Speights Pale Ale

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?

OMG!! Bastards! I started drinking it on a trip down South a few years ago cause I couldn't find a Lion Red

But I like Speights as my "cheap beer" preference (wouldn't touch Red now)

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.

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

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

Including the roads.

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.

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"
