I was meaning that the mods will not be pleased, and will probably give you a nice infraction for doing so.

Emmersons IPA is good, as is the Speights

But this Tuatara is GREAT

We frequently do. It is just the manner(modspeak for "location") in which the raving happens...:rolleyes:

Tuatara makes the best damn beers on the planet. Period.

The judge's decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into.

So where would a fellow find such wondrous ales in Auckland?

Aucklanders know nothing about beers. That's why you get Rheineck and such.

A point that is easily disproved, if you ever drag your arse in this direction, I will ensure you get to experience some very fine ales and beers of immaculate pedigree and flavour.
But you had better be quick or wait until I get back from the states to accept my offer.
You also failed to answer my question.
PS; we only made Rheineck to give to out of towners, bloody awful stuff.

I have it on good authority that Speights Three Star is now brewed in Dorkland

So that's f.all improvement for you

PS: Don't panic lads, the good stuff, their Craftsman range, is still from Down South

Haven't tried this beer you are talking about, but has anyone else tried Mata Beer from Kawerau? Mmmm... boutique breweries sticking it to the big boys!
