drop!, now I'm back in Auckland I can't find it anywhere. Any fellow Aucklanders know who sells it?

[Trudes]

OMG!! Bastards! I started drinking it on a trip down South a few years ago cause I couldn't find a Lion Red :o But I like Speights as my "cheap beer" preference (wouldn't touch Red now)

[MisterD]

If it's not at Cardrona in Mt Eden, it's nowhere in town. B'stards don't do it in bottles anymore...send a PM to Flatcap and complain.

[James Deuce]

Real mates don't let mates drink Speights. Or Lion Red.

What are you talking about Auckland boy? I can pop down to my local super market and buy it :2thumbsup

Mind you I am in Christchurch. We keep the good stuff to the South.

Including the roads. :lol:

Me too and I'm in Tauranga.
Old Dark would be my beer of choice, but sometimes I'll do a Pale Ale or Distinction though.

Sweet, I'll just pop down and get some then... Aw crap! Thanks for nothing

So do they have to make the bottles bigger to fit all your 6 fingers around them? But at least it'd give you something to look forward to after banjo practice!

I rang Cadrona (Mt Eden) Reckons they've stopped making it a couple of months ago???? Nooo, Found the perfect beer and only had 2 pints... epic fail

Six Fingers? Guess that means your Mum is your Cousin and your Aunty huh?
I understand three thumbs makes bottle tops easy to remove.

You can get Pale Ale anytime you want and you can make it yourself - to get instructions Watch the movie American Pie

Bit like trying to buy a Tuis in Bluff...but then I did find Speights regular in the first bar back from Cape Reinga...

Fuck Speights. My homebrew is way better, and far cheaper.

there was a guy who made the perfect home brew but lost the recipe so he sent a sample off to be analised hoping to find out what he had put in it, the report came back with " sorry to inform you that your horse has diabeties"

I had some in Tauranga 3 years ago.

It made my day just perfect!

Haha, us Mainlanders don't export it to the northern slums.

If I remember rightly there is a bottle shop on Greenlane that sells the southern stuff. Used to get my CD draught of him. He's a southern boy .... Glad to be out of that shithole they call Auckland.

Attacking??? Attacking??? Don't fight it, roll with it.

Actually you'll enjoy it more if you caress the road rather than attacking it.

Enjoy the ride, the Mainland is a great place to live.

I'm a one eyed Cantab through and through. Just worked my way up the country, now working my way back own. Will be riding down the Kaipoi next year.. What they charge for a bike on the ferry nowadays?

Ok, here's my secret, I grew up in Dunedin, only came up here for work... but stayed. Dn is and will always be home.

Peasea, re that pick of the open road, I came back from my OE, got off the plane in Chch drove south to get home, looked west and saw the snow capped alps, looked east and saw the blue pacific crashing onto a white sand beach, beautiful blue sky, not another car on the road... I knew I was home!

Ahh the south, gods own!

But at least you could share some of the premium amber mothers milk for the bro's up north... don't be greedy!
