Good beer - NOT!

[Moi]

Today the supermarket had Boundary Road on special and so bought a six-pack of 'Grizzly Beer' and of 'Flying Fortress' and will try a bottle of one of them with tonight's dinner of leftovers...

If not satisfied I'll be sending the cat after one or two KBers so he can ladder their support hose!

Eeewww boutique beers, every time I try those new ones its always disappointing...
I think the lasting flavour is improved if your first taste if whatever is accompanied by good times worth remembering
But in no particular order as don't drink much anymore, I like and would drink again:
Tui
Lion Red
Speights
Macs Gold
Tiger

and from overseas, and I mean the genuine stuff not the fake 'brewed under licences in NZ rubbish
Stella
Carling Extra Cold
Amstel (not the lite version sold here)
San Miguel
Carlsberg (used to cart the malted barley to the brewery northhampton)

Someones going to mention spirits sooner or later so...
Wild Turkey Rare Breed barrel proof
Russian Standard Vodka Gold or platinum.
Bicardi

and I might even have a Jim Beam if Mila's shouting a round

See, I told you buggers that beer was a gateway to the harder stuff. Heres the proof.
Alkies the lot of ya.

My "responmsible alcohol use" is fully under control, I can stop at anytime lol...

Yeah Nah lol

I do enjoy Tiger beer. But you have to have it very cold in a nice tall glass to really appreciate it

++ bouncing czech. All the Boundary Road 'craft' stuff is good. They also do Holsten pilsner under licence which is nice.

....

I personally can't stand anything Monteith's, I think their beer is shite and has been ever since being bought as a trophy wife by DB, who then proceeded to pull the fucking douchebag move of trademarking the name of a style of beer (Radler) and taking another brewer to court over it

Boundary Road is pretty good, and often offered in Pak'n'Save at a reasonable price. Nice variety and good (drinking at home) strength.
Emersons is similarly competent in taste, but more often available on draught.

Moa has been OK... Not had the one described as being bad. Moa Original seems a safe bet.

Monteiths is nice enough to drink, but is like an 'alcopop' version of real ale.

Speig.... OK. Let's not go there just now.

Best IPA I've (so far) had in NZ is the Good George. Too strong for anything more than sipping one with a meal when riding, but very clean and very tasty.

On a budget but want something that tastes like beer? Lion Brown mixed with Waikato Draught. Don't get excited - it's not great. But it is better than it has any right to be.

A lot of fussy beer drinkers in here. My favorite beer is the one in front of me, whatever that is. Don't get me wrong, I like a decent craft beer like the next guy, but I'm not gonna get all chardonnay-sniffing about it.

Maybe we need a KB Alky hall of fame.

alkies go to meetings. Theyre just addicts.
I do have a big double stout im struggling to get through. Only a crate and a half left!

Those who suggested Boundary Road are safe from support-hose laddering cats...

tried the Grizzly Beer - it's an alcoholic ginger beer and was very pleasant and palatable, a good choice with leftovers.

Hope the Flying Fortress is as good.

Cheers!

...having a couple of pints of your favourite ale and passing it, is without parallel...no matter what angle you look at it...I dont drink anything in a green bottle...

[Tazz]

If you're cracking them over some other cunts head perhaps...

Brown shower? Think I've seen that on a DVD I've got floating around somewhere.

At least when you run out you can just top them up with water from a garden hose that's 80m long and been sitting in the sun all day, unlike those suckers that have to go to the booze barn to get more.

I got a box of the chocolate moose ones 90% sure they were going to be rubbish a while ago, but instead ended up drinking them for the summer The brand is owned by Asahi, although they leave that gem out of their (awesome) marketing.

That explains the 2 litre cans (nice aluminium screw top can with handle) of Asahi "Karakuchi" beer that Countdown were selling recently.
Little sticker on the cans says "imported by boundary road brewery"
Not bad for the price ($10)

It's ok, but IPA-wise, the Mumbo Jumbo is better. Better yet, I have a few bottles of horrendously pricey Jennings Cocker Hoop from my local English emporium. Homesickness ahoy.
