Time for a beer thread.
I'm a bit of a brand whore myself.
I like to spread my favours around and try any new varieties that come about.
I know this has been done in threads before but I am currently smitten by Mac's Wicked Blonde.
According to the label it has "hints of citrus fruits and marmalade, wickedly balanced with hoppy bitterness."
Dunno about that but it has got heaps of flavour and I I I I I I I I I like it!!!
And, and by crikey, I think it's true, why yes indeed there's one sitting in front of me now!
Try it, you know you want to.

What is this Speight's 'GOLD' abomination. Which northern marketing monkey thought that one up? For some reason this enrages me - every time I see an ad or price label with that on it I want to scream 'It's called 'Speights' FFS!' (Worse still if you ask for a Speight's in a bar and are asked what type :angry2: :angry2: :angry2: )

/rant over/

Sorry Kittie, not your fault - just needed to get that rant off my chest. Old Dark is a nice drop - but if you want a real Dunedin beer try the Emerson's range - my fave is their organic pilsener. Hard to find in the northern parts, but I'm told three places in Auckers sell it - including Victoria Park New World (I've yet to seek it there)

Lucky for me though, I'm in Dunnos now, so Emerson's is easy to get! :woohoo:

[TraD_MaN]

oh man:cry: im ghey !

tui is the best thoe cant beat tui i mean what a great beer and only great people drink tui, tui wins its the best.

Where I work when asked for speights you have to ask "Speights Gold or Speights Dark"

Pretty hard to know what people want when they say "can I have a speights" and there is two different types of speights on tap. Thats like saying.. "can I have some smokes" and there is a about 20 different kinds being sold. :pinch:

Seems to work just fine anywhere in the South Island. Like I said - I blame some northern marketing monkey. Grrrr. Can't explain why it aggravates me so...guess 'tis true what they say - you can take the boy out of Dunedin, but you can never take the Dunedin out of the boy.

Speight's isn't gold because of its colour - it won some gold medals so long ago it's irrelevant - I guess before that time it was just 'Speight's ale'. Speight's is Speights. Old Dark is just that - Dunno of any other kind of old dark - likewise for Distinction.

That said - Speight's isn't all that shit hot (And only the draught stuff is brewed at Rattray St these days - the bottles/cans are brewed in Auckers and Chch) - don't get me wrong, 'tis OK - but for a cheapish beer that is mighty tasty and goes down easy - I go Tuborg.

[T.W.R]

should try some Harrington's Ngahere Gold for lager, or Big John for a dark ale both 9%

The label has always said 'Speight's Gold Medal Ale'.
But it is always just known as Speights down here cos that's all there was until 10 years ago or so.
As you say it won some award at I think it was some expo at Brisbane or somewhere in 188X or something.
I don't know how I know that.

[Phurrball]

True - was meaning before the 188X medal you refer to below.

It's only if you know the answers to all the questions under the bottle caps that you have to worry idb!

The 'GMA' variety of Speight's is their 'bread and butter' beer that they've always brewed, this is why it should be called just 'Speight's' - it's been around donkey's years. Ask for the johnny-come-lately varieties by their full name - the elder statesman deserves some respect!

Wicked Blonde is 'er' wicked. I am rather partial to their Sassy Red. Right tasty that is.

Most of what i drink these days is home brewed - it was that or give up drinking ($$$). In the usual manner of these things, I have spent so much on gear and bits and beer stuf, it would have been cheaper to keep buying, and better for my waistline.
At present there is half a keg (saves washing bottles) of all malt english Sherwood bitter in the fridge, some chocolate stout on the shelf and a Macs Brown, a John Bull cider and soem other stuff maturing. Haven't been home so
supplies have run down.

That's a very detailed response Geoff, thank you for sharing with the group.

Mr Poos however is still reluctant to share and I fear that he is regressing into a state known to workers in this field as 'tui-linked paranoia'.
This is a condition in which the patient believes that we're coming to get you Mr Poos all other people that don't share his we're going to pull down your trousers Mr Poos preference in alcoholic beverage we're going to make you squeal like a pig Mr Poos are in some way out to get them vaseline will be your friend Mr Poos in some deviant manner.
Poppycock of course but the poor unfortunate wretches are almost lost to reason.

[RiderInBlack]

Dam awesome German Beer that. Had it for the first time Wed Night with et-wa (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=465730&postcount=18) . They showed me how to drink properly (got to pore it right or you don't get the full flavour):Punk: The Pizza Barn in Waipu has it. Would love to know if there is any Booze Shop that stocks this, cause I'd like to get some more.

[Lias]

I'm a Tui lad through and through (In my room at the moment are a A2 Tui poster, a 4-5ish foot long corrugated platistc Tui sign, a Tui Bedspread & pillowcase on the bed, assorted Tui clothing, a Tui gnome, and I have an inflatable Tui couch as well.

I'm also quite partial to a Waikato, when I first moved here I had illusions about it being made with dirty Waikato river water, but once I started drinking it I found I actually quite enjoy it.. Not as much as Tui mind you thou.

Lately I've also been experimenting with various beers (no its NOT just an excuse to get pissed), trying to broaden my horizons a bit.

In no particular order:
Grolsch: Not too bad, my favouite of the euro type beers, but I still wouldnt rush out and buy it.
Stella: The only other euro type beer I'll drink without it being free. You can keep your Heinies, Steinies, and other such things.
Cardrona Gold by Wanaka Beerworks.. Fucking hard to find beer! Only ever had it 3 times but was seriously impressed by it.
Macs Wicked Blonde: Not a bad wee drop, got 3 free 6packs through a competition, and have brought a few more since as I enjoyed it.
Monteiths Radler: Doesnt really even taste like beer as we know it, but fuck me its good.Its Currently my favourite hot weather tipple.
Macs gold: Not a bad beer, but its price point is roughly the same as Tui, DB,
etc and I prefer Tui and Waikato for my mass consumption beer.
Other beers off the top of my head I can think of that I've tried and wernt shit are Victoria Bitter, DB, Export Gold, Speights, Corona, Sol, Monteiths Black, Monteiths Red, I also used to drink alot of Lion Brown in my younger days but kind of went off it as I got older.

I'll give most beers a go, the only things I've found over the years that I really havnt liked are the steinlager/heineken type euro beers (with a few exceptions noted above), Lion Red (great ads but SHIT beer), and a oversized bottle of Chocolate beer I brought randomly to try a few years back.

My 2 cents anyways.. I'd definitly encourage some of you to experiment with your beers a bit more, you'll be surprised at what you find out there thats good. And hey if you hate it you can always give it to your mates when they come around *grin*
